It was number one in advance tickets on all reservation sites in the fourth week of October and has topped the box office for the second week.

The film received a record score for a comedy in a preview screening. And since being released, word-of-mouth praise continues to spread. Charismatic head of Filmitsuda Jang's prominent talent has been recognized in his work in both theater and cinema.

"Going by the Book" (Bareuge Salja) is the feature film directorial debut of RA Hee-chan. The comedy's protagonist – a righteous and punctual policeman – is played by Jeong Jae-yeong. JANG Jin is responsible for the scenario.
Jeong's character follows rules to the extremes and it causes his downfall from detective to traffic agent. When he is given the role of a bank robber in a bank robbery simulation, he again fails to grasp the situation and goes too far, causing such mayhem that the media rush to the scene to cover the 'bank robbery'. Ra was the assistant director of JANG Jin during the film "Murder, Take One" ("The Big Scene"). JANG Jin is known for his particular style for adding comedy elements. JANG wrote and directed films like "Someone Special" and this year's "A Day with My Son". He also wrote the script for "Welcome to Dongmakgol". Jeong is a regular collaborator with JANG; including "Someone Special", "Welcome to Dongmakgol", "Guns and Talks" and "Righteous Ties"...| More | ||||||||

 By Kim Tae-jongStaff Reporter Director Jang Jin is famous for his twisty and unconventional storylines and creation of peculiar characters in such works as "Guns and Talks" (2001), "Someone Special" (2004) and "Murder, Take One" ("The Big Scene", 2005). Having successfully won over a lot of fans with his particular style, it is no doubt that the audience has high expectations for his new film, "A Day With My Son", even if it seems to have many elements typical of a melodramatic tearjerker _ it is a story about a man serving a life sentence who gets one day out of jail for the first time in 15 years to meet his son. But the new film is a total disaster as it is too Jang Jin-esque. In the film, Lee Gang-sik (played by Cha Seung-won) is a criminal, who serves a life sentence in prison after being convicted of murder and robbery. For the first time in 15 years, the well-behaved prisoner is granted a one-day prison leave. What he wants to do most is to see his son, whom he ...| More | ||||||||
