Actors Park Sung-woong and Park Sang-hoon will be appearing in the new MBC drama ‘The Evil Commenter of Coach Maeng’.

On the 25th, MBC revealed that the two will be appearing in the new drama ‘The Evil Commenter of Coach Maeng’, which is scheduled to air in the first half of the year.

‘The Evil Commenter of Coach Maeng’ is a two-man game comedy that depicts Maeng-gong, a professional basketball coach who is in danger of being fired due to poor performance, joining hands with his evil commenter Hwa-jin for the sake of the team‘s performance.

Last year, it won the grand prize at the MBC drama script contest, receiving rave reviews saying, “The interesting relationship between the two main characters is well-expressed with good dialogue.” As the script’s perfection has already been recognized, curiosity and expectations for the drama are rising day by day.

The directing is by Director Hyun Sol-ip, who created the drama “I’m Going Crazy Because of You!”

Trustworthy actor Park Sung-woong plays the role of Maeng-gong, the coach of the professional basketball team “Big Pandas,” which has been on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs for three consecutive years.

As his name suggests, he was a star player who would attack fiercely on the court during his younger days, but he is currently better known as the “young old fart” coach of professional basketball.

Park Sang-hoon, who has emerged as a promising next-generation star, plays Go Hwa-jin, a malicious commenter who goes by the nickname ‘Maeng-kong-myeol-jong-dan’.

He is a high school senior who knows how to analyze the game down to the second, and he harbors hostility and revenge toward Maeng-gong, which led him to become a malicious commenter.

He left a deep impression with his warm visuals and stable acting in the movie ‘An Ordinary Family’ and the drama ‘Won-gyeong’.

The production team said, “This is a casting that boasts perfect synchronization. You can look forward to the fresh chemistry and cheerful tiki-taka that Park Sung-woong and Park Sang-hoon will show,” and added, “With colorful characters, passionate acting, and an exciting story that you can’t take your eyes off of, an attractive piece will be born. Please look forward to the first broadcast.”
