THE GUARDIAN: Nam Woo-Hyun Fights To Rescue His Mother In The First Trailer
Jeong Jang-hwa’s newest action thriller, The Guardian, has taken so long that I listed it twice since 2024 as a Coming Attraction. The good news? It’s finally coming to Korean screens on June 17. Even better? It has a first look trailer to show for the team’s efforts with actor Nam Woo-hyun of INFINITY leading the way and kicking things off accordingly.
The Guardian follows Park Do-jun (Nam), a former Taekwondo prospect who has since relocated to the Philippines with his mother, sacrificing his dreams to be by her side despite the strain her gambling addiction puts on their relationship. When she suddenly disappears, Park learns she’s been kidnapped by a notorious Korean gang operating in the region and has forty eight hours to save her.
The Guardian is a South Korean co-production in association with Viva Films, and also stars Park Eun-hye, Han Jae-suk, Kim Ok-joo, Eric Ejercito, Joko Diaz, Yassi Pressman, and more. I’ll try and keep up with the film’s acquisitions through the trades as always, and in the meantime, watch the trailer:
