The original TVing series 'Substitute Scholastic Ability' (directed by Choi Soo-jung and directed by Park So-yeon) is a fabrication crime thriller that takes place when a special scholarship student from the first-class low-income class of a famous private high school watches the surrogate ability of a blackmailer who holds his weakness. Children who have been put on the exam that do not fall behind in their lives only after completing the CSAT safely. In order to get 'score' that will determine his future, he thrillingly conducts a survival college entrance exam war full of betrayal and tricks. It is expected that the dark side of the entrance examination will be exposed through the children who find the correct answer in the extreme dilemma.
Attention is focused on the fact that Teving, who successfully succeeded in academy materials with different subjects such as 'After-school War Activities'Pyramid Game'Study Group'Running Mate', is a new work. On top of that, director Park So-yeon and new writer Choi Soo of 『Pyramid Game』, which opened a new horizon for academy materials, join forces to make drama fans more excited. Above all, expectations are high on the synergy of individual rising stars such as Bae Hyun-sung, Cha Kang-yoon, and Park Yun-ho. In addition, trusted actors such as Um Ji-won, Park Hyuk-kwon, and Baek Ji-won also join to increase the level of completion.
Bae Hyun-sung plays Nam Jae-yeop, who is a hexagon full of gold spoon, warm visuals, and excellent grades, but everything is a mask. The inferiority complex toward Kang Kyung-tae (Cha Kang-yoon) also explodes as he begins to deviate from his father's life plan. Cracks begin to appear in his perfect daily life, and he begins to run like a grenade with a safety pin pulled out. Bae Hyun-sung, who imprinted his presence through the 'New President Project', portrays Nam Jae-yeop, who has the aspect of a theater company, in three dimensions. Bae Hyun-sung felt that it was a work that was so interesting and meant to be considered seriously. I'm looking forward to showing a new feeling and emotion through the character Jae-yeop, he said. "More than anything, I came to participate because I wanted to express a scene that could show my relationship with Geontae in an impactful way."
Cha Kang-yoon transforms into a miracle Kang Kyung-tae of 'low-income special scholarship student' who does not miss the top spot in the school in Jeonggyeong High School, which is full of rich people. I have drawn a perfect blueprint for the first cornerstone of life 'Mingundae', but the choice I made to survive returns as the only stain. A person who falls into a vortex due to Nam Jae-yeop's irresistible proposal amid the biggest crisis in his life. Expectations are also high for Cha Kang-yoon's unique transformation, which has attracted attention through 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' and 'Graduation'. Cha Kang-yoon is full of excitement and expectations different from before to take on the character who has to lead the play for the first time. It's such an honor. Director, thank you from the bottom of my heart to the writer. "Since it's a different thriller genre, there are many scenes where you have to put in various emotions as well as acting that you wanted to try. We will prepare and act earnestly with sincerity, so please look forward to it a lot."
Park Yun-ho played the role of Joo Hee-dong, whose friend Kang Kyung-tae is a pride and idol. Unlike him, who has ambiguous abilities and family, he is a person who feels strangely proud that he is the only friend who talks about his inner feelings. Park Yun-ho, who showed an impactful performance in 'Trigger'Study Group', faces the secret of Kang Kyung-tae and unravels Joo Hee-dong's twists that are undergoing strong changes. Park Yun-ho is grateful to be able to be with 'Dialectic Scholastic Ability Test' at such a good opportunity. I'm excited and looking forward to every step of working together. "I'll do my best to convey good energy to the work," he said.
The synergy of actors who trust and watch will focus on completeness is also expected. Um Ji-won plays Sim Sang-oh, a secret elite mother who gave up her career to focus on her son's entrance examination. It is an unexpected event that reminds me of the forgotten feelings as it intertwines with Kang Do-tae. Um Ji-won said "The density of the script was good, and it was fun to move each character's charm alive. Thanks to the great teamwork of the director, writer, and production team, I think I can make a good piece of work,' he said, stimulating expectations.
Park Hyuk-kwon served as Nam Dong-sik, the father of Nam Jae-yeop's fear and candidate for district chief. Based on the psychology of compensation that he should receive as much as he did, he reveals violence whenever he goes against expectations. Park Hyuk-kwon is a work that has a fine and delicate composition and a well-organized emotional line of characters. I'll analyze Nam Dong-sik well and calculate it so that I can make the most of the fun of the script," he said.
Baek Sun-hee, whose only son, Nam Jae-yeop, is the driving force of life, is played by Baek Ji-won. Although he has an innocent personality, he has no hesitation in interfering with Nam Jae-yeop's future, and he changes suddenly in matters related to his son. Expectations are high for Baek Sun-hee to be completed by Baek Ji-won, who has shown overwhelming presence with her unlimited acting.
Meanwhile, the original TVing series 'Deputy College Scholastic Ability Test' will be released at TVing in 2026.
