It‘s not just Kim Yoon-seok and Lee Seung-gi. Kim Sung-ryung, Kang Han-na, and Park Soo-young are expected to be the ’scene stealers‘ in this winter’s only family comedy film, ‘Big Family’.

‘Big Family‘, which opens on December 11, tells the story of a man (Kim Yoon-seok) who runs a dumpling restaurant called Pyeong Man-ok, whose family lineage has died out because his son (Lee Seung-gi) became a monk, and who ends up living with cute grandchildren he’s never seen before.

In the drama, Kim Sung-ryung plays Mrs. Bang, the real power behind Pyeong Man-ok. If it weren‘t for Mrs. Bang, the only one who could suppress Ham Moo-ok with charisma, there wouldn’t have been Pyeong Man-ok, which was so popular.

Kang Han-na played the role of Han Ga-yeon, a close friend of Ham Moon-seok and a former CC who has forgotten her past as a monk. One day, due to the sudden visit of Geum-jogi, Han Ga-yeon is forced to confess her past to Moon-seok.

Park Soo-young naturally played the role of In-haeng, a monk who serves the superstar chief priest Ham Moon-seok and does both public and private work. While solving Ham Moon-seok‘s scandal, he gets into a sudden accident that injures both his hands, and he suddenly becomes Pyeong Man-ok’s outcast.
