Lee Dong Wook returns with deep and profound emotions.

The production team of JTBC Friday series ‘A Good Man ‘(directed by Song Hae-seong, Park Hong-soo, written by Kim Woon-kyung, Kim Hyo-seok)released a teaser poster on the 23rd that leaves a longing aftertaste with the longing in Park Seok-cheol’s(played by Lee Dong-wook)lonely eyes.

‘A Good Man ‘is a sentimental noir about Park Seok-cheol, the eldest grandson of a third-generation gangster family with an unexpectedly innocent heart, and his first love Kang Mi-young(played by Lee Sung-kyung), who dreams of becoming a singer.The passionate love between a man and a woman who give up everything for someone precious, and the process of overcoming the harsh reality and pursuing their dreams, presents a warm laughter and deep resonance.

Director Song Hae-seong, who showed his delicate directing skills through movies such as’ Failure ‘,’ Aging Family ‘, and’ Our Happy Time ‘, and director Park Hong-soo of the drama’ No Longer Human ‘will be directing, raising expectations.In addition, writer Kim Woon-kyung, who received much love for works such as’ Yuna’s Street ‘,’ The Moon of Seoul ‘, and’ The Blue Bird ‘, and writer Kim Hyo-seok of the movie’ Opposition Party ‘will join forces.

If the previously unveiled character teaser video amplified curiosity by implying the fate of Park Seok-cheol, who dreamed of becoming a novelist but had no choice but to become a gangster, the teaser poster released today hints at Park Seok-cheol’s loneliness.Park Seok-cheol sits alone in an empty subway car and gives off an empty gaze.The scars all over his face seem to show the life of Park Seok-cheol, a gangster who has been through tiresome fights.The phrase “It’s okay if my life is a little ruined” added to the cold air that lacks any warmth adds curiosity to what Park Seok-cheol wants to protect even if it means risking his life and the path he has walked.

Lee Dong-wook, whose acting transformation is expected, plays the role of Park Seok-cheol, the eldest grandson of a third-generation gangster family who becomes a gangster against his will.He has been more honest than anyone else, but now he decides to put his life back on track.He challenges his childhood dream of becoming a novelist like Hemingway again, and his life is thrown into turmoil once again when he has a fateful reunion with his first love, Kang Mi-young.

The production team said, “The story of ‘good man’ Park Seok-cheol, who finds a new life and love even in the midst of the trials of harsh reality, will deliver heartbreaking empathy with warm laughter.” They also added, “You can look forward to the emotional noir that actor Lee Dong-wook will complete by moving from intense action to deep emotional melodrama.”

‘Good Man’ will first air at 8:50 PM on July 18th, and will air two episodes consecutively every Friday.
