Netflix Teams Up with Park Gyu-tae for New Comedy Action Film ‘Husbands’
Netflix has officially announced the production of a new original comedy-action film, ‘Husbands’, directed by Park Gyu-tae, the creative mind behind the widely acclaimed hit 6/45. Known for his witty dialogue, layered humor, and dynamic characters, Park returns with yet another cinematic surprise.
‘Husbands’ tells the unpredictable story of ex-husband Chungsik and current husband Minseok, who are forced into an unlikely alliance when their wife is kidnapped by a dangerous drug cartel. What follows is a thrilling, laugh-out-loud rescue mission fueled by miscommunications, clashing personalities, and chaotic action sequences.
Fans of Extreme Job will be delighted as veteran actor Jin Seon-kyu and rising star Gong Myung reunite, this time as the comedic pair of rival husbands. Jin, known for his magnetic performances across Netflix’s The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch, Alienoid Part 2, and The Cursed, plays Chungsik, a dedicated narcotics detective who practically lives at the precinct. Just as he busts the kingpin of a new synthetic drug operation he’s been tracking for years, he discovers that his ex-wife, Sine, has been abducted.
Minseok, the charismatic and refined current husband played by Gong Myung—recognized for his nuanced roles in Citizen Deok-Hee, Killing Romance, and One Week Before I Die—is a veterinarian with no combat experience but strong determination. Together, they set off on a rescue mission that blends gut-busting laughs with high-stakes action.
The film’s antagonists also shine with star power. Kim Ji-seok takes on the role of Do-jun, the mastermind of a cutting-edge drug empire. Meanwhile, Yoon Kyung-ho, celebrated for his performance in Trauma Center, plays Yonggang, a rival gang leader striving to regain control of his territory.
Actress Kang Han-na plays the kidnapped wife, Sine, who despite her perilous situation, remains fiercely defiant. Lee Da-hee steps into the role of Hyeran, Do-jun’s wife and a strategic player within the drug business. Known for impactful performances in Single’s Inferno, Island, and Divorce Insurance, Lee promises a bold transformation in this role.
Produced by TPS Company, the studio behind boundary-pushing hits like Seobok, Restricted Call, and Fabricated City, ‘Husbands’ is expected to deliver an innovative fusion of comedy and action. The film will be released exclusively on Netflix.
