Uhm Jung-hwa's 'Okay Madam 2' Joins Summer Box Office Race, Set to Clash with 'Odyssey'

The sequel to the film 'Okay Madam,' titled 'Okay Madam 2,' has officially entered the competitive summer box office race.

Distributor CGV Pictures announced, "Okay Madam 2 is confirmed for release on Wednesday, August 12," while unveiling the launching poster and trailer.

'Okay Madam 2' is a comic action film that follows the family of Mi-young, a former legendary agent, who gets caught up in a cruise ship hijacking incident in the middle of the blue ocean during what was supposed to be a luxurious cruise vacation to escape the summer heat and daily life. Following the original cast members Uhm Jung-hwa, Park Sung-woong, Lee Sang-yoon, and Bae Jung-nam, the sequel boasts an even richer cast and scale with the addition of Park Jin-joo, Ryeoun, and Choi Soo-young.

The launching trailer released today begins with the intense action of 'Mi-young,' who subdues hijackers on an airplane, the setting of the previous film. With the phrase "This time, it's a cruise," a massive cruise ship sailing across the vast ocean appears, capturing the audience's attention. Following the charismatic image of 'Mi-young' speeding across the deck, the tension rises as fierce hand-to-hand combat breaks out between the characters.

With its release confirmed for the second week of August, 'Okay Madam 2' joins the summer box office competition, which includes 'Hope' (releasing July 15), 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' (releasing July 29), and 'Odyssey' (releasing August 5). Attention is focused on whether it can captivate audiences exhausted by the heat as the only domestic comedy film. The first installment, released in 2020, attracted 1.22 million viewers nationwide, achieving solid results relative to its production budget.
