Info in Movie News | Bae Doona, a Korean actress, is making her quirky return to cinema with the release of her most recent movie, entitled Virus, which is not your traditional love story. By the way, the movie will be released on May 7, and it seems that the audience will be thrilled with an outstandingly strange movie.
According to Soompi, Virus follows Taek Seon (played by Bae Doona), a translator who gets infected with something called the Toxo Virus—a bizarre illness that makes people fall in love completely out of the blue. Suddenly, she finds herself on a wild journey with three very different guys: Soo Pil (Son Suk Ku), a super awkward researcher who's never dated before; Yeon Woo (Jang Ki Ha), her old elementary school classmate turned car dealer; and Lee Kyun (Kim Yun Seok), the only expert who might be able to cure the virus.
The first posters dropped recently, and they really lean into the movie’s offbeat tone. One shows Taek Seon in bright pink hazmat gear, blushing behind heart-shaped steam, while a warning tag lists symptoms like: “1. Increased heart rate, 2. Boosted confidence, 3. Dopamine explosion.” Sounds romantic... and slightly terrifying?
In the trailer, we are able to notice the change of Taek Seon's character from a person full of sadness who almost felt nothing to a happier and livelier person that later we realize is for no reason. Yeon Woo is the first to tell that something isn't right, while Soo Pil and Lee Kyun begin to doubt her in their own particular manner. The course of events seems to have changed as Lee Kyun claims that she has "super antibodies" which can most probably be the basis for the virus identification (or curing).
Actually, Virus seems to be something more than just an ordinary rom-com. It combines the elements of science fiction, a love triangle, and a comical rather absurd situation together with a touch of tender feelings. If you are bored with the usual love tales, that is the one to truly affect you in a good way.
