Production company JK Film (run by [[CEO]]-director [[Yoon Je-kyoon]]) filed a copyright lawsuit against director [[Lee Myung-se]], who dropped out of the project in April 2012 after 11 filming sessions in Korea and Thailand. JK Film claims Lee secretly registered himself as the film's copyright holder through the Korea Copyright Commission website after quitting the project. The legal battle was sparked after JK Film had a series of conflicts with Lee over the concept of the upcoming blockbuster. Cineastes and critics had been excited about the rare collaboration between Lee and Yoon ― two heavyweight film figures who are very different from each other. Yoon is known for his commercial blockbusters ''[[Tidal Wave (film)|Haeundae]]'' (2009) and ''[[Sector 7 (film)|Sector 7]]'' (2011), while Lee is famous for his aesthetically conscious [[mise-en-scene]] and style shown in ''[[Duelist (film)|Duelist]]'' (2005) and ''[[M (2007 film)|M]]'' (2007). The two, however, could not overcome their differences in approach. According to JK Film, Lee refused to follow the original script, and completely ignored every cinematic and stylistic request from the producer: "The film was going to be an action comedy with realistic characters, something like the [[James Bond in film|James Bond]] series. But director Lee got rid of entire script lines and shot each scene in a rather serene and lyrical way. And the characters were very much like the ones you'd expect to see in a fantasy-cartoon movie. They weren't what we initially had in mind as its producers." JK Film said the shooting of ''Mister K'' will restart in mid-May, with directing reins taken up by rookie filmmaker Lee Seung-joon (he was assistant director for two of JK Film's blockbusters ''[[Tidal Wave (film)|Haeundae]]'' and ''[[Quick (2011 film)|Quick]]'').<ref>{{cite web|last=Lee|first=Claire|title=JK Film sues director over copyright|url=http://www.koreaherald.com/entertainment/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20120508001137|publisher=[[The Korea Herald]]|date=8 May 2012}}</ref>

Chul-soo is the greatest secret agent in South Korea, but at home he is a loving husband who's intimidated by his flight attendant wife Young-hee, who thinks her husband is a normal office worker.[3]

One day, Chul-soo tells his wife that he'll be going to Busan for business, but actually travels with his department head Jin to Bangkok, Thailand to carry out a top secret operation with national implications. While in Bangkok, Chul-soo spots his wife Young-hee (who is supposed to be in Korea) with a good-looking man named Ryan. Chul-soo has his hands full with his mission, but also decides to follow his wife...

[edit] Controversy

Production company JK Film (run by CEO-director Yoon Je-kyoon) filed a copyright lawsuit against director Lee Myung-se, claiming Lee had "illegally and secretly registered" himself as the film's copyright holder through the Korea Copyright Commission website after he quit the project in April 2012. The legal battle was sparked after JK Film had a series of conflicts with Lee over the concept of the upcoming blockbuster. Cineastes and critics had been excited about the rare collaboration between Lee and Yoon ― two heavyweight film figures who are very different from each other. Yoon is known for his commercial blockbusters Haeundae (2009) and Sector 7 (2011), while Lee is famous for his aesthetically conscious mise-en-scene and style shown in Duelist (2005) and M (2007). However, the producers and Lee had several artistic and creative differences during the early days of shooting in South Korea and Thailand. JK Film alleged that Lee had made significant deviations from the script and made changes that were no longer appropriate to an action adventure film, that Lee refused to follow the original script, and completely ignored every cinematic and stylistic request from the producer: "The film was going to be an action comedy with realistic characters, something like the James Bond series. But director Lee got rid of entire script lines and shot each scene in a rather serene and lyrical way. And the characters were very much like the ones you'd expect to see in a fantasy-cartoon movie. They weren't what we initially had in mind as its producers." JK Film said the shooting of Mister K will restart in mid-May, and Lee will be replaced by rookie filmmaker Lee Seung-joon (he was assistant director for two of JK Film's blockbusters Haeundae and Quick).[4][5]

Director Lee Myung-se and his company, Production M, are unavailable for comment.
