TV CHOSUN's new weekend miniseries 'Confidence Man KR' hints at a major injury to the mental pillar of the 'Confidence Man team' with Park Hee-soon on the scene of 'limb gips, unconscious hospitalization.'
Set to premiere on September 6, the new weekend miniseries 'Confidence Man KR' on TV CHOSUN (written by Hong Seung-hyun and Kim Da-hye, directed by Nam Ki-hoon) is a 'caper comedy' where three con artists with versatile skills seek revenge against the villains of our time.
'Confidence Man KR' draws immense attention with the collaboration of director Nam Ki-hoon, known for his diverse directing techniques in 'Casino,' 'Kiss Sixth Sense,' 'Oh My Baby,' and 'Voice 3,' and writer Hong Seung-hyun, who showcased intricate storytelling in 'Criminal Minds' and 'Cheryong 1, 2,' along with writer Kim Da-hye, who leads a new wave with fresh sensibility and outstanding writing skills. The drama is expected to shake up the latter half of 2025 with the participation of prominent actors Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon, and Joo Jong-hyuk.
In particular, Park Hee-soon presents his biggest acting transformation in 35 years as James, the mental pillar of the 'Confidence Man team,' who represents French chic. Park Hee-soon flexibly expresses James's varied charm, equipped with a strong charisma, quick responsiveness, elegant humor, and free-spirited thinking, establishing the justification for James's actions.
Relatedly, Park Hee-soon shocks viewers with an 'emergency hospitalization' hinting at James's major injury. In the drama, James (Park Hee-soon) is hospitalized unconscious. In patient attire, James lies unconscious with a neck brace and limbs in gips, stirring emotions in Yoon I-rang (Park Min-young) and Myung Goo-ho (Joo Jong-hyuk), who come to visit his hospital room, as they redden their eyes in concern. Why does James suddenly suffer a major injury, and will this put a brake on the trio's quick con game? Questions about the hidden secrets in this scene are mounting.
Meanwhile, Park Hee-soon drew attention for his delicate expressiveness as a 'great actor' through the scene, where even his breathing and exhalation become part of his performance. Even as he lay wrapped up, he exuded despair, helping the emotional performances of the other two actors. However, as soon as the 'cut' signal was given, Park Hee-soon returned as 'Lovely Hee-soon,' striking a 'hand heart' pose and creating a cheerful atmosphere, showcasing his maker's character.
The production team noted, "Park Hee-soon is an extraordinary actor with the power to captivate the audience with his sensuous acting," adding, "This scene signifies Park Hee-soon's substantial influence, and it is an essential scene for the unfolding of the plot. We hope everyone will watch this scene during the broadcast."
Meanwhile, 'Confidence Man KR' will premiere simultaneously on September 6 at 9:10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play and will be available globally through Amazon Prime Video in 240 countries and regions, excluding Korea.
