Production Company of K-movie Version of Soulmate with Kim Da Mi and Jeon So Nee Planning to Re-release Movie in Theaters After Male Lead Byun Woo Seok’s Recent Breakout in Lovely Runner

Reportedly the production company of the K-movie remake of Soulmate, the award winning C-movie of the same name, is planning to re-release of the 2023 film in theaters. The reason is of course the sudden stratospheric rise to fame of male lead Byun Woo Seok, who really was there in the movie as the McGuffin as was the male lead in the original movie. The story revolves around the two polar opposite best friends and soulmates which in the K-version was played by Kim Da Mi and Jeon So Nee. I didn’t hear the K-version was bad but it always felt like an indie movie and received that level of box office when it premiered last year.
