An entertainment industry official told Sports Chosun on the 14th that Jungwoo Ha and Jung Soo-jung will work together through the new drama 「Builders」 (written by Shim Pil-sung, directed by Lim Pil-sung).
'Builders' is a thriller about a debt-ridden building owner, who participates in crime to protect his family and building that are more precious than his life. It's a story that everyone dreams of becoming a building owner, but in reality, it's a situation where they're struggling with debt, and they join the kidnapping drama to overcome this crisis. It will tell the story of the fake kidnapping becoming a real kidnapping.
The Jungwoo Ha plays a jockey who became a building owner through 'Youngchl'. As a gentle and family gentleman, his goal was to live faithfully every day, but as a livelihood building owner, he eventually became involved in the kidnapping drama. Another point to watch is what kind of acting the Jungwoo Ha, who has shown acting through various genres, will show. In addition, Jung Soo-jung joins the team, drawing attention to how she will perform with Ha Jung-woo.
Meanwhile, Jungwoo Ha greeted the home turf with Netflix's original series 'Surinam' for the first time in 15 years since the drama 'Hit' aired in 2007. At the time, Jungwoo Ha, who won the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards, answered "It won't take that long" when asked "Isn't he going to be doing a drama again in about 15 years?" As a result, expectations are high for the Jungwoo Ha's choice of 'Builders', which has mainly focused on movies.
Meanwhile, director Lim Pil-sung directed 'Builders'. Director Lim Pil-sung directed Netflix 'Persona', which has been a starring role of 'Madam Bang-duk' and IU (Lee Ji-eun), so attention is drawn to what style he will use through 'Builders'.
