Jung Kyung Ho and Park Hae Soo cast in 'Reply' PD's new drama

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

We’ve finally got our jailbird lineup for the newest drama from PD Shin Won-ho of the Answer Me franchise, titled Smart Prison Living. In a departure from the throwback youth series that he’s known for, Shin PD’s new series will be a black comedy about the lives of inmates at a prison. Jung Kyung-ho has been confirmed in a starring role opposite stage actor Park Hae-soo, who most recently played the detective who chased Lee Min-ho and then became his friend in Legend of the Blue Sea.

The script is being kept under wraps, so no character descriptions have been released for the roles. All we know so far is that the drama plans to tell the everyday stories of prisoners, and is a lighthearted human drama rather than a crime thriller, promising dark humor and pathos. Writing is Jung Bo-hoon, a junior writer from the Answer Me series.

The supporting cast includes musical actor Lee Kyu-hyung, Answer Me 1988’s teddy-bear papa Choi Moo-sung, musical actor Kim Sung-chul, and character actor Kim Joon-bae.

Smart Prison Living is being planned for tvN’s Wednesday-Thursday slot in October.

I'm soooo excited particularly since Korea like to sleep on his talent. Hopefully since this will be made by a famous PD, he will get more recognition. :DD
