Chun-seob, a Korean talent agent is looking for a career in America and so he arranges a fake marriage in order to gain a Green Card. He joins a very unconventional family, acting as a stepfather to his new wife’s six children, all from various green
card marriages. One of the children hides an incredible talent as a singer and dancer
who could be the key to fame and fortune for Chun-seob. However tragedy strikes
when his wife is suddenly killed in a traffic accident. Chun-seob faces the possibility
of deportation if he does not keep up the pretence of being the children’s stepfather and so must take custody of them. But can a fake family ever be a real family?
Starring Park Yong-woo (Handphone) the film captures the never-ending success
for the K-Pop wave as it mixes comedy with music in the rising SMTown star, Ko
A-ra. Having already found success in K-dramas; No Limit and Snow Flower, actress and singer, Ko A-ra (also starring in fellow LKFF12 film Pacemaker), seems an
unstoppable talent as she breaks out the wind pipes as an up and coming singer
being managed by Park Yong-woo. The film, which is principally acted in English, is
a classic Korean melodrama that will have your wiping away the tears while singing
along to the great soundtrack.
