[First reaction at the press screening]

Opening Sept. 30, REAWAKEN MAN: THE RED follows Seok-hwan, a job seeker whose only real asset is unfounded confidence, as he learns he can come back to life 72 hours after dying and is drawn into a mysterious chase. Cineplay Editor-in-Chief Ju Seong-cheol shares his reaction after seeing 〈REAWAKEN MAN: THE RED〉 at a press screening.

Ju Seong-cheol / ★★★ / 'Overly self-assured' Koo Kyo-hwan's appeal — he holds his own just fine.

Job seeker Seok-hwan (Koo Kyo-hwan) can return to life 72 hours after he dies — and he grows stronger each time he dies. The film twists superhero conventions, and at the center of a frantically unfolding story packed with special effects is Koo Kyo-hwan, who holds everything together. Even as the bizarre chase keeps veering off course, he gives it a strange kind of credibility. Koo Kyo-hwan is a real force.
