Choi Tae Joon And Yang Hye Ji To Join Kim Jung Hyun And Geum Sae Rok In New Drama

Drama

Jul 30, 2024

by E Ezeji

Choi Tae Joon and Yang Hye Ji will be joining KBS2’s upcoming weekend drama “Iron Family” (literal translation)!

Penned by screenwriter Seo Sook Hyang of “Pasta,” “Don’t Dare to Dream” (also known as “Jealousy Incarnate”), and “Wok of Love,” “Iron Family” is a dark comedy about a family that has run a laundry business for three generations. The drama was previously confirmed to star Kim Jung Hyun, Geum Sae Rok, Kim Young Ok, Park In Hwan, Shin Hyun Joon, Park Ji Young, and Kim Hye Eun.

Kim Jung Hyun will play Seo Kang Joo, the son of the richest family in the Cheongryeom neighborhood and the executive director of Jiseung Group. Geum Sae Rok will star as Lee Da Rim, the youngest daughter of the Cheongnyeom Laundry family. One day, Lee Da Rim reunites with Seo Kang Joo, with whom she shares unforgettable memories, for the first time in eight years.  The comedic chemistry between Kang Joo, who values human relationships over money, and Da Rim, who doesn’t tolerate sympathy, is one of the main highlights of “Iron Family.”

Joining this stellar cast are Choi Tae Joon and Yang Hye Ji, who will bring their solid acting skills and diverse charms to the drama.

Choi Tae Joon will play Cha Tae Woong, a part-time worker at Cheongnyeom Laundry. Abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage, Tae Woong must live life on his own after becoming an adult. Thanks to his friendly and kind personality, he is treated like family by the Cheongnyeom Laundry household. When Tae Woong sees Kang Joo hitting on Da Rim, he starts to protect her like an older brother. The ensuing tension between Kim Jung Hyun’s and Choi Tae Joon’s characters will be another reason to look forward to the drama.

Yang Hye Ji will play the role of Lee Cha Rim, the second daughter of Cheongnyeom Laundry. Cha Rim, who is known as the beauty of the Cheongryeom neighborhood, is a member of the MZ generation who is as bold in her love life as she is in her fashion sense. She has a huge affection deficit due to her mother only caring for her younger sister Da Rim, but she uses this weakness as her driving force and actively carves out an independent life for herself. Cha Rim, who loves clothes, becomes a designer at Jiseung Group and constantly clashes with her boss, Kang Joo. The relationship between this elder sister, who always had to yield to her sickly younger sibling, and her younger sister, who feels guilty for her family’s sacrifices, is expected to resonate with viewers.

“Iron Family” is set to premiere in September.

Iron Family confirms its cast lineup including Kim Jung Hyun, Choi Tae Joon, Yang Hye Ji, and Geum Sae Rok. 

Iron Family is a black comedy that tells the story of Lee Da Rim (Geum Sae Rok), a daughter of a wealthy family that has been running the Cheongryeom Laundry for 3 generations, and Seo Kang Joo (Kim Jung Hyun), the son of the richest family in the Cheongryeom neighborhood. 

 Kim Jung Hyun portrays Seo Gang Ju, the son of Cheongryeom neighborhood's richest family and the managing director of Jisung Group. 

Actress Geum Sae Rok plays Lee Da Rim, the youngest daughter of Cheongryeom Laundry, who, after a memorable encounter with Gang Ju just before his military enlistment, reunites with him after eight years.

 

 

Choi Tae Joon takes on the role of Cha Tae Woong, a part-time worker at Cheongryeom Laundry. Abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage, Tae Woong grows up alone in the world. Because of his cheerful and affectionate demeanor, he is like family to the Cheongryeom Laundry family.

Yang Hye Ji plays Lee Cha Rim, the second daughter of the Cheongryeom Laundry family. She grew up hearing compliments like "Cheongnyeom-dong's beauty", but gets less of her mother's affection, who cares more for Da Rim.

However, Cha Rim turns this weakness into an opportunity to lead an independent life. Working as a designer at Jisung Group, she constantly clashes with her eccentric boss, Gang Ju.

Da Rim and Cha Rim are very close to each other but share a bittersweet relationship. Seeing the dynamics between the older sister, who always had to make concessions for her sick younger sibling, and the youngest sibling, who has felt guilty seeing the family sacrifice for her, is expected to evoke empathy from viewers.

Iron Family is set to premiere in September.

KBS2’s upcoming weekend drama “Iron Family” has shared new stills Geum Sae Rok!

Penned by screenwriter Seo Sook Hyang of “Pasta,” “Don’t Dare to Dream” (also known as “Jealousy Incarnate”), and “Wok of Love,” “Iron Family” is a dark comedy about a family that has run a laundry business for three generations.

Geum Sae Rok stars as Lee Da Rim, the youngest daughter of Cheongnyeom Laundry family. Da Rim, who has had a rare illness since she was 14 that progressively narrows her vision, is a strong and determined character who rejects sympathy. While she holds onto hope of restoring her sight, she faces a significant challenge due to the high cost of surgery.

Newly released stills showcase Geum Sae Rok’s dramatic transformation, capturing viewers’ attention with a clear contrast between her past and present. Unlike her innocent look from eight years ago, she now sports a fresh, short haircut that highlights her charm. There is increasing curiosity about the reason for her sudden and striking change.

Da Rim’s dual nature, shown through her troubled expression and bright smile, is compelling. It sparks curiosity about what has caused her struggle despite her cheerful personality.

 

Deeply immersed in her role as Lee Da Rim, Geum Sae Rok is set to portray this complex character who, despite her illness, keeps her smile. There is also increasing interest in how her character will interact with Seo Kang Joo (Kim Jung Hyun) and what dramatic twists their relationship might bring.

The production team said, “Geum Sae Rok is dedicated to her role, even cutting her hair for the part. Her outstanding acting skills are expected to bring great depth to the drama.” They also added, “We hope viewers will pay close attention to Da Rim’s backstory and her interactions with the other characters.”
