Netflix's newest original movie "Seoul Vibe," which stars Yoo Ah In, Go Kyung Pyo, Park Ji Hu, Lee Kyu Hyung, and Ong Seong Wu, are far from the typical car-based action movies.
Set in the 1988 Olympic Games held in South Korea, the adventure-crime film delivered fun and thrilling energy with a kick of the "Fast & Furious" spirit.
Premiered on August 26 and helmed by Moon Hyun Sung of "The King's Note," the film brings out an 80s nostalgia in the middle of the heist.
"Seoul Vibe" follows the story of a group of car enthusiasts known as Sangedong Supreme team, who gets caught up in a special mission and transforms as undercover for a slush fund investigation of highly-influential personalities during the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
'Seoul Vibe' Recap: Dong Wook Leads the Sangedong Supreme Team
After Dong Wook (Yoo Ah In) and Joon Gi (Ong Seong Wu) successfully completed a heist transaction in Saudi Arabia, the duo returned to their homeland, South Korea.
Welcomed by their good friend Bok Nam (Lee Kyu Hyung), their reunion was cut short after the police chased Dong Wook and Joon Gi.
At their hideout, filled with Seoul's past and present memorabilia, Prosecutor Ahn Pyeong Wook (Oh Jung Se) set out an interesting deal in exchange for being undercover. He promised to wipe out all their criminal records and get them U.S visas if they agreed to be part of his investigation.
The special mission included infiltrating the group led by Chairwoman Kang In Sook (Moon So Ri) and Director Lee Hyun Kyung (Kim Sung Kyun), who are involved in the former government's secret fund.
To get in, they must stand out in the selection process by winning the car race. Winners will get incentives for the task of carrying out special deliveries for Chairman Kang.
Lo and behold, Sangedong Supreme Team gets the job with Dong Wook leading the deliveries.

Director Lee got back at them by murdering Prosecutor Ahn and torturing John (Go Kyung Pyo), who was disguised as the group's resident DJ.

Dong Wook used this as his ace to set out a special plan.
Furious by what he heard, the director agreed to team up with Dong Wook by hiring him to deliver special goods to Ms. Kang, which contains all their money can be transferred to another country.
