OFFICER BLACK BELT Announced As Latest Netflix Action Comedy Flick From Hit ‘Bloodhounds’ Series Director
On the count that as you’re reading this then you’re already familiar with the hit Netflix series “Bloodhounds”, be advised to take director Jason Kim’s next offering into consideration as casting is announced for Officer Black Belt, with Kim Woo-bin (Alienoid) and Kim Sung-kyun (Seoul Vibe).
In this upcoming film, top star Kim Woo-bin (from Black Knight) portrays the unique character of a martial arts prodigy who has an impressive total of nine dans (meaning ranks) in Taekwondo, Kendo, and Judo. This ordinary yet extraordinary young man with a knack for crime detection is expected to enthrall audiences with his blend of charm and martial prowess.
The story kicks off with Kim Woo-bin’s character saving a ‘martial arts officer’ from a criminal’s assault. That’s an officer who partners with a probation officer solely for physically dangerous situations. As a result of this brave rescue, Kim Woo-bin’s character is made a temporary ‘martial arts officer’ for five weeks.
As a dedicated probation officer, Kim Sung-kyun’s character recognizes the exceptional talents of Kim Woo-bin’s character and suggests he take on a permanent role as a ‘martial arts officer’, marking the start of this duo’s crime-fighting adventures.
Officer Black Belt delves into the exciting realm of officers who keep the community safe through their camaraderie and special crime-busting skills. This unique action-comedy concept will be directed by Jason Kim, the director of Midnight Runners, and the recent hit series Bloodhounds.
Officer Black Belt hails from Climax Studio and Seven O Six and remains pending with a release date. In the meantime, do catch up on “Bloodhounds” if you haven’t yet. I’m working on Woo-bin’s Black Knight series myself, tbh.
