Han Suk-kyu's Contrasting Dynamics with Bae Hyun-sung & Lee Reu Highlighted in 'The President's Project'

tvN's upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama, 'The President's Project,' is set to introduce a compelling narrative centered around its protagonist, Shin Sajang (played by Han Suk-kyu).

The drama follows Shin Sajang, a former legendary negotiator with a mysterious past who now runs a chicken restaurant. He navigates complex cases by employing both unconventional and lawful methods to deliver justice, embodying the essence of a conflict resolution hero.

Ahead of its premiere on September 15th, the series is previewing the starkly different relationships Shin Sajang will have with his two employees: Jo Philip (Bae Hyun-sung), a meticulous, by-the-book elite judge who is often flustered by Shin Sajang's outbursts at the chicken shop, and Lee Si-on (Lee Reu), a reliable delivery person who shares a warm rapport with her boss.

Jo Philip's strict adherence to the law clashes frequently with Shin Sajang's more unorthodox problem-solving techniques, promising a dynamic of friction and unexpected chemistry. In contrast, Lee Si-on acts as a steadfast partner, sharing laughter and offering support, creating a heartwarming dynamic with Shin Sajang.

The released stills visually capture these contrasting relationships. Images of a frustrated Jo Philip alongside a resolute Shin Sajang create tension, hinting at Jo Philip's challenging adjustment period. Meanwhile, Shin Sajang and Lee Si-on sharing a moment, looking at a phone with smiles, evoke a comforting, almost father-daughter-like warmth.

The spatial arrangement in the photos—Jo Philip often on the periphery and Lee Si-on close to Shin Sajang—further suggests their differing levels of emotional closeness. With Shin Sajang's reprimands directed at Jo Philip and his trust and affection reserved for Lee Si-on, viewers can anticipate a unique blend of tension and warmth as these three characters interact.

Han Suk-kyu is a veteran actor renowned for his powerful performances in hit dramas like 'Tree With Deep Roots' and the 'Dr. Romantic' series. He is expected to deliver another iconic character as the charismatic chicken restaurant owner in this new role. His versatile acting prowess, demonstrated across film and television, is anticipated to shine once again.
