Some iconic Korean movie stars will cross over to the small screen amid the changing landscape of the entertainment industry, where content streaming services are now at the forefront of big-budget TV series.
Song Kang-ho, who won the best actor prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival for his performance in Broker, will star in a TV series titled Uncle Sam Shik (working title), whose detailed cast and production schedule have not yet been revealed.
Set in the early 1960s, the 10-episode series follows two men – Sam Shik and Kim San (Byun Yo-han) – through their bromance and the obstacles they face during a turbulent period in Korean history.
