On December 24, “The Technicians” starring Kim Woo Bin hit Korean screens along with “The Royal Tailor” which features his “The Heirs” co-star Park Shin Hye.

Both films landed within the top five of films which screened from December 26 through December 28. However, “The Technicians” which is also called “The Con Artists” came in second place grossing more than 5.2 million Korean Won in its opening weekend. “The Royal Tailor” came in at fifth place, grossing more than 1.9 million Korean Won.

“The Technicians” stars Kim Woo Bin as Ji Hyoek, a master counterfeiter and safe-cracker. Actor Ko Chang Seok (Good Doctor, The Night Watchman’s Journal) is Ji Hyeok’s sidekick Koo In. They are joined by Jong Bae, a notorious hacker, played by Lee Hyun Woo (Secretly Greatly, To The Beautiful You).

While “The Technicians” is a contemporary film, “The Royal Tailor” is set within the Joseon Dynasty period.
