Seoul: A cornucopia of Korean films are set to hit local theaters in September as films rush to bank in on the Chuseok holiday and exceed the big-screen success of Hollywood hits "The Odyssey" and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day."

According to Yonhap News Agency, the slate is full and diverse, with six major Korean films set to open throughout September, ranging from the Korean remake of the Hollywood hit "The Intern" (2016) to modern auteur Lee Chang-dong's first feature in eight years. Kicking off the roll is director Lee Ji-won's poignant family drama "Portrait of a Family," set for release Wednesday. Starring Ryu Seung-ryong, Ha Ji-won, and Kim Si-a, the film portrays the solidarity that reunites a fractured household following an unexpected incident.

Ryu and Ha appear as a former baseball star and former top actress couple, whose seemingly happy marriage collapses after the sudden appearance of the former's extramarital daughter Dong-ju, played by Kim. On Sept. 16, the Korean remake of "The Intern" that starred Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway will hit the theaters, with veteran actor Choi Min-sik and Han So-hee taking their place.

While the film takes its premise from the original work, director Kim Do-young said the remake version blends in Korean elements, such as generational clashes and Korean office culture, and renders the two characters as realistic figures firmly rooted to the ground. Three Korean films are set to square off on Sept. 23, just a day ahead of the four-day Chuseok holiday: "Possible Love," "The Assassin(s)" and "Tazza: Song of Beelzebub."

Anticipations are high for "Possible Love," featuring a star-studded cast of Jeon Do-yeon, Sul Kyung-gu, Cho Yeo-jeong, and Zo In-sung, which has been selected as the Korean Film Council's pick to represent South Korea at the Oscars.
