Kim Ji-Hyeok (Kang Ji-Hwan) doesn't have parents and goes through a tough life. He then meets Dal-Sook who runs a small restaurant at a traditional market. Kim Ji-Hyeok follows her like his mother and settles down at the traditional market. He works hard to open up his own store within the traditional market.
Suddenly, Kim Ji-Hyeok becomes a hidden son from a family that owns Korea's top company Hyunsung. He realizes though that there are impure intentions. Since that moment, Kim Ji-Hyeok takes revenge upon the people at the Hyunsung company. He becomes romantically involved with a woman named So Mi-Ra who he meets at the most important time in his life. (Asianwiki)

There is a world only for the rich and privileged.
There, the laws and principles are different from a normal society.

Money and power let a woman, who is sentenced to life, stay in a VIP ward instead of prison and so many evils are sent back to their normal lives with impunity.
‘Unknown World’ exists in the world where we live.
In this corrupted world, people needed a superman.

This superman is not your typical superman. He does not fly or defeats evil spirits with superpower. Rather he is born as an orphan and has lived a life of being treated with contempt. He has no family or educational background. Although he seems like nothing much, he is relatable.

Then, he meets a woman.
She came to kill him but he falls in love with her.
She brings out a real superhero in him.
Then the miracles start to happen. (KBS World)

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, “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.

"Big Man" will follow "Full Sun" as a KBS Monday-Tuesday drama series, to be directed by Ji Yeong-Su.

Daniel Choi was seen in the 2012 SBS drama, "Phantom" and the 2013 KBS2TV drama, "School 2013" where he showed a spectrum of various roles.

Daniel Choi's character, Kang Dong Seok, may seem friendly and a gentleman but he does not hesitate to get involved in corruption and fraud..a dual character. As a successor to a chaebol group, he believes that "For Business to survive, you must win right here." However, a critical problem arises and leads to a desperate situation that gets Kim Ji Hyeok (Kang Ji Hwan) entangled. A fierce confrontation will unfold between the two men which will increase in anticipation as they will be put in an intense love triangle with a woman.

According to the spokesman of the Kim Jong Hak production, "Kang Dong Seok's character is not to be outdone in charisma, as Kim Ji Hyeok's dual role of true colors is required. It is a challenging role and I think that Daniel Choi is the best actor to follow Kang Ji Hwan to form the cast of "Big Man" (working title)," he said.

"Big Man" is about an orphan who lived to protect the people around him. A "David and Goliath" battle is set to start in this warm revenge drama.

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.
