Hollywood breakout actor Lee, who most recently starred in a remake of 1960s classic “The Magnificent Seven,” returns as businessman Jin, whose company is mired in an expansive fraud case. Gang, who appeared in local blockbuster “A Violent Prosecutor” earlier this year, plays Kim Jae-myung, the lead investigator on the case.
Acting as the mastermind behind the fraud and Jin’s right-hand man is actor and model Kim Woo-bin, who is returning to the big screen for the first time since starring in international hit drama series “Uncontrollably Fond” earlier this year.
Set in Korea and the Philippines, “Master” is scheduled to open in local theaters in December.
