The new drama slated to air on tvN, 'The lawmaker blesses' (directed by Park Shin-woo, written by Kwon Jong-kwan, based on the KakaoPage web novel
Director Park Shin-woo, who won the directing award at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards for "Our Unwritten Seoul" and showed delicate and sensuous directing through works such as "It's Okay to Not Be Okay," and writer Kwon Jong-kwan, who wrote "The Price of Confession," have joined forces to guarantee completeness. Above all, the combination of reliable actors who maximize genre pleasure also draws attention. The meeting of Kim Yun-seok and Kim Seon-ho, who will portray the strange buddy play of a 'dead power-holder' who devoted his life to politics and a 'living youth' indifferent to politics, raises expectations for the project's quality.
Kim Yun-seok will passionately portray Gu Yeong-jin, a 'political max-level' National Assembly member who returns as a ghost seeking revenge. A six-term lawmaker, he is a figure who believes politics is calculation, not common sense, and design, not conviction. Gu Yeong-jin, who was at the center of power as a political architect, ends his life entangled in a corruption scandal. Becoming a ghost and returning to the past, he joins hands with Cha Jae-rim to reset his life and once again head toward the center of politics. Having built his unique acting world with solid acting skills, it is intriguing to see how Kim Yun-seok will complete the role of Gu Yeong-jin, the politician turned ghost. Kim Yun-seok said, "I am thrilled to work with excellent actors and staff. I am pleased to meet a good project, and I will do my utmost so that viewers are left with an unforgettable aftertaste."
Kim Seon-ho transforms into Cha Jae-rim, a grade-9 public servant and 'politically clueless' who is lured into politics by the ghost politician Gu Yeong-jin. With nothing and no greed, Cha Jae-rim, who endures each day, simply aims to live an ordinary life. Unexpected upheaval comes when the ghost politician Gu Yeong-jin appears in Cha Jae-rim's life. As Gu Yeong-jin's avatar stepping into the fierce world of politics, Cha Jae-rim's unpredictable exploits will be amplified by Kim Seon-ho's passionate performance. Kim Seon-ho said, "I am truly honored to be able to work with respected actors on a great project. I enjoyed the original, the drama script is fun, and the set is enjoyable, so I am already excited to see how the work will turn out. I will prepare diligently and greet you, so please look forward to it."
It is more anticipated than ever to see what changes the strange companionship will bring as the ghost politician seeking revenge and the youth moving to survive 'bow' to each other and unfold their journey, and to witness the synergy between Kim Yun-seok and Kim Seon-ho.
Meanwhile, Kim Yun-seok returns to home screens one year after the film 'Virus'. In addition to 'The lawmaker blesses,' Kim Seon-ho is also set to appear in Coupang Play variety show 'Bonjour Bakery' and the new Disney+ series 'Portraits of Delusion'.
Recently, he also donated 50 million won on his birthday to take part in meaningful giving. Celebrating his birthday with a meaningful act of sharing, Kim Seon-ho has continued annual birthday donations since 2021, conveying warmth each year through various means such as supporting treatment costs for children with leukemia and support for youth preparing for independence.
