Men of Plastic follows a nosy Apgujeong native named Dae Guk (Ma Dong Seok) and skillful plastic surgeon Ji Woo (Jung Kyung Ho) opening a plastic surgery business together. The movie heralds Ma Dong SeokŌĆÖs transformation from a tough, macho guy to a lovely guy with unprecedented charm. One thing to note about Men of Plastic is that Ma Dong Seok joined hands with The Roundup crew once again. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a completely different film in tone and manner from our previous movie. We wanted to expand our genre range and try a delightful flick,ŌĆØ Director Lim Jin Soon commented. ŌĆ£We made it a rule to shoot more than 80% of the movie in the Apgujeong area in order to actually capture the lively characters against the backdrop of Apgujeong.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£I planned this movie eight years ago, actually,ŌĆØ Ma Dong Seok said. ŌĆ£I wanted to tell the story of people trying to survive in Apgujeong, the center of the beauty business.ŌĆØ The actor then talked about his surprising transformation in the movie. ŌĆ£Out of the about 100 films I appeared in, I changed my clothes the most in Men of Plastic,ŌĆØ he recalled. ŌĆ£It was excruciating, changing into more than 30 outfits in just two hours.ŌĆØ Ma further elaborated, ŌĆ£I researched not only the appearance but also the way he speaks and his business ideas. I worked hard so I could show a new kind of character.ŌĆØ Ma Dong SeokŌĆÖs partner is Jung Kyung Ho, playing a picky and cold-hearted plastic surgeon with the best skills. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve known Ma Dong Seok for 20 years,ŌĆØ the actor shared. ŌĆ£He has such an impact on my life, so itŌĆÖs just amazing that I got to work with him in a movie.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£In the movie, Ji Woo is often persuaded by Dae Guk,ŌĆØ Jung Kyung Ho introduced his role. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs the one getting convinced all the time, so as they start a business together, they bicker a lot. WeŌĆÖve solidified the lines from the very beginning, so we joked around a lot while rehearsing our lines.ŌĆØ Meanwhile, Men of Plastic will hit the screen on the 30th. Source (1)
