'The Orchestra of God' Promises Heartwarming Human Drama, Penned by Writer of 'Miracle in Cell No. 7'
Get ready for a heartwarming human drama this winter! 'The Orchestra of God,' set to premiere on December 31st, boasts a solid story crafted by Kim Hwang-sung, the acclaimed writer behind the 12.8 million-viewer hit 'Miracle in Cell No. 7.'
Directed by Kim Hyung-hyub, 'The Orchestra of God' tells the story of a fake propaganda troupe formed to earn foreign currency in North Korea. The film has been building anticipation not only for its unique premise but also for its strong narrative foundation, a result of the collaboration between Chungmuro's best storyteller and a real North Korean expert.
Kim Hwang-sung, who previously touched the hearts of 12.8 million audience members with 'Miracle in Cell No. 7,' is known for his ability to depict pure paternal love and warm human affection in bleak, isolated settings, drawing tears and immense empathy from viewers of all ages.
In 'The Orchestra of God,' Kim Hwang-sung once again showcases his talents. Set against the backdrop of North Korea, one of the most closed-off and restrictive places on Earth, he masterfully portrays the desperate yet ironic situations of characters forced to act as 'fakes' for survival. His signature blend of poignant humanity and profound emotion promises another 'national human drama' following in the footsteps of 'Miracle in Cell No. 7.'
Director Kim Hyung-hyub emphasized the story's power at a production presentation, stating, "What writer Kim Hwang-sung focused on most was not simple laughter, but the 'people' and 'humanism' flowing within it." He added, "We hope this story, based on real-life motifs, brings warm comfort and healing to the audience."
Adding to the film's credibility, Baek Kyung-yoon, a veteran screenwriter and consultant known for his work on North Korea-related projects like the 'Confidential Assignment' series, 'Hunt,' 'Escape from Mogadishu,' '6/45,' and the drama 'Crash Landing on You,' joined as a script adapter and consultant. He even personally coached the actors, including Park Si-hoo and Jung Jin-woon, on North Korean dialects to maximize immersion.
'The Orchestra of God,' combining the extraordinary subject of a 'fake propaganda troupe' with writer Kim Hwang-sung's profound resonance, is set to deliver a miraculous emotional experience to audiences nationwide on December 31st, the last day of 2025.
Netizens are expressing high anticipation for Kim Hwang-sung's return after 'Miracle in Cell No. 7,' hoping for another hit. Comments include, "I'm really looking forward to it!", "I wonder what kind of movie this will be?", and "This is truly a movie poster I'm waiting for!" showing their excitement and curiosity about the film.
