So Ji-sub Stars in SBS New Drama ‘Manager Kim’ With Cool Black-and-White Teaser Posters Unveiled

‘Manager Kim’ So Ji-sub transforms into a dangerous man to get his daughter back.

Fatherly-love blockbuster based on the same-titled webtoon gets under way SBS’s new Friday-to-Saturday drama ‘Manager Kim’ said on the 29th it has immediately released a teaser poster featuring So Ji-sub’s intense transformation as the main character, Kim Jang. Based on the same-titled Naver webtoon, ‘Manager Kim’ is a revenge action drama rooted in fatherly love, in which the most ordinary father in the world becomes the most dangerous man to fight his way to recover his one and only missing daughter. The screenplay is by Nam Dae-jung, the writer of ‘The Great Wish’ and ‘30 Days,’ and the series is directed by Lee Seung-young of ‘Wonderful World’ and ‘Tracer,’ along with rising director Lee So-eun, with the seasoned team joining forces ahead of broadcast and building high expectations.

Black-and-white teaser poster with a gun instead of a lunch box Released ahead of the first broadcast, the black-and-white toned teaser poster delivers, visually and powerfully, the deep rage and desperation of Kim Jang as he sets out to find his missing daughter. His chilling gaze, clutching a cold gun instead of his daughter’s lunch box, suggests that the war-related DNA he has kept buried for a long time has awakened again, offering nail-biting tension. So Ji-sub’s heavy aura as he leaves behind his father’s ordinary life and completes his ruthless revenge geared toward the target is signaling the series’ massive scale.

Two faces of a former intelligence operative in ‘Code Name 66’ In particular, the plot’s twist identity of Kim Jang’s two faces is intriguing. On the surface, he lives as an ordinary small-and-medium savings bank employee and is a ‘daughter-obsessed’ father who only looks at his daughter—but in the past, he was a former operative who carried out special missions too numerous to count, and a human weapon. ‘Code Name 66,’ a walking time bomb whose existence is kept secret even in South Korea, is also the No. 1 on North Korea’s top-tier blacklist. It is Kim Jang’s true self. So Ji-sub’s merciless action, awakening the deadly side he had forgotten, will unfold in the 10-episode drama ‘Manager Kim,’ which is set to premiere on June 26 at 9:50 p.m.
