Brewing a new original series, Netflix announces Woo Do Hwan, Lee Yoo Mi, Oh Jung Se and Kim Hae Sook to headline the project.
Mr. Plankton threads on the story of an unhappy woman who is forced to accompany a man who was born in the wrong place by mistake, on the last trip of his life.
In the drama, Woo Do Hwan takes the role of Hae-jo, a man who was wrongly born and had to choose a life of wandering without a family. One day, Hae-jo, who is not loved anywhere, finds news that will shake his life, and Hae-jo decides to find his father. The actor previously appeared in Bloodhounds and Joseon Attorney.
Next, Lee Yoo Mi portrays Jo Jae-mi, the world’s most unlucky bride-to-be. Defying her fate, she suddenly joins Haejo on a strange journey. The talented actress rose to mainstream success for her roles in Squid Game and All Of Us Are Dead.
Oh Jung Se, a popular versatile actor who boasted perfect character digestion through his works such as Seoul Vibe, Switch, Revenant, Uncle and It’s Okay To Not Be Okay plays the role of Eo-heung.
To overcome the opposition of the elders in the family, he even brings out the hidden card of pregnancy before marriage and to make the marriage with Jae-mi successful.
Interestingly, on the day of the wedding, Jae-mi disappears with Haejo right in front of his eyes. From there, Eo-heung leaves the house to chase the two to the ends of the earth.
Beom Ho-ja, the mother of Eo-heung is portrayed by Kim Hae Sook (Tomorrow, Under The Queen’s Umbrella), who is considered one of Korea’s leading seasoned actresses with a wide acting spectrum.
Ho-ja became the daughter-in-law at the age of 17, enduring all sorts of mischief and notice, and now exudes fearsome force and spirit as the head of a small and medium-sized business. She is furious at the fact that her prospective daughter-in-law’s fun, which she accepted just because she thought she was pregnant is gone. She does everything she can to catch her.
Mr. Plankton is written by Yong Yong, who penned It’s Okay To Not Be Okay. Steering the project is director Hong Jong-chan who worked on the Netflix series Juvenile Justice and the drama Dear My Friends.
