Choi Woo Sik and Jang Hye Jin, the talented duo from the Oscar-winning film ‘Parasite’, are set to captivate audiences once again in the upcoming film ‘Number One’.
Rekindling their acclaimed on-screen chemistry as mother and son, the pair will join Gong Seung Yeon in a story that promises to tug at your heartstrings when it releases in February 2026.
In what is bound to be a poignant tale, ‘Number One’ adapts the novel ‘You Have 328 More Chances to Eat Your Mother’s Home-Cooked Meals’ by Uwano Sora. The film follows Ha Min, played by Choi Woo Sik, whose destiny turns eerie when a number linked to his mother’s life decreases with every meal he consumes that she prepares. Jang Hye Jin skillfully brings to life the role of his mother, Eun Sil, while Gong Seung Yeon adds an enchanting layer as Ha Min’s girlfriend, Ryeo Eun.
The narrative is charged with suspense and profound emotional strokes. It explores themes of love, the inexorable march of time, and the bittersweet understanding of a child’s limited moments with a parent, leaving audiences with the haunting question: “Is your time infinite?”
The pair’s previous stint in ‘Parasite’ left an unforgettable mark, and their reunion in ‘Number One’ ignites anticipation for another round of robust performances and a gut-wrenching, poignant story.
Both Jang Hye Jin and Choi Woo Sik have shown remarkable versatility in their careers—Jang in films like ‘The World of Love’ and Choi with his broad range across genres and variety shows.
Their collaboration is expected to deliver an emotionally resonant performance that deftly wraps a relatable mother-son dynamic in a fantastical narrative. Don’t miss ‘Number One’, releasing in February!
