Prachya Pinkaew is bringing a taste of Korea to Thailand with his upcoming feature The Kick. Perhaps intrigued by his Chocolate star Jija Yanin's training in taekwondo the Ong Bak director enlisted the help of fight choreographer Master An of the Korean Tigers and the skills of stars Na Tae-joon, Kim Kyung-suk, Cho Jae-hyun and Yi Ji-won to step away from his trademark muay thai based action and into the world of taekwondo.
Mum Jokmok and Jija Yanin also star in the picture, which has just released its first teaser in Korea. Interestingly enough it appears that this first tease does not actually include any footage from the film itself but is rather a bit of a showcase reel designed to show off the skills of its stars. And, yeah, it does just that. Check it out below.Moon is a Taekwondo master running an old Taekwondo gym in Bangkok. All five members of his family are also the masters of Taekwondo in different styles: his wife Yoon in cooking style, son Taeju in dancing style, daughter Taemi in soccer style, and the youngest Typhoon can break anything with his strong forehead.
Moon wants his children to be Taekwondo coaches to take over his gym in future. However, regardless of their father's will, Taeju wants to be a famous pop singer and Taemi is only interested in her secret crush at school.
One day, Taekwon family encounters treasure robbers on the street by accident and happens to get caught into fight with them. With surprising martial art skills, TK family knocks down the robbers and takes back the stolen treasures. The head of the robbers Pom, who is notorious for many crimes, escapes alone and trembles with rage.
TK family becomes famous in public. But, They do not know that Pom is planning to get his revenge.
