'First Ride' Cast Reveals Their Top 5 Uncontrollable Laugh Points!
The highly anticipated comedy film 'First Ride', set to premiere on October 29th, has unveiled insider details as its cast shares their personal picks for the most hilarious moments in the movie.
'First Ride' follows the comedic adventures of five lifelong friends – Tae-jeong (Kang Ha-neul), Do-jin (Kim Young-kwang), Yeon-min (Cha Eun-woo), Geum-bok (Kang Young-seok), and Ok-sim (Han Sun-hwa) – as they embark on their first-ever overseas trip together.
Stars Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Cha Eun-woo, Kang Young-seok, and Han Sun-hwa have each highlighted specific scenes that are guaranteed to have audiences roaring with laughter. The newly released footage teases these 'can't-hold-back-the-laughs' moments, promising an even more enjoyable experience for those who watch with this inside knowledge.
Kang Ha-neul, playing the 'go-getter' Tae-jeong, humorously noted how his intelligent role, despite his own appearance, adds to the comedy. "I have to play the intelligent role because of how I look, which makes it funny when it doesn't quite fit," he quipped, hinting at his character's unexpected comedic charm.
Kim Young-kwang, embodying the carefree Do-jin, pinpointed the "chemistry among friends" as the ultimate highlight. He shared that the strong bond between the actors on set translated into their performances, promising that each character will deliver significant laughs.
Kang Young-seok, as the 'sleepyhead' Geum-bok, praised the supporting cast, including Ko Kyu-pil, emphasizing that the humor isn't limited to the main actors but is a collective effort. He described the entire cast's comedic timing as a key selling point.
Cha Eun-woo, portraying the handsome Yeon-min, expressed his excitement to collaborate with director Nam Dae-jung again after their previous work 'Love Reset'. "The director offered many fun suggestions on set, and it was a joyful experience," he recalled, highlighting the positive filming environment.
Lastly, Han Sun-hwa, who plays the straightforward Ok-sim, declared that the unique combination of the five actors, creating a dynamic never seen before, is the film's biggest 'laugh button'. The anticipation is high for this comedic ensemble, promising a delightful mix of individual comedic strengths.
Adding another layer of fun, a post-credit scene features Kang Ha-neul sharing a personal travel anecdote. He recounted a memorable, almost forced, backpacking trip with a friend during his university days, similar to the unforgettable journeys depicted in 'First Ride'. This real-life parallel to his character Tae-jeong suggests that Kang Ha-neul will bring an unpredictable and hilarious travel experience to the screen.
Kang Ha-neul is widely recognized for his versatility, seamlessly transitioning between dramatic roles and heartwarming romantic comedies. Beyond his acting prowess, he has also made a name for himself in musical theater, showcasing his diverse talents. His genuine on-screen persona and reliable performances have earned him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim across various genres.
