Cha Seung-won, Ra Mi-ran star in comic action film

Cha Seung-won and Ra Mi-ran will play a married couple in director Won Shin-yun’s upcoming comic action film “Family Force,” The Korea Times reported. The film follows a three-generation Marine family caught in a terrorist attack at a large hospital in Seoul.

The project brings together family comedy and action, with Cha playing a former Marine master sergeant and Ra playing the family’s emotional center. Filming began in September, according to The Korea Times.

According to The Korea Times, “Family Force” is directed by Won Shin-yun and centers on a family visiting a hospitalized relative when a multinational terrorist attack breaks out at a large Seoul hospital.

Cha Seung-won plays Cheol-du, a former Marine master sergeant. Cha said he was drawn to the script because the family story had an unusual setup: “they’re not an ordinary family.”

Ra Mi-ran plays Ye-bun, Cheol-du’s wife and the emotional anchor of the family, The Korea Times reported. The story follows the family as they clash, regroup and confront the terrorists together.

Jang Ryul plays Tae-in, who carries out the attack with multinational terrorists. Park Hyung-sik plays Cheol-hoon, a sergeant in the Marine Corps Special Reconnaissance Unit who is on final leave before discharge, marking his first big-screen appearance in about seven years.

Baek Yoon-sik plays Cheol-sung, Cheol-du’s father and a decorated war veteran. Baek said he looked forward to “showing audiences the cheerful story of a Marine family.”

The Korea Times reported that filming for “Family Force” began in September.
