Synopsis
After enjoying much success at the box office with King And The Clown and receiving critical acclaim for Radio Star, Choongmuro's ingenious writer-director duo Choi Seok-hwan and Lee Joon-ik collaborate for the fourth time in the feel-good movie The Happy Life. The film offers a delightful escapism from the monotonous daily routines of life by telling an inspiring story that revolves around an amateur rock band comprised primarily of middle-aged men. A star-studded gathering that includes the award-winning Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser), Jeong Jin-yeong (King And The Clown), Kim Sang-ho (Le Grand Chef), and Korea's new heartthrob Jang Geun-seok (Do-Re-Mi-Pa-Sol-Ra-Si-Do), The Happy Life also features guest appearances by contemporary rock groups like Trans Fixtion and No Brain, as well as plenty of memorable musical performances by cast members under the guidance of two of Korea's most reputable musical directors Lee Byung-hoon (When Romance Meets Destiny) and Bang Joon-seok (Radio Star).
After suffering a string of failures at qualifying for the national college singing competition, rock band Hwal Hwa San disbands. Twenty years later, all of the band members are in their middle age, and with the exception of Gi Young, who remains a good-for-nothing bum, everyone has moved on with their lives. Sung Wook now works night and day trying to support his son's education while Hyuk Soo joins the new breed of what's widely known in Korean society as "wild geese fathers" (Korean fathers who send their wives and young children overseas for the purpose of better education, while supporting them from Korea). But who knew an unexpected reunion at a funeral would re-ignite the fiery desires of yesteryear? With Gi Young as the lead guitarist, Sung Wook as the bassist, Hyuk Soo as the drummer, and new member Hyun Joon as the vocalist, Hwal Hwa San is back on the saddle! But can these men find happiness in the face of all the difficult challenges heading their way?
