Jang Hyuk Considers Offer To Star As Main Lead In MBC’s Upcoming Drama

May 10, 2018

 

His newest drama just started, but Jang Hyuk is already receiving new offers for his next production!

 

On May 10, a source from his agency clarified earlier reports about his casting as the lead in MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “Bad Papa” (literal translation). They explained, “He has received an offer to star in ‘Bad Papa.’ However, the discussion is not at the stage where his appearance can be confirmed.”

 

Directed by Jin Chang Kyu of “Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People,” “Bad Papa” is about the struggle of a middle-aged man who makes the decision to become “a bad person” in order to be a good father. It is currently set to air after “Partners for Justice” and “Life-and-Death Romance” (literal title).

 

Jang Hyuk has been offered the role of Yoo Ji Chul, a former, undefeated boxing champion who is also a husband and father. When his life suddenly becomes hell, Yoo Ji Chul despairs everyday until he comes across a new drug that is amazingly effective. By taking the mysterious drug, he manages to successfully return to mixed martial arts.

 

Jang Hyuk is currently starring in SBS’s “Wok of Love” with Jung Ryeo Won and 2PM’s Junho.

Kim Jae-kyung, 'Bad Papa' casting ... Transformed into investigation detective

 

Kim Jae-kyung has been casted in MBC's new Mon/Tue drama 'Bad Papa' according to the broadcasting company on the 17th June.

 

Kim Jae-kyung acts as Cha Ji-woo, a junior of Yoo Ji-chul (Jang Hyuk) in the drama,  who is also the youngest female detective. She realizes that the case she is investigating is linked to a questionable new drug trial that Yoo Ji-chul is involved with.

Kim Jae-kyung used to be a member of K-pop group Rainbow. She has since appeared in various works such as 'Monster', 'Noble, my love', 'Madam Antoine', 'Inspiring Generation', and 'God's Quiz Season 4'. Recently, she also showed great presence in KBS 'Miracle that we met' as the role of Mao. In the currently airing OCN's 'Life on Mars', she played the role of Han Mal-sook, a cosmetics salesperson who lived in 1988.

 

'Bad Papa' is a drama about a struggling middle-aged man who chooses to become a bad man in order to a good father. It depicts a story of a bad human being who can not but cheer, and a story of our fathers who can not help but support.

 

Previously, it was reported that Jang Hyuk and Son Yeo-eun  will appear in the drama. Jang Hyuk  plays a former undefeated boxing champion, Yoo Ji-chul, who becomes an incurable man.

Jang Hyuk Becomes a "Bad Papa" Looking for Redemption

 

I know that the disturbing daddy jokes write themselves by now, but let's get serious for a moment and look at this upcoming drama about a broken man reclaiming his life. Jang Hyuk apparently never sleeps, so he has confirmed his leading role as the titular character of MBC's upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama "Bad Papa".

 

"Bad Papa" depicts the struggles of a man who chooses to be a bad person in order to be a good father. I'm not sure what this means, but I'm getting strong "I Am a Dad" vibes from this. Do we get a properly flawed man here? I definitely hope so. Jang Hyuk plays Yoo Ji-cheol, an unfortunate character who used to be a top boxer, before suddenly losing his money and fame in one go.

 

Ji-cheol sets out to piece his broken life back together and regain his family through the means of mixed martial arts. Jang Hyuk tackling a tough character who is defined both by action and humanity is reportedly a point of anticipation. I can definitely share said anticipation, as Jang Hyuk is a solid actor who really shines in approachable characters.

 

"Bad Papa" is written by Kim Seong-min, directed by Jin Chang-gyoo ("Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People") and it will follow "Investigation Partners" and "Risky Romance" in the second half of the year. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

Jang Hyuk up to play ex-boxer in MBC’s Bad Papa

by tipsymocha

What a busy, busy bee. Jang Hyuk (Greasy Melo) has already lined up his next show, titled Bad Papa, which makes the upcoming MBC drama his third television project this year. I’m always down for more Jang Hyuk, though, so you won’t hear me complaining anytime soon. The role calls for a great mix of action and drama that sounds like right up Jang Hyuk’s alley, too.

 

Jang Hyuk is up to play a former top boxer who lost all of his fame and wealth in a single moment, and now seeks to reclaim his life by starting anew in mixed martial arts. His character decides to become a bad person in order to be a good father, and will struggle to live up to his role as the head of his family. The ex-boxer will start to repair ties with his wife, played by Sohn Yeo-eun (Suits), and their daughter, portrayed by the young Shin Eun-soo (Vanishing Time: A Boy Who Returned).

 

Jang Hyuk’s and Sohn Yeo-eun’s characters are high school sweethearts who married young and had their daughter at 20 years old, and while she resents her husband’s abrupt fall from grace, she tries her best to be a good parent in front of her child. Bad Papa sounds like a heartwarming tearjerker of a family drama, with two parents struggling to be a decent mom and dad to their daughter, despite their flaws and what life throws their way.

 

Hopefully, the writing and directing will be able to do this story justice, and I’m cautiously optimistic to hear that PD Jin Chang-kyu, who co-directed Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People, will be sitting in the director’s chair. Bad Papa is slated to follow Life or Death Romance, starring Lee Shi-young and Ji Hyun-woo, which puts its premiere sometime this fall on MBC.

Excited for Bad Papa. I'm anticipating this drama. I check and the young actress  Shin Eun Soo, playing Jang Hyuk's daughter is only 15 yrs old. I'm checking Vanishing Time movie so wanted to share.  Hyuki's up coming drama The Swords man.. feature his as blind swordsman  with teen daughter  too (played by  Kim Hyun Soo).

 

Gosh, he's getting these characters with teen daughters. But still at his age... he looks sexy as hell! it's the icing on the cake. The brilliant acting tops!  It's definitely Jang Hyuk's year.  He  better win a Daesang or an Intl emmy again.

 

Jang Hyuk!  Like a fine wine. The professionalism. Love for craft.His acting skills.  ❤️️
