A Mysterious ‘Code’ App That Grants Wishes: Nam Joo-hyuk, Lee Yi-dam, Kim Eui-sung and Park Hoon to Be Released on Disney+ in 2027

Yoo Soo-min, the director who has been singled out as one of the most watched creators after 〈Weak Hero Class 1 and 2〉 sparked explosive worldwide reactions, is set to return with Disney+ original series 〈Code〉. 〈Code〉 is a mystery crime thriller that unfolds after a lowlife attorney who moves between illegal means and shady tactics is invited to an app called ‘Code,’ which grants wishes.

The casting lineup for 〈Code〉 is also drawing attention. First, Nam Joo-hyuk, who has built his own distinct color by leaping across genres—from action thrillers such as 〈The Court Dancer〉, 〈Vigilante〉, 〈Twenty-Five Twenty-One〉, and 〈Startup〉 to romance and coming-of-age dramas—will play Yoon Tae-joo, a lowlife attorney who traffics between illegal acts and loopholes. For the sake of success, Yoon Tae-joo leaves no stone unturned as a lawyer who previously worked as a prosecution investigator, struggling to become a partner attorney at the top law firm. He gets pulled into a whirlpool of desire after receiving a message inviting him to the mysterious app ‘Code,’ which grants wishes—almost by accident. With Yoon Tae-joo, consumed by the desire to rise up and go higher, Nam Joo-hyuk’s transformation into a new face unlike anything seen before is generating expectations. Park Ji-dam, a prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, will follow Yoon Tae-joo closely and dig into the truth behind the 사건 surrounding ‘Code.’ Park Ji-dam is played by Lee Yi-dam, who has been turning heads with her strong presence in works including 〈Lady Dou-a〉 and 〈Can This Love Translate?〉, as well as the film 〈Pavanne〉. Having a connection from the past, Yoon Tae-joo and Park Ji-dam are expected to create a unique chemistry as they size each other up and spar whenever they meet.

Kim Eui-sung, loved for his broad acting resume and compelling performance, including in 〈Fine: Those Country Folk〉 and the 〈Taxi Driver〉 series, joins as Jo Chul-ho, a North Korean defector hacker. Jo Chul-ho is a figure who ends up cooperating with Yoon Tae-joo, who is chasing ‘Code,’ unexpectedly, adding richness to the story. In addition, Park Hoon, who has stamped his name on the industry with distinctive characters in films including 〈Harbin〉 and 〈Spring in Seoul〉, will take on the role of Im Chang-jae, a detective from the powerful unit. Im Chang-jae is a veteran detective with thick bones and a close, brotherly relationship with Yoon Tae-joo, a man who actively helps him pursue his chase toward ‘Code.’ Expectations are high for the perfect acting synergy that Nam Joo-hyuk, Lee Yi-dam, Kim Eui-sung, and Park Hoon will create together within a fresh worldview.

Through a groundbreaking premise that anyone who wants to make their wish come true must pay a price, the mystery crime thriller 〈Code〉 is set to sharply depict the raw truth of human desire. The series, which opened a new chapter and sparked a sensation in academy action coming-of-age dramas, will be directed by Yoo Soo-min. Through 〈Code〉, director Yoo Soo-min plans to capture not only the fun of the genre but also the finely detailed emotional lines of the characters, captivating viewers around the world once again. Production of 〈Code〉 will be handled by SLL, a global creative studio that has created masterpieces across various genres, and by Y-Works Entertainment, which produced the Disney+ original series 〈Fine: Those Country Folk〉 and films including 〈Steel Rain〉 and 〈Steel Rain 2: Summit〉, adding to the sense of trust.
