Comedy/ 117/ Korean/ Jan. 15

Tae-soo is a temporary lawyer struggling to find a permanent position in a corporate law firm when he is suddenly given the chance to do so under one condition: he must save the failing Dongsan Park zoo.

But with the main animals all sold off to another zoo, Tae-soo comes up with a crazy solution: to dress people up and pretend to be animals to attract visitors.

Tae-soo and four other zoo workers each take up the roles of a polar bear, a gorilla, a lion, a sloth and a giraffe and manage to deceive the visitors. And when Tae-soo, dressed as the polar bear, drinks a bottle of cola thrown by one of the visitors, the zoo becomes famous.

Can they manage to continue pulling off the stunt without raising any suspicions?

Tae-soo is played by Ahn Jae-hong, the star of the hit tvN drama series “Reply 1988.” The other zoo workers are played by Kang So-ra, Park Young-gyu, Jeon Yeo-bin and Kim Sung-oh.
