2014-02-13 14:51

Choi Daniel has been cast in an upcoming KBS drama Big Man (Tentative).

The actor will be taking the role of Kang Dong Suk, the only son of the CEO of Hyun Sung Group, one of the most successful businesses in Korea. Kang Dong Suk is a two-faced character who is a gentle elite on one side but someone who doesn’t hesitate to do anything, including committing crimes, for the sake of his success.

Kang Dong Suk will be facing off with Kim Ji Hyuk (Kang Ji Hwan) in a fierce competition when his company falls into a desperate situation.

An affiliate of Kim Jong Hak Production, the drama production company, said, “The role of Kang Dong Suk requires one to have lots of charisma and double character. We think that Choi Daniel, who has challenged himself to take many different roles and has built his acting experience, is best suited for the role.”

Meanwhile, Big Man will be broadcasting its first episode on April 14, following The Full Sun.

Choi Daniel takes on the role of Kang Dong-seok, the only son to a very wealthy family that owns Hyeon Sung Group and an elite character who's had everything he's ever wanted.

Kang Ji-hwan, Choi Daniel to go Face to Face in New Series
2014/02/13 by Jessica Kim




Actors Kang Ji-hwan and Choi Daniel have been cast in a new drama, according to its promoter on Thursday.

A press release by 3HW COM stated that the two will star in KBS’s Monday and Tuesday series tentatively titled “BIG MAN” starting April 14.

The show will be about a man, who after born as an orphan lives a low life, yet comes to take up a fight to protect the people that are special to him,

Kang will play that man who one day finds out he was the hidden son to a top conglomerate family and Choi the son of that family who had always been set to be the heir. They will also form a love triangle with a woman.

An official with the show’s producer Kimjonghak Production was quoted as saying, “We came to cast Kang because we thought an actor with the ability to express the character’s various emotions freely would fit the role.”

Of Choi the official was quoted as saying, “His role needed to be played by someone who can be charismatic and show a thoroughly split personality. We thought Choi would be the best actor for the role because he has solidified a field of acting of his own by taking on various characters.”

Kang’s last project was SBS drama “Incarnation of Money” early last year and Choi’s most recent project was film “AM 11:00″ at the end of last year.

Choi Daniel Cast in NEW KBS2 Drama, 'Big Man'
bnt news 2/13/14



by Chloe Yun] Actor Choi Daniel comes back on small screens with new TV drama ‘BIG MAN’

KBS2’s new drama series ‘BIG MAN,’ starring Choi Daniel and Kang Ji Hwan, depicts a revenge story of a man (Kang Ji Hwan) who grew up as an orphan in an impoverished neighborhood. He starts a fight with powerful figures to protect his beloved people and himself.

Choi Daniel plays Kang Dong Suk, the heir of Korea’s richest corporate group called ‘Hyunsung.’ Kang Dong Suk acts like a gentleman from the outside but, in fact, is a crafty selfish man committing any illegal acts that would get him a success in business.

Moreover, the two male characters will show bloody competition as they happen to fall in love with the same girl ‘So Mi Ra.’

Meanwhile, the first episode of ‘Big Man’ is set to air on April 14 as a follow-up of ‘The Sun.’ (photo by bntnews DB)

Choi Daniel cast in new KBS drama 'Big Man' + signs with new agency Awana
February 13, 2014



Choi Daniel had some 'big' news for fans as it has been announced that he's joined new agency Awana and has been confirmed to star in the new KBS drama 'Big Man' (working title)!

'Big Man' portrays the story of an orphan who goes through a fight reminiscent of 'David and Goliath' as he tries to protect himself and his loved ones. Choi Daniel will play the role of two-faced chaebol Kang Dong Suk who looks like a friendly and witty gentleman on the surface but gets involved in corrupt dealings and also gets into a love triangle with Kim Ji Hyuk (Kang Ji Hwan).

An Awana rep stated, "We plan to support Choi Daniel, who takes on diverse roles and has a wide range of acting ability, by highlighting his color and strengths as an actor and supporting him, so that his talent may known across the global entertainment market."

'Big Man' will premiere following 'Full Sun' on April 14!

Daniel Choi joins the cast of new KBS drama Big Man
by awcoconuts | February 15, 2014



Daniel Choi is another Big Man. He joins Kang Ji-hwan in KBS’s new revenge drama, and will take on the role of chaebol heir and only son. It’s been roughly a year since his last television projects (School 2013, Anticipate Love), and in a step up from previous working-class roles (teacher, reporter, MD), Daniel continues down the Korean actor checklist by taking on the requisite chaebol role.

His character is an outwardly friendly and congenial man, but he proves to be a two-faced and cunning businessman who doesn’t hesitate to do whatever it takes to survive in business. As the only heir to the fictional Hyunsung Group (a mish-mash of Hyundai and Samsung?), he readily accepts his future as leader of Korea’s most powerful business conglomerate. However, his ascent to power is complicated by the revenge-seeking, orphan-turned-successful-business-leader played by Kang Ji-hwan.

Daniel Choi becomes entangled in a fierce love triangle for a woman (yet to be cast, who’s loved him for a long time) with his rival. It’ll be nice to see Daniel Choi explore an intense, multi-dimensional character, as up until now he has mostly played endearing and somewhat dorky leads or supporting males. (Yes, he was a bad guy in Ghost, but the dork roles have been much more plentiful.)

As previously noted, Big Man will air Mondays and Tuesdays after Full Sun beginning April 14.

Have a Happy Friday and Weekend Dani friends ><

The first script reading of Lee Da Hee, Kang Ji Hwan, Choi Daniel and Jung So Min for "Big Man"
translated by the KJH Philippine Operator 2014-03-07



The new KBS2 TV Mon-Tue drama, "Big Man" (script by Choi Jin Won and to be directed by Ji Yeong Su) unveiled their recent script reading.

Reading the script in the scene is Kang Ji Hwan (as Kim Ji Hyeok), Lee Da Hee (as So Mi Ra), Choi Daniel (as Kang Dong Seok), Jung So Min (as Kang Jin Ah), the main characters from the KBS drama, together with director Young Tak, Jung Hae Ryong CP, Ji Young Su PD, including writer, Choi Jin Won gathered together in one place.

The first meeting of the cast and crew emitted a pleasant atmosphere as they say goodbye to each other. Consistent script readings allow the actors to completely immerse themselves into each character, to regulate their basic tone, expression, breathing, matching look in their eyes, such as when they have a face to face encounter scene unfolding which was overwhelming.

Joining the leads, Kang Ji Hwan, Lee Da Hee, Choi Daniel and Jung So Min are Han Sang Jin (as Do Sang Ho), Eom Hyo Seop (as Kang Seong Wook), Cha Hwa Yeon (as Choi Yoon), Song Ok Suk (as Hong Dal Suk), Kwon Hae Hyo (as Ku Deok Kyu), Lee Dae Yeon. With a heavy presence of luxury, the true combination of old and new actors present a fantastic feast of charming characters.

"Big Man" director Ji Young Soo said, "If you respect each other's best in the field, more than being fun, I think the atmosphere is going to be pleasant and the drama would successfully progress. I will make every effort to ensure that."

The first broadcast will be on April 14.
