About Killing Romance Movie:
Killing Romance (Korean: 킬링 로맨스; Killing Lomaenseu) is a South Korean musical romantic comedy film directed by Lee Won-suk, starring Lee Hanee, Lee Sun-kyun, and Gong Myung.
Filmed early during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the director and crew suffered difficulties securing shooting locations, including rewriting one scene to take place in a jjimjilbang instead of on a yacht, as planned.
The film was released in South Korea on April 14, 2023. In spite of a poor rating and initial unfavorable reviews, the film picked up traction on Twitter and has since gained cult status in Korea, with some moviegoers traveling hours by bus to see the movie and others on their 18th or 20th viewing. Internationally, the film has received largely positive reviews.
