The original series 'Gwangjang', which will be released simultaneously around the world on June 6, is expected to show the essence of Korean-style noir action as well as actor So Ji-sub's return.
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, 'Gwangjang' is a story about Nam Ki-jun (played by So Ji-seop), who left the world of Gwangjang on his own in the past, returning for revenge 11 years after the death of his younger brother. The blood-smelling laws of the cold world, the clash of violence and power, and the desperate revenge that begins on the rubble of a broken relationship differ from the existing action.
So Ji-seop will make his comeback in the action genre about 12 years after the movie 'Worker'. He said "The standard is strong enough to be beaten by no one, but there is an indelible wound in it. I hope the desperation reaches the audience." It is a three-dimensional character that shows physical action and emotional acting at the same time, signaling a strong impression.
Actors Heo Jun-ho, Cha Seung-won, Lee Bum-soo, Cho Han-chul, Lee Joon-hyuk, Gong Myung, Choo Young-woo, and Ahn Gil-gang will all participate to increase the immersion of the play. In particular, Cha Seung-won played the role of Cha Young-do, a hidden heavyweight in the square world, heralding an intense confrontation with So Ji-seop. Gong Myung is Bongsan's successor Koo Jun-mo, and Lee Joon-hyuk plays a key role in the narrative of revenge, adding to the tension unique to Noir.
The main poster released on the 22nd shows So Ji-seop staring at the front with his fist clenched with blood on his hand and an intense copy of "If you start, you have to die to end it." In the trailer, Nam Ki-jun's movement to shoot multiple flares was depicted urgently from the scene of visiting his younger brother's funeral home. Baseball bat and bare-bodied action intersect, "'If you've done something, you have to pay for itHeo Jun-ho's lines suggest the rules of this world.
The relationship between the characters, who are entangled around Nam Ki-jun in the play, is also a point to watch. The tight conflict structure they will create is raising expectations, including the resonance of smiling creepy with a bloodied face, Chu Young-woo, who reveals his ambition in a cold calculation, An Gil-gang, a head full of anger, Cho Han-chul, a cold strategist, and Cha Seung-won, who sensed the existence of Nam Ki-jun, who returned.
The audience's response is already hot. "So Ji-seop's eyes alone complete noir","The webtoon is torn apart", Expectations are pouring into the lineup, such as "'Lee Jun-hyuk is crazy' and "'Even the color of this line-up, the angle to watch it right away'.
Netflix 'Plaza' will be released on June 6 at 4 p.m. with a total of 11 episodes.
