Lee Sun-bin and Yoo Jae-myung star in ‘Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng’, 4 character posters released

According to media reports, the movie ‘Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng’ has released four character posters. The posters feature designs parodying the cover of the 'CSAT Special Lecture' workbook, which is familiar to examinees, and include phrases capturing each character's personality. This work, directed by Lee Yong-jae, will be released on the 28th.

The film is set in the question-making headquarters, which is sealed for 40 days to prepare the CSAT, a Grade 2 national secret of the Republic of Korea. It is a mission comedy about Maeng Bo-ram, a Korean language teacher from a small provincial city, who joins the question-making headquarters and struggles to create "problem-free questions" that have no typos or disputes.

Lee Sun-bin plays Maeng Bo-ram, an MZ generation Korean language teacher who dives into CSAT question-making with passion and spirit. Her poster contains the phrase, "No matter what the world is like, the CSAT must be fair." Yoo Jae-myung plays Moon Joo-yeol, the suspicious head of the Korean language question-making committee, and his poster reads, "Not being crafty, but strategic thinking!" He is depicted as a character possessing both the charisma of a powerful figure in the headquarters and a clumsy charm.

Kim Yeong-min plays Park Gyeong-tae, the head of the CSAT review committee who considers himself righteous. The poster for the character, who is called a "walking red pen," features the phrase, "There are many problems with the problems." He is a fastidious individual who does not miss even the smallest details.

Jeon Seok-ho plays Ki Jun-su, a working-level staff member of the steering committee who must successfully complete the 40-day CSAT question-making project. Ki Jun-su's poster, reflecting his proficiency in social life, contains the phrase, "Don't just work hard, you have to do it well, well!" revealing the realistic side of an office worker.
