Memento Mori's Min Kyu-dong directs romcom for M-Line

South Korean sales company M-Line Distribution is launching sales on romantic comedy All About My Wife at Filmart in Hong Kong. Directed by Min Kyu-dong (Antique, Memento Mori), the film stars Lee Sun-kyun from Oki’s Movie and Paju and Lim Soo-jung from Come Rain, Come Shine.

Tired of his wife’s nagging, Lee’s character schemes with his Casanova-like next door neighbor to get her to have an affair so he can divorce her.

M-Line has also picked up Asian sales right for Yoo Ha’s wolf hound thriller Howling starring Song Kang-ho (The Host) and Lee Na-young (Maundy Thursday). The company is also selling historical mystery melodrama Gabi and doing pre-sales on the Kim Jee-woon/Yim Pil-sung co-directed Doomsday Book.

“Howling has had good box office and this is its first Asian market so there’s a lot of interest, especially from Japan and China, and we expect to close deals on other territories as well,” said Nahie J. Kim, manager at M-Line.

“Gabi just opened in Korea and there’s a lot of interest from Asia and Europe. Since it stars Joo Jin-mo, that’s almost needless to say,” she said about the heart throb who stars as a Joseon Dynasty king in peril with a newly found taste for coffee.
