An upcoming film starring Korean actor Ryoo Seung-bum and actress Lee Yo-won will make its way to local moviegoers in two months.

The movie’s distribution company CJ Entertainment told the magazine Thursday that the opening date for Ryoo and Lee's feature titled, "Perfect Number," is set to October 18.

In a press release Thursday, Ryoo expressed his expectations about "Perfect Number" saying, "I figured out the true meaning of being in the thirties through this film."

“Perfect Number,” which is the big screen adaption of famous Japanese comic “Suspect X,” centers around a genius mathematics professor Suk-go [played by Ryoo] who plans the perfect alibi to cover a murder which was done by his secret lover Hwa-sun [played by Lee].

Helmed by actress-turned-director Bang Eun-jin of “Princess Aurora” (2005), actor Cho Jin-woong will also star in the picture as the character named Min-bum, the detective that is in charge of the murder case.
