"The character I play, Jin-bong, is someone who has to survive in his company, at home and even in the Amazon.
It's a story about searching for archery masters in the Amazon," Ryu said in a press conference for the film on Tuesday. "I focused on acting in a way that people could empathize with and root for. I aimed to hit the comedic points through the clashing happenings.
" Jin-bong is a former national team archer and now an office worker whose company is restructuring. He is headed to Boledor, a fictional country near the Amazon, on business, when he crash-lands due to an unexpected accident. After surviving, he arrives in the Amazon, where he meets Bbang-sik (Jin Sun-kyu), a Korean interpreter, and three Amazon tribespeople with natural talent in archery.
He then decides to train them to be the national archery team of Boledor. Ryu is widely known as a master of comedy acting, having played leading roles in "Extreme Job" (2019) , which tops the country’s box office history for comedy films with over 16 million viewers, and "Miracle in Cell No. 7" (2013) , which ranks second.
The 53-year-old actor revealed he practiced archery extensively .
