The film ‘Reawaken Man: The Red’, scheduled for release on the 30th, tells the story of Seok-hwan, a job seeker who gains the special ability to come back to life 72 hours after dying. Director Baik Jong-yul takes the helm, and actor Koo Kyo Hwan delivers a passionate performance as the protagonist Seok-hwan. Additionally, Shin Seung-ho, Kang Ki-young, Kim Si-a, and Kim Sung-ryoung appear, increasing the completeness of the drama.

In the work, Seok-hwan is depicted as a realistic character who, despite possessing superhuman abilities, still worries about finding employment. His appearance as he prepares for mock interviews with his younger sister Ye-rin despite facing consecutive failures in actual interviews provides both laughter and empathy to the audience. In particular, his personality, which does not lose composure even amidst changes where his physical abilities are strengthened and his hair turns red as he revives, catches the eye.

Seok-hwan's affectionate feelings toward his family also add to the character's charm. His desire to treat his family to ribeye steak with his first paycheck and to help with his sister's tuition shows his will to protect ordinary daily life. Even amidst the pursuit by Black, who possesses the ability to manipulate the minds of others, Seok-hwan's appearance as he argues with his family over the amount of water for ramen reveals that he is not a grand hero, but a friendly older brother around us.
