The film 'Okay Madam 2' has confirmed its nationwide theatrical release for August 12. As the sequel to 'Okay Madam,' which drew 1.22 million viewers in 2020, it moves from the airplane in the sky from the previous installment to a luxury cruise on the blue sea as its new stage.

'Okay Madam 2' depicts the comic action that unfolds when the family of Mi-young (played by Uhm Jung-hwa), a former legendary agent, gets caught up in a cruise kidnapping incident in the middle of the ocean. Distributor CGV Pictures released 12 press stills on the 6th that offer a glimpse into the film's atmosphere.

Mi-young's family gets caught up in the cruise kidnapping incident

In the film, Mi-young lives as the owner of a twisted doughnut restaurant, leaving her glorious past career behind. By her side is her husband Seok-hwan (played by Park Sung-woong), who volunteers to act as a home protector. Seok-hwan is a character with a background as a former desk worker at the National Intelligence Service, and in this film, he shares comedic chemistry with Mi-young as they get caught up in an unexpected incident.

Dreaming of escaping her current life, Mi-young boards a cruise to attend the wedding of her friend Hyun-min (played by Bae Jung-nam). In this process, she also shows a surprising transformation by standing on a magic show stage at the suggestion of Ji-hoon (played by Ryeoun).

Mi-young's daily life, which she expected to be a happy trip, instantly turns into chaos when Anya (played by Choi Soo-young), the leader of a criminal organization, appears and the cruise is hijacked.
