Lee Byunghun, Han Jimin, and Lee Heejun have confirmed their appearances in the drama 'Koreans' (working title) and will begin their first filming next week.
According to a report by IZE on the 6th, 'Koreans' (produced by Studio AA), directed by Ahn Gilho, has finalized its lead cast with Lee Byunghun, Han Jimin, and Lee Heejun and will begin filming next week.
Lee Byunghun and Han Jimin, who will play as married couple in the drama, are working together for the third time through this project. Although the two previously starred in the dramas 'All In' (2003) and 'Our Blues' (2022), but they never actually acted in the same scene together, making this the first time they will actually act opposite each other.
'Koreans,' which Ahn Gilho has been preparing since last year, is a spy drama that reimagines the popular US FX series 'The Americans' in a Korean setting. It will adapt the original story about Soviet spies undercover in the United States during the Cold War in the 1980s into the era of military dictatorship in South Korea.
As it is a large-scale production with a high budget, the series is expected to be released on the major OTT platform Disney+.
'Koreans' is drawing attention as a large-scale project combining a grand historical setting with a spy narrative. In particular, the collaboration between Director Ahn Gilho (previously directed 'The Glory,' 'Happiness,' and 'Stranger) and acclaimed actors Lee Byunghun, Han Jimin, and Lee Heejun are raising anticipations.
Expectations are high to see what kind of spy drama 'Koreans' will be, given that some of the biggest names in K-drama have come together for this masterpiece.
