The play 'The Dream of the Old Man', which will open at the LG Art Center Seoul U+ Stage on January 9 next year, begins with 'Bomhee', who runs a small art academy, meeting a hip grandmother 'Chunae', who came to see her portrait, saying she wanted to draw her own portrait. Through a warm story that encompasses all generations, this work will bring back the dreams that we all have buried in our hearts.
In the poster released, fair cuts of actors playing Chun-ae and Bom-hee attract attention. The role of Chunae will be played by Kim Young-ok, Kim Yong-rim, and Son Sook, who are called 「National Grandmother」, and the role of the director of the Academy of Fine Arts will be played by Ha Hee-ra, Lee Il-hwa, and Shin Eun-jung.
Kim Young-ok, the oldest actor among the cast, has been actively communicating with various generations, exceeding 50,000 subscribers in three months since opening the YouTube channel. In the poster, Kim Young-ok and actress Ha Hee-ra smiled brightly and expressed a lovely and cute 'Chunae'.
Kim Yong-rim, who showed her deep acting skills through this year's drama 「Fully Believed」, meets the audience with a lovely and pleasant grandmother, Chun-ae.
Lee Il-hwa, who received public love for the series of `Reply', will draw sympathy from the audience with her role of a realistic character `Bomhee who is in conflict with her stepdaughter, following her passionate performance in the drama `Intimate Ripley`.
Son Sook, the godmother of the theater industry, is an elder actor who won the Best Performance Award five times at the Baeksang Arts Awards, completing the song Chunae with a bright and bright smile, saying, "It's my first time seeing such characters and costumes."
In addition, Shin Eun-jung, who appeared as Ja-hyun in the recently popular drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" and showed a warm yet determined performance, also raises expectations for the work by lovingly looking at the student Chun-ae in the poster.
The lineup of actors on stage with them is also spectacular. Nam Kyung-eup, Park Ji-il, and Kim Seung-wook, who played the role of Bom-hee's father, Sang-il, are actors who have shown overwhelming presence in the theater and musical world.
Kang Sung-jin, Lee Pil-mo, and Yoon Hee-seok were cast as Bom-hee's sweet younger husband Chae-eun. They add emotional warmth to the play by delicately depicting the warmth of the 'family-centered husband' who struggles to balance his wife, father-in-law and daughter. In addition, actress Jin Ji-hee will join the role of Kkotnim, Chae-eun's daughter and dreamless third-year adolescent daughter, to convey fresh energy that connects emotions and understanding between generations.
Director Sung Jong-wan's sensuous humor, delicate production, and heartfelt performances by famous actors representing Korea will be added to the stage that will paint the beginning of the new year with warm laughter and emotion.
