First, Yeon Je-hyung plays the role of Dae-sik’s eldest son, Kim Seok-jin. Seok-jin is a herbivore who became a beast in pursuit of success. He is a man of few words, serious, and a stickler for principles. Seok-jin, who wishes to make his parents who have worked hard for him happy, begins to feel strange feelings for Seo-woo, whom he meets by chance on the day he returns from studying abroad.
Lee So-won plays Han Seo-woo, the second daughter of Moo-cheol and Mi-ja. Seo-woo, who has to say what she wants to say and has to get what she wants, is shy and has never been in a serious relationship, unlike her nickname, ‘Hansanova’. When her annoying tenant, Seok-jin, ignores her, Seo-woo suffers alone and ends up causing a major accident.
Kim Hyun-ji appears as Kim Ah-jin, the youngest daughter of Dae-sik and Hye-sook. Ah-jin is the youngest daughter who is just as frugal and tenacious as her father, Dae-sik. Ah-jin, who has such an outstanding sense of taste and cooking skills that she is called the ‘modern Jang-geum’, dreams of opening a small shop and works at a local Korean restaurant. She gets entangled with Tae-ha due to an unfortunate accident and gets entangled with him again when he gets a job as her subordinate.
Park Ji-sang plays Han Tae-ha, the eldest son of Moo-cheol and a high-spec unemployed person who is looking for a chance at success. Tae-ha considers the life of a company employee, who is stuck in the office, inefficient. Having amassed a fortune through stock investments, he dreams of becoming a millionaire, surpassing his father. However, when he suddenly faces a crisis, he realizes the meaning of money earned through sweat through A-jin, an employee at a restaurant run by his senior.
Gong Ye-ji was cast as Kim Mi-jin, the eldest daughter of Dae-sik and Hye-sook. Mi-jin gave up her dream of becoming a designer due to her difficult family circumstances, got married early, and lived as a water purifier coordinator. While struggling with her mother-in-law, husband, and children who are all devoted to her son, she struggles to get the deposit for her parents‘ chicken restaurant and learns a shocking truth.
Ahn Jun-seo plays Choi Min-yong, the only son of Choi Gyu-tae. Min-yong, who lost his mother at a young age, grew up in the midst of his father Gyu-tae’s excessive love. However, he suddenly develops a heart condition and is put in a situation where he needs surgery.
Yeon Je-hyung, Lee So-won, Kim Hyun-ji, Park Ji-sang, Gong Ye-ji, and Ahn Jun-seo, who appear as the children of the ‘Three Musketeers of the World’ Son Chang-min, Sunwoo Jae-deok, and Park Sang-myeon, are expected to increase the interest of the drama as they become entangled with the children of the building owner and tenants. Also, in the midst of fates that were reversed in an instant, the children‘s conflicting love lines are expected to be another point of interest in ‘Catch the Grand Fortune’.
The production team of ‘Catch the Grand Fortune’ said, “The six new, young actors who appear as the children of the Three Musketeers are really fulfilling the role of vitamins for the drama”, and “Please look forward to the activities of the young actors who will breathe life into the drama”.
