The comedy film "First Ride," starring Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, and Cha Eun-woo, has been receiving explosive responses since its release. In this article, we'll provide an easy-to-understand overview of the film, including the availability of cookie videos, actual reviews, the first-week stage greeting schedule, and even information on its OTT release.

1. Summary of the movie "First Ride"

The movie <First Ride>, which was released on Culture Day, October 29th, is the new work of director Nam Dae-jung, who directed <The Great Wish> and <30 Days>.

 

It is a 'disarming comedy' that contains both comedy and emotion, and the lead actors are a reliable lineup of actors including Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Cha Eun-woo, Kang Young-seok, and Han Sun-hwa.

 

The film depicts the friendship and growth that unfolds between four friends who have been friends for 20 years as they go on their first trip abroad.
Especially in the latter half, there are many reviews that say, “I laughed and then cried,” as unexpected emotional lines explode.
Although Cha Eun-woo's screen time is not large, he plays an important key role in the story, so fans are very interested.

2. First Ride Cookie Video Available!

To cut to the chase, there is one cookie video.
After the ending credits roll, a short scene concludes the story of the Four Musketeers.

 

It's not a story with a huge twist, but it's an emotional cookie that leaves a warm aftertaste, so I definitely recommend watching it.
Among fans who watched the movie, there were many reviews saying, “After watching Cookie, I feel like it’s really complete.”

3. Summary of the review: "I laughed until I burst into tears."

If we look at the previews and reviews from the first day of release, the audience response is generally positive.

 

 

In the beginning, the comedy is mainly slapstick and puns, so it's easy to laugh out loud.

From the middle part onwards, the relationship between friends changes and hidden secrets are revealed, bringing a gentle feeling of emotion.

 

There was also a review that said, “It might be a bit stuffy for extreme T, but it’s a perfect movie for extreme F.”

There are many responses saying that the actors' chemistry was really good.

In particular, Kang Ha-neul's acting skills shone through, and Han Sun-hwa was praised for her comedic role.
Most of the reactions were, “A comedy with a human touch that is rare these days,” and “I came out feeling healed.”
