So Ji Sub, Choi Dae Hoon, And Yoon Kyung Ho Are Former Elite Agents Turned Fathers In New Action Drama

So Ji Sub, Choi Dae Hoon, And Yoon Kyung Ho Are Former Elite Agents Turned Fathers In New Action Drama

The upcoming SBS drama “Manager Kim” (literal title) has unveiled its first still! On February 10, SBS unveiled its 2026 drama lineup, which includes the upcoming series “Manager Kim.” Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Manager Kim” is an action-noir drama about Manager Kim (So Ji Sub), a seemingly ordinary office worker who has been living quietly as a common citizen—until his beloved daughter goes missing. To save her, he is forced to reveal a secret that must never come to light, risking everything in the process. So Ji Sub stars as the titular Manager Kim. Though he appears to be a mild-mannered employee at a small savings bank, he is actually a former North Korean special operative—an elite, blacklisted agent whose very existence must remain hidden in the South. Choi Dae Hoon plays Sung Han Soo, a former taekwondo gold medalist who now runs a neighborhood taekwondo studio. Behind his approachable demeanor, he conceals a past life as a secret agent following his retirement from the field. Yoon Kyung Ho takes on the role of Park Jin Chul, a once-legendary force on the battlefield who was said to be beyond the nation’s control. Yet despite his formidable past, nothing makes him prouder than being known simply as “Da Bin’s dad,” revealing his softer side as a devoted father. The newly released still shows the three former agents sharing drinks at a modest neighborhood restaurant. Manager Kim appears in a simple suit befitting his life as a bank employee, Sung Han Soo wears his taekwondo uniform, and Park Jin Chul sports a military-patterned casual jacket. Though they now live as ordinary fathers, the trio is captured staring in the same direction with furrowed brows and tense expressions, sparking curiosity about what has caught their attention. “Manager Kim” is set to premiere later this year. Watch a teaser here!

The upcoming SBS drama “Wicked World” has unveiled the first still of Lim Ji Yeon and Heo Nam Jun in character! On February 10, SBS unveiled its 2026 drama lineup, which includes the upcoming series “Wicked World.” “Wicked World” is a war-like romance drama about unknown actress Shin Seo Ri (Lim Ji Yeon), who becomes possessed by the spirit of a notorious villainess from the Joseon era, and Cha Se Gye (Heo Nam Jun), a ruthless chaebol known as the “monster of capitalism.” The drama brings together director Han Tae Seob of “Stove League” and “Cheer Up” and rising writer Kang Hyun Joo. Shin Seo Ri is a struggling actress whose life takes a shocking turn when she becomes possessed by Kang Dan Sim—who, in her final moments during the Joseon era, was forced to drink poison after being accused of committing an “unforgivable crime.” As Kang Dan Sim awakens in 2026 inside Shin Seo Ri’s body, she finds herself on the set of a historical drama, thrown into a completely unfamiliar world. The newly released still captures Kang Dan Sim, now living as Shin Seo Ri, crossing paths with Cha Se Gye. Their unexpected meeting hints at the beginning of a romance bound by fate, setting the stage for a turbulent and intense relationship. “Wicked World” is scheduled to premiere in May 2026.

Kim Ji Won Takes On Corruption-Ridden Hospital As Lone Medical Antihero In New Medical Drama

The upcoming SBS drama “Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia” (literal translation) has unveiled the first still of Kim Ji Won in character! On February 10, SBS unveiled its 2026 drama lineup, which includes the upcoming Friday–Saturday series “Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia.” Based on the hit Japanese series “Doctor X,” “Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia” is a medical noir that follows “Doctor X” Gye Soo Jung (Kim Ji Won), a genius surgeon who proves what it truly means to be a doctor through pure skill alone as she operates on a corruption-ridden establishment. The drama brings together director Lee Jung Rim of “VIP,” “Revenant,” and “As You Stood By,” and rising writer Pyeon Seong Geun. Kim Ji Won stars as Gye Soo Jung, a brilliant surgeon dispatched from a physician staffing agency and infamously nicknamed the “mad dog of the operating room.” When she arrives at Guseo University Hospital—an institution deeply entrenched in corruption—she refuses to be used by a system driven by money, power, and influence. Instead, she embarks on a solitary path as a medical antihero, relying solely on her unrivaled surgical ability to challenge—and ultimately dismantle—the hospital world’s deeply rooted corruption. “Doctor X: Age of the White Mafia” is scheduled to premiere in October 2026.

Wi Ha Joon Dishes On His Character And Key Point To Watch Out For In New Drama “Siren’s Kiss”

Wi Ha Joon has talked about his role in tvN’s upcoming drama “Siren’s Kiss”! “Siren’s Kiss” is a romance thriller about a man who investigates an insurance fraud case involving people who all died after falling in love with an irresistibly captivating woman. Wi Ha Joon will star as Cha Woo Seok, the inspector relentlessly investigating the mysterious deaths, while Park Min Young will play Han Seol Ah, the woman suspected of standing at the center of the case. Cha Woo Seok is an insurance inspector on an insurance fraud investigation team. His top priority is catching criminals who try to profit from human lives, and he is a top ace who rushes into any insurance fraud case, no matter the risk. Known for his persistence in seeing cases through once he is committed, he has led the arrest rate for insurance fraud suspects for several consecutive years. This role marks a stark transformation from Wi Ha Joon’s previous character in “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon.” Commenting on his acting transformation, Wi Ha Joon shared his excitement, saying, “I’m thrilled and nervous because I’ll be able to show a character very different from my previous role.” Explaining why he chose to star in “Siren’s Kiss,” Wi Ha Joon remarked, “It’s a project filled with tension and mystery that make you eager to see the next episode, so I really wanted to be part of it.” He added, “Although Cha Woo Seok is rough, cold, and blunt, I felt that he has a very warm heart deep down, and that made me want to portray him.” On how he accurately depicted the emotional changes Cha Woo Seok undergoes after meeting Han Seol Ah, Wi Ha Joon explained, “I laid out the entire script and carefully calculated the exact points where his feelings start to change and where those feelings deepen, then tried to express those changes through subtle changes in my gaze.” The drama will also feature a variety of action scenes. Wi Ha Joon commented, “Since I practice martial arts as a hobby, I felt confident about the action scenes,” adding, “Rather than making any special preparations, I focused on conveying Cha Woo Seok’s emotions that come through in the action scenes.” Finally, Wi Ha Joon shared his thoughts on the key point of the drama, stating, “If you follow the changes in Han Seol Ah and Cha Woo Seok’s feelings toward each other, you’ll be able to immerse yourself even more deeply in the story.” “Siren’s Kiss” will premiere on March 2 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
