The popular webtoon "A Man's Man", which has recorded 470 million cumulative views globally, is set to be produced as a Disney+ original series.
On the 28th, Disney+ announced the confirmed production of the series "A Man's Man" alongside its casting lineup.
"A Man's Man" is an office regression story about a man who chased only success to become a major corporation CEO, but lost everything overnight, only to return to his life as an entry-level employee 20 years in the past to carve out his life anew. It is based on the popular web novel and webtoon of the same name.
Actor Park Jeong-min takes the lead role as protagonist Han Yu-hyeon. Yu-hyeon is a character who climbed from an ordinary staff member to the youngest CEO, lost everything overnight, and then returns to his rookie days 20 years prior to right a past filled with regrets.
Joining Part 4 of the Hansung Electronics Product Planning Team, to which Yu-hyeon belongs after his return to the past, are Bae Seong-woo (as Kim Hyeon-min), Kim Ji-hyun (as Choi Min-hee), Jeong Mun-seong (as Kim Yeong-gil), Moon Sang-hoon (as Park Seung-woo), and Kim Min (as Lee Chan-ho), who will showcase colorful team chemistry.
Additionally, Lee Jung-eun (as Cho Chan-young), Kim Dae-myung (as Lee Gyeong-hun), and Lee Sang-yi (as Kwon Se-jung) are joining as characters portraying the fierce power struggles within the large corporation. Furthermore, Kim Seol-hyun will make a special appearance as Lee Ae-rin, the secretary to Managing Director Cho Chan-young, and Lee Kwang-soo as Chairman Shin Gyeong-su, the person Yu-hyeon guards against the most, putting the finishing touch on the lineup.
The directing will be led by actor and director Kim Hie-won, who proved his directing prowess with the Disney+ series "Light Shop", while production is handled by Studio N, the company behind hit series such as "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call", "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born", and "Vigilante".
Director Kim Hie-won shared his thoughts, saying, "I have prepared really hard. I am making an effort so that everyone here can work happily," and added, "I hope everyone can finish filming with smiles and enjoyment."
