Moon So-ri, Park Byung-eun, Baek Hyun-jin to Star in JTBC's New Drama 'Apartment' as Residents
Actors Moon So-ri, Park Byung-eun, and Baek Hyun-jin have been confirmed to star in JTBC's new drama 'Apartment' (tentative title), coming together as 'residents'.
'Apartment' is a drama that depicts the stories surrounding ill-gotten money related to an apartment complex. Moon So-ri, Park Byung-eun, and Baek Hyun-jin are expected to lead the narrative, primarily through the apartment residents' representative council.
Moon So-ri, who previously left a deep impression as Ae-soon in the drama 'The Good Bad Mother' (also known as 'Ask Us Anything' for its Korean title), will take on the role of Jang Sook-jin, a notorious busybody and chatterbox in 'Apartment,' portraying a relatable yet impactful character.
Park Byung-eun will play Lee Choong-won, the CEO of True Value Apartment construction company and a resident living in the penthouse. He is set to create tension in the drama by opposing the protagonist Park Hae-gang (played by Ji Sung). Following his impressive villainous roles in films like 'Assassination,' anticipation is high for his performance in this new project.
Baek Hyun-jin joins the cast as Lee Kang-won, the chairman of the residents' representative council. Having recently gained significant popularity for his realistic portrayal of 'Manager Baek' in the Coupang Play original entertainment show 'The Office Season 2,' he hints at another transformation as he delves into a character deeply entangled with the apartment's corruption.
'Apartment' tells the story of a former gangster who uncovers corruption within an apartment complex. Ji Sung, Ha Yoon-kyung, and Kim Taek are also in positive discussions to join the cast.
Upon the announcement of the cast for 'Apartment,' netizens expressed strong reactions, with comments like 'I trust and will watch Moon So-ri!', 'Is Park Byung-eun a villain specialist? I'm looking forward to it,' and 'Manager Baek Hyun-jin from the show, now in a drama! Totally excited.' The lineup alone has already generated significant buzz.
