[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Uhm Jung-hwa’s signature comic action is back. “Okay Madam 2,” the sequel to “Okay Madam,” which was a box office hit in the summer of 2020, has confirmed its release date for August 12 and unveiled its launch poster and trailer.

“Okay Madam 2” is a comedy-action film about Mi-young (Um Jung-hwa), a former legendary agent, and her family who get caught up in a kidnapping incident while on a luxury cruise. While the first film was set on an airplane, this installment takes place on a cruise ship on the vast ocean, promising an even larger scale and more intense action.
The newly released launch poster depicts Mi-young—who had been living an ordinary life as the owner of a twisted doughnut shop—once again finding herself at the center of the action. Led by Um Jung-hwa, whose presence is truly commanding, the cast reunites to include Park Sung-woong as her husband Seok-hwan, Lee Sang-yoon as her former colleague Cheol-seung, and Bae Jeong-nam as Hyun-min, the groom at the cruise wedding. Joining them are new cast members Park Jin-joo as Seon-ah, the cruise ship’s CEO; Ryu-woon as Ji-hoon, a magician; and Choi Soo-young as Anya, the leader of a criminal organization, completing an even richer cast lineup.
The trailer, released alongside the stills, opens with a scene from the previous film in which Mi-young subdues an airplane hijacker, signaling that the sequel’s setting has shifted to a cruise ship. Accompanied by the tagline “This time, it’s a cruise ship,” a massive cruise ship appears on screen, and the trailer quickly cuts to Mi-young dashing across the deck, followed by shootouts, explosions, and high-altitude stunts—promising thrilling visuals.
The comedic chemistry remains as strong as ever. When Seon-ah, the cruise ship’s representative, asks, “Who kidnapped you and brought you here?” the bound Seok-hwan retorts, “Kidnapped?”—a moment that captures the film’s signature lighthearted atmosphere. Adding to the tension, the villain Anya declares, “Shall we begin?” foreshadowing a plot that seamlessly blends action and comedy.
“Okay Madam 2” features the return of the original cast—Um Jung-hwa, Park Sung-woong, Lee Sang-yoon, and Bae Jeong-nam—along with new additions Park Jin-ju, Ryu Woon, and Choi Soo-young. With an even larger scale and a blend of comedy and action, the film is set to take the box office by storm this summer.
