Cho Jung-seok, Claudia Kim and Park Hae-soo to Star in Netflix Korean Crime Series ‘Paper Man’

Netflix confirmed production of the Korean crime drama series "Paper Man" (working title) on November 15, 2023, with Cho Jung-seok, Park Hae-soo, and Claudia Kim set to star. The series is directed by Lee Il-hyung and focuses on Cha Myung-jo, a seemingly ordinary employee at a company that manufactures imitation character stickers. Despite his nominal position as head of his household, Cha Myung-jo lives a life overshadowed by others, hinting at a hidden complexity to his character. The narrative is expected to delve into the criminal underworld, a common theme in Korean crime dramas, and explore the motivations and actions of individuals caught within it. The involvement of established actors like Cho Jung-seok, known for his versatile performances, and Park Hae-soo, who gained international recognition for his role in "Squid Game," suggests a high-quality production aiming for global appeal. Claudia Kim, also a familiar face in international productions, further bolsters the cast's star power. The series will be available on Netflix, a platform that has increasingly invested in and distributed Korean content worldwide, contributing to the global popularity of K-dramas.
