Kim Woo Bin has found a role that fits him perfectly in The Unofficial Martial Arts Officer. His character, Lee Jung Do, is both funny and sincere, and it's set to become another iconic role for him.

The Netflix film was released on the 13th and tells the story of Lee Jung Do, a martial artist who holds black belts in Taekwondo, Judo, and Kendo. He starts working with probation officer Kim Sun Min to monitor people wearing electronic ankle bracelets. Together, they aim to prevent crimes by watching these individuals 24/7.

The movie brings attention to the little-known job of a "Martial Arts Officer," a person who works with a probation officer to keep people with electronic bracelets in check. If someone breaks the rules, the Martial Arts Officer can step in physically to stop them.

The film dives into the real dangers and challenges of this job, showing a new type of hero in society.

In the movie, Lee Jung Do starts off as a carefree young man who enjoys life. He accidentally saves a Martial Arts Officer in trouble and takes over the role while the officer recovers. As time goes on, he begins to take the job seriously and understands its importance.

Kim Woo Bin gained 8kg for the role and easily makes the character his own. In the first part of the movie, he charms viewers with his quirky humor, but later, he shows intense action skills that leave a lasting impression. His chemistry with Kim Sung Kyun, who plays the probation officer, adds warmth and humor to the film.

As the movie progresses, Lee Jung Do’s appearance changes along with his attitude. He goes from having blonde hair to a clean-cut look, showing his growth as a person. Kim Woo Bin does a great job of balancing the funny and action-packed sides of his character, making Lee Jung Do a memorable hero.

The Unofficial Martial Arts Officer hit 8.3 million views just three days after its release and topped Netflix's Global Top 10 Films (Non-English) list. It also made the Top 10 in 58 countries, including South Korea, Brazil, Japan, and Germany.
