This winter, the only family comedy film, '대가족' (Big Family), directed by Yang Woo-seok, has unveiled a heartfelt director's letter penned by the filmmaker himself.

'Big Family' (written and directed by Yang Woo-seok, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Genius) tells the story of a dumpling restaurant owner, played by Kim Yoon-seok, whose life takes an unexpected turn when his son, portrayed by Lee Seung-gi, becomes a monk. The arrival of adorable grandchildren leads to an unforeseen and delightful cohabitation experience.

Renowned for his successful films such as '변호인' (The Attorney) and '강철비' (Steel Rain), director Yang Woo-seok is now venturing into the family comedy genre with 'Big Family'. His debut film, 'The Attorney', captivated ten million viewers with its touching screenplay, earning him numerous awards for directing and writing. Following that, he showcased his exceptional directing skills across various genres with 'Steel Rain' and its sequel, 'Steel Rain 2: Summit', which collectively attracted over 6.26 million viewers.

With 'Big Family', Yang Woo-seok is set to deliver a fresh and entertaining experience distinct from his previous works. In his director's letter, he elaborates on his creative intentions, the significance of the film's title, and the intricate details of the characters, revealing his deep affection for the project.

Yang explains, "Over the past fifty years, the concept, meaning, and relationships of family in Korea have changed significantly. This film aims to remind those who may have forgotten about these changes due to their busy lives and to provoke thought." He expresses his commitment to ensuring that audiences feel their efforts to visit the theater are worthwhile, showcasing his strong confidence in the film, which heightens anticipation among potential viewers.

With the trusted director Yang Woo-seok at the helm, 'Big Family' promises to deliver a rich and enjoyable experience, akin to a perfectly crafted dumpling, when it hits theaters on December 11.
