Actor Cha Kang-yoon connects generations with the eyes of his son in reality through the drama 「The Story of Manager Kim」(hereinafter The Story of Director Kim who works at a large company in Seoul).

In JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama, which will premiere on the 25th, he plays the role of Kim Nak-soo (Ryu Seung-ryong)'s only son 'Kim Soo-kyum'.

At a production presentation held at The Link Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul on the 22nd, Cha Kang-yoon said, `I thought a lot about my parents while filming this work. I naturally empathized with Ryu Seung-ryong, who led me like my father and mother, and I was able to empathize with him thanks to him."




The chemistry on the spot was also extraordinary. Cha Kang-yoon said "Ryu Seung-ryong always came 'Your son?' he welcomed me. Watching the highlights of the broadcast, I thought 'He's a great person' and that respect got bigger' and 'The atmosphere on the scene was like a real family, so it was easy to act' he said.

In the play, Kim Soo-gyeom does not show a clear inner side, but he is a character who gradually changes in his family. In response, director Cho Hyun-tak said, `Cha Kang-yoon is an actor with energy that doesn't know where to go. He explained, "He seems to be a person who doesn't understand on the outside, but he has hot emotions inside."

Cha Kang-yoon said, `I think viewers my age will think of my parents while watching the drama. I hope it will be an opportunity to understand the generation and look back on the relationship once again."




JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Story of Director Kim』 will premiere at 10:40 p.m. on the 25th.
