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.

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.

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.
