Release Date Set For Taecyeon's First Film "The Night Before The Wedding"

Love and marriage seem to be in the cards for 2PM's Ok Taecyeon but so far it's all on the small or the big screen. His character in the paranormal drama "Who Are You?" is falling in love with So E Hyun's character despite her ghostly visitors. And Taecyeon was already virtually married to Taiwanese singer Gui Gui in the reality show "We Got Married: Global Edition." Fans approved of their courting and marriage, boosting the show's international ratings.

Now a release date has been set for his first movie, "The Night Before The Wedding" in which he plays a groom-to-be. The film, also called "Marriage Blue," will be in theaters on Nov. 21. According to the distributor, C-Nus Entertainment, November was the best time to release the film.

"Instead of the end of the year, November is the best time to attract a large audience, especially couples," said a C-Nus representative.

Filming began in April and wrapped up at the end of June only weeks before the premiere of Taeyceon's drama "Who Are You?" The singer previously appeared in the dramas "Cinderella's Sister" and "Dream High," but this will be his first film appearance. In "The Night Before The Wedding," he plays a chef named Won Chul. His character is engaged to a nail artist, played by Lee Yeon Hee, who recently appeared as Lee Seung Gi's mom in "Gu Family Book."

"The Night Before The Wedding," which stars Kim Kang Woo, Kim Hyo Jin, Joo Ji Hoon, Ma Dong Suk, Lee Jee Hoon and Go Jun Hee, is a story about four couples and the difficulties they encounter in the week before their weddings.

"You might think that the film was inspired by 'Love Actually,'" said the C-Nus representative, but the difference is that in this film all four couples are connected to each other."

The characters played by Lee Yeon Hee and Taecyeon are set to marry when a webtoon artist, played by Joo Ji Hoon, comes between them. Taecyeon and Lee Yeon Hee did have some love scenes before her character's heart wavered. During filming she spoke about those love scenes.

"I first met Taecyeon through this movie and there was an intense love scene," said Lee. "But the atmosphere was quite comfortable because we are the same age."

Hong Ji Young, who directed Joo Ji Hoon as the accommodating husband in "Naked Kitchen," will direct this comedy.
