Cha Tae Hyun and Uhm Ji Won Lead Netflix Film ‘Two Cops and Five Kids’

Netflix has confirmed production of Two Cops and Five Kids, a new Korean comedy film led by Cha Tae Hyun and Uhm Ji Won. The project brings the two actors together on screen for the first time as a married couple whose already busy family life is upended by an unexpected operation.

The film centers on Dong Sik, a violent-crimes detective who is preparing for a promotion examination while raising five children. His carefully strained routine becomes even more complicated when his wife, Kyung Ah, leaves home for what appears to be a trip and he is suddenly responsible for the household on his own.

A detective faces an impossible schedule

Dong Sik’s challenge is not framed as a simple domestic detour. Between school-age children, work responsibilities and the pressure of a career milestone, he must keep several worlds moving at once. The premise places the rhythms of a large family alongside the urgency of police work, creating room for comedy without losing the demands that shape the characters’ decisions.

Cha Tae Hyun takes on the role of Dong Sik, a detective accustomed to confronting difficult cases but less prepared for the logistics of managing five young lives alone. The contrast is likely to be central to the film: professional experience may help him read a crime scene, yet it does not automatically solve the practical surprises waiting at home.

The film’s premise also leaves room for the children to shape the action. A household of five has its own routines, rivalries and changing needs, so everyday family moments can become obstacles or unexpected advantages when Dong Sik is called back to work. That balance gives the story a broad comic framework while keeping its police setting active.

The story takes another turn when the family is drawn into an investigation targeting a criminal organization. What begins as an attempt to keep daily life under control develops into a broader case, connecting Dong Sik’s professional duties with the people closest to him.

Uhm Ji Won plays a former officer seeking a return

Uhm Ji Won will play Kyung Ah, Dong Sik’s wife and a former police officer. After spending a decade focused largely on raising the couple’s children, she accepts an opportunity to take part in a covert National Intelligence Service mission. The assignment offers a path back toward police work while setting the story’s two leads on separate but intersecting tracks.

Kyung Ah’s role gives the film a second perspective on family and career. Her departure is not merely a plot device for Dong Sik’s solo parenting predicament; it reflects her own wish to resume a profession that had been set aside. As the undercover mission develops, the couple’s decisions are expected to influence both the investigation and their household.

The title’s five children are Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and April, played by Do Young Seo, Kim Na Eun, Jung Han Sol, Sim Ji An and Kim Ra Hee. Their presence makes the family an active part of the premise rather than background detail, especially once the criminal case reaches beyond the adults’ work lives.

A new pairing for a family action comedy

With Cha Tae Hyun and Uhm Ji Won cast as the parents at the heart of the story, Two Cops and Five Kids is positioned as a family-centered crime comedy. The combination of promotion pressure, undercover work and a five-child household sets up a film in which personal responsibilities and a larger police operation repeatedly collide.

The confirmed cast gives the project a clear ensemble structure: the parents’ professional choices can drive the investigation, while the children’s lives anchor the film’s domestic stakes. The result is designed less as a conventional procedural than as a story where the same family must respond to both small-scale chaos and a much larger problem.

No release date has been announced. For now, the confirmed lineup establishes a new on-screen partnership and introduces a premise built around two officers trying to find room for their careers, their family and an investigation that refuses to stay outside the front door.
