It is the story of a former professional boxer now reduced to menial chores in a gym after an unsuccessful career.
Lee Hyeri took lessons in janggu, the hourglass-shaped Korean drum, for two months to prepare for the film.
"When I first started, even hitting the higher-pitched side was hard", she recalls. "You will be able to see fun-filled scenes of rhythmic janggu-playing in the film".
"My Punch-Drunk Boxer" premiered at this year's Jeonju International Film Festival in May.
