Park Seo-joon, Um Tae-goo, and Jo Hye-joo to Star in Disney+ Original Series "I Am the Sinner"

Crime Noir Set Against 1980s Urban Redevelopment
Director Hong Wonchan's First Foray into Series

On March 31, Disney+ announced that it will produce the original series "I Am the Sinner," starring Park Seo-joon, Um Tae-goo, and Jo Hye-joo.

Set in the 1980s during the fervor of urban redevelopment, this crime action noir depicts the story of two men: Paeng-i, an embodiment of the era's desires and villainy, and Saengdak, a survival-driven gang member. The two risk everything in a life-altering, high-stakes scheme. The series is based on the webtoon of the same name by writer Imugi, which was acclaimed for its tightly woven narrative and nuanced character portrayals.

Park Seo-joon plays Paeng-i, a figure known as the evil of the era. As a mysterious man who suddenly appears in a district swept by the redevelopment frenzy ahead of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he enters the drug business and drags those around him into chaos.

Um Tae-goo joins as Saengdak, a member of the Bukgu gang whose life is upended after betraying his organization and accepting Paeng-i's offer. Jo Hye-joo takes on the role of Bokhee, the key supplier in the drug business and Paeng-i's first love.

The series will be directed by Hong Won-chan, known for his stylish action in the film "Deliver Us from Evil." Production is a joint effort between New Point and Plus Media Entertainment.
