'Mr. Peulangkton' is a Netflix series that depicts the story of a man named Haejo, who was mistakenly born wrong, and the world's most unfortunate woman, Jaemi, who is forced to accompany him on his final journey in life.

Udo Hwan plays Haejo, a man who was mistakenly born as an odd seed and had to choose a wandering life without a family. One day, news that will shake his life arrives to Haejo, who was unloved anywhere as a disrespectful seed of unknown origin, and he decides to search for his biological father.

The role of Jo Jaemi, the world's most unfortunate bride-to-be, is played by Lee Yumi. She unexpectedly joins Haejo on his fateful journey just before her wedding to Eohheung, the fifth-generation heir of a noble family.

Oh Jungse portrays Eohheung, the fifth-generation heir of the prestigious noble family, and Kim Haesook plays Beomhoja, Eohheung's mother and a daughter-in-law of the noble family for 60 years.

Jo Yong, the writer of the drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' (2020), wrote the script, and director Hong Jongchan, known for 'Dear My Friends' (2016) and the Netflix series 'Juvenile Justice' (2022), is directing.
