MBC will broadcast the drama 'Casino' (directed by Kang Yoon-sung), which drew attention as a global OTT platform Disney+ original series on July 4th (Friday) at 10 p.m., for the first time on TV as 'MBC Special Series'.
Drama 'Casino' is a crime action film about the last game thrown by the legend of the Philippine Kazino world 'Casino' (Choi Min-sik) after the fall and the Korean desk detective 'Oh Seung-hoon' (Son Seok-gu).
This is the first drama series directed by Kang Yoon-sung in the movie `The Outlaws'Long Live the King, and actor Choi Min-sik's return to the drama for the first time in 26 years has drawn attention.
In the preview video released ahead of the first broadcast, the shocking opening of Cha Moo-sik's arrest as a suspect in a murder case at a large casino in the Philippines attracts attention. Then, from his childhood at daycare centers, his days at Daejeon English Academy, and the expansion of the illegal casino business, the turbulent life of ignorance unfolds at a speed like a flashback, increasing his sense of immersion.
In particular, the Philippines' local all-location, the composition of multinational characters mixed with Korean, English, and Tagalog, and heavy narratives that draw from the bottom to the peak of life provide a unique sense of reality and immersion.
MBC said that `drama 'casino' is an unrivaled work that crosses the boundaries of crime, thriller, and black comedy.' `You will be able to feel the congestion of 'a man who had to risk everything' through the character Cha Moo-sik.'
