Kim Jae-chul Transforms into a 12-Year Veteran Prison Guard in 'Sculpture City,' Set to Elevate Suspense

Actor Kim Jae-chul has taken on a transformative role as a seasoned prison guard with 12 years of experience.

In the recently released Disney+ original series 'Sculpture City,' which premiered on the 5th, Kim Jae-chul captivated viewers with his stable yet distinctive acting, adding significant tension to the narrative.

'Sculpture City' is an action drama that follows Tae-joong (Ji Chang-wook), an ordinary man who is unjustly caught up in a heinous crime and sent to prison. As he realizes that everything was meticulously planned by Yo-han (Doh Kyung-soo), Tae-joong embarks on a path of revenge.

Kim Jae-chul portrays Yang Cheol-hwan, a prison guard with a decade of experience and a neutral pursuer tasked with hunting down the escaped Tae-joong. This role is expected to amplify the series' intrigue. Yang Cheol-hwan initially believes that people, especially inmates, rarely change. However, after encountering Tae-joong, he begins to see him as different from other prisoners, hinting at a complex character development driven by growing curiosity.

Kim Jae-chul previously showcased his charm as the warm-hearted school nurse Hong Tae-oh in the drama 'Love on a Single-Plank Bridge,' which concluded last year. He has consistently built his unique acting territory through diverse genres, playing the villainous Manager Jin in the film 'The Land of Happiness' and Park Ji-yong, whose family suffers from a generational curse, in the movie 'Exhuma.'

Following his recent appearance as Eunseong Group Chairman Dae-ho in the tvN drama 'Dear X,' which began airing on the 3rd, anticipation is high for Kim Jae-chul's next distinctive performance in 'Sculpture City.' The series is exclusively available on Disney+, with two episodes released every Wednesday, totaling 12 episodes for the audience.

Netizens are expressing high anticipation, commenting things like, "Actor Kim Jae-chul as a prison guard? I'm already excited!" and "With Ji Chang-wook x Doh Kyung-soo's action and Kim Jae-chul's presence, I have to watch 'Sculpture City' live." Many are impressed by his versatility in taking on diverse roles.
