South Korean entertainment news is reporting today that Han So Hee and Jeon Jong Seo are set to headline the upcoming K-drama tentatively titled Project Y.
According to various sources, Project Y delves into the shadows of Seoul’s Gangnam district, unfurling a noir narrative that traces the audacious aspirations of two friends aiming to abscond with 8 billion won (approximately $5.8 million) in gold bars, while evading all detection.
Steering the ship is director Lee Hwan who, while he began his career as an actor, is more known for dramas Park Hwa Young and Young Adult Matters.
The same studio that produced the recent hit K-drama Parasyte: The Grey — Climax Studio — will be producing.
