Production Begins on December 7th, to Be Released in the First Half of 2016
Trick depicts how a former star TV producer Seok-jin (LEE Jung-jin) manipulates a documentary to rise back to the throne. Seok-jin lost his job at an investigative news show for making a wrong news report. He has finally returned to his place in several years but with a price. He is to make a documentary featuring a terminally ill patient Do-joon (KIM Tae-hun) and his wife Young-ae (KANG Ye-won), and get a high viewer rating. The documentary hits a record high viewer rating as soon as it begins, but he is put in trouble again when Do-joon refuses further shooting as he gets sicker. Finally Seok-jin offers Young-ae to shoot him at deathbed.
LEE Jung-jin is finally back to screen after
