Production has begun on the Korean period comedy piece, "Detective K: The Laborer's Daughter." The film is a sequel to the 2011 hit, "Detective K: Secret of the Virtuous Widow."
The sequel reunites director Kim Sok-yun with actors Kim Myeong-min and Oh-Dal-su, who play the leads as a bumbling pair of genius detectives.
"The Laborer's Daughter" is slated to screen in February of 2015 during the Lunar New Year holiday.
The first movie in the series sold over four-million tickets, becoming the fourth-highest grossing film in South Korea for 2011.
The "Detective K" series has parallels with the Chinese historic crime drama, "Detective Dee," which was directed by Tsui Hark and loosely based on literary figures. "Detective K," however, is purely fiction.
