 by Jihye Park

November 30, 2022

 

 

 

NFINITE Kim Myung Soo (L) is returning to the small screen in a new drama with Choi Jin Hyuk, “Accounting Firm”. So, what is the drama about, and what are the roles they will be performing? Check out the following reports for the full details.

 

Korean top idol actor Kim Myung Soo, also known as INFINITE L, is finally returning to the small screen. Following his military discharge and successful fan meeting, Kim Myung Soo will be starring in new drama alongside his sunbae Choi Jin Hyuk, titled “Accounting Firm”.

On November 29, Korean media published a report from a broadcast official that MBC’s new drama, “Accounting Firm” has cast Kim Myung Soo as their male lead. Apparently, it coincided with the announcement that Choi Jin Hyun had also received a casting offer for the same new drama.

Agencies of Kim Myung Soo and Choi Jin Hyuk both stated that the actors had received and are now positively reviewing the offer to appear in the “Accounting Firm” new drama. Therefore, if both actors accept the offers, it will be the first time Kim Myung Soo and Choi Jin Hyuk appear together on the same small screen.

 

Just as the title suggests, “Accounting Firm” new drama will depict the stories surrounding an accounting company: Taeil Accounting Firm.

INFINITE Kim Myung Soo (L) will take on the role of Jang Ho Woo in the new drama. In Taeil Accounting Firm, Jang Ho Woo is the only person who graduated merely from high school. This new drama will then show the development of Kim Myung Soo’s character, Jang Ho Woo, and his dedication as a young and growing accountant.

 

At the same time, Choi Jin Hyuk will play the role of Kim Myun Soo sunbae in Taeil Accounting Firm. Although we still don’t know his character’s name just yet, explanations stated that Choi Jin Hyuk will act the role of a senior manager with 12 years of experience in the accounting field.

 

This “Accounting Firm” MBC new drama is a production by Tiger Studio in collaboration with Image Nine Comm. And it will be under the supervision of director Kim Chil Bong, who previously worked on “The Second Husband” and “Everybody Says Kungddari”.

Feb 6, 2023

by S. Nam

 

INFINITE members Kim Myung Soo (L) and Sungyeol will be starring in a new drama together!

 

On February 6, SPOTV News reported that Kim Myung Soo and Sungyeol will be reuniting through MBC’s new drama “Accounting Firm” (literal title).

In response to the reports, Kim Myung Soo and Sungyeol’s agency Management 2sang shared, “Kim Myung Soo and Lee Sung Yeol will be starring in ‘Accounting Firm’ together.”

 

As the title suggests, “Accounting Firm” tells the various stories that unfold within an accounting firm. Kim Myung Soo will be playing the role of Jang Ho Woo, the first and only high school graduate accountant to join Taeil Accounting Firm, with the drama highlighting Jang Ho Woo’s story of fulfilling the justice he dreams of. Sungyeol will be playing the role of Shim Hyung Woo, who becomes the accounting firm’s Deals Director after overcoming his difficult family environment.

 

Previously, Choi Jin Hyuk was reported to be in talks for the role of a senior manager at the firm who has been working as an accountant for 12 years. Yeonwoo and Choi Min Soo have also reportedly been offered roles in the drama.

 

After debuting together as members of INFINITE in 2010, Kim Myung Soo and Sungyeol both eventually signed with Management 2sang after parting ways with Woollim Entertainment.

 

“Accounting Firm” is slated to air in the first half of next year. Stay tuned for more updates on the drama!

Actors Myung-Soo Kim and Jin-Hyuk Choi have confirmed their appearances in MBC's new drama 'Numbers: Observers in the Building Forest'.

 

http://talkimg.imbc.com/TVianUpload/tvian/TViews/image/2023/02/09/0fd300e1-7e3b-4be9-9145-4600bb8d1fad.jpg

 

MBC's new drama 'Numbers: Watchers in the Building Forest' scheduled to air in the first half of this year (director Kim Chil-bong/scripts Jeong An, Oh Hye-seok/production Tiger Studios, A2G Entertainment) is a high school graduate accountant Jang Ho-woo who fights against the absurdities of a giant accounting firm. It is a human office action drama that realizes justice in a way that is not like an accountant. It is the first work that sheds light on the world of accounting firms and accountants, foreshadowing the birth of a drama that will provide a genre-like pleasure that can feel more exhilarating and exhilarating catharsis than ever before.

 

Among them, Kim Myung-soo and Choi Jin-hyeok, who have demonstrated a unique presence in each work, confirmed their appearances, raising expectations. First, Kim Myung-soo chose ‘Numbers: Observers of the Building Forest’ (hereinafter referred to as ‘Numbers’) as his first work after being discharged from the military. Jang Ho-woo, played by Kim Myung-soo, is the first and only high school graduate accountant who joined Taeil Accounting Firm, one of the Big 4 accounting firms in Korea. He has excellent memory, observation, and an innate sense for numbers, which are essential for accountants, as well as an excellent improvisational ability. Regardless of genre, Kim Myung-soo, who has shown three-dimensional character digestion power that doubles the charm of each character in each work, believes that the most important value is a person and through this work, he plans to realistically portray the role of Jang Ho-woo, who is equipped with a sense of justice.

 

Choi Jin-hyeok, who returns to his main job after a long absence, takes on the role of Han Seung-jo, the only son of the vice president of Taeil Accounting Firm. In the play, Han Seung-jo has a good family, a good academic background, and a good character, so he has everything without lacking enough to be called a 'swindler'. Choi Jin-hyeok, who has demonstrated a wide acting spectrum by demonstrating excellent acting skills in various genres, is raising expectations for what kind of acting potential he will unleash through the role of Han Seung-jo.

 

The production team of 'Numbers', who built a reliable casting lineup with the confirmation of Kim Myung-soo and Choi Jin-hyuk, said, "It is a strong casting just by the presence of the two actors. The perfect synchro rate between actors and characters, as well as what kind of ensemble will be completed when the two actors breathe together, that synergy seems to be the first attractive point unique to 'Numbers'. We ask for your interest and expectations.”

Meanwhile, MBC's new drama 'Numbers: Observers of the Building Forest' is scheduled to air in the first half of this year.
