\tNetflix<\/a> has lined up its next Korean crime drama, Paper Man<\/em> (working title), starring Cho Jung-seok, Park Hae-soo and Claudia Kim, from director Lee Il-hyung.<\/p>\n

\tThe series follows Cha Myung-jo (Cho), a downtrodden husband who works at a maker of knockoff character stickers and lives in the shadow of his far more accomplished wife. When he turns out a counterfeit bill so flawless it can\u2019t be told from the real thing, he is pulled into a dangerous world he never imagined. The show is pitched as a crime thriller laced with drama and humor, exploring \u201cthe value of money, human desire and the thin line between what is considered \u2018real\u2019 and \u2018fake\u2019 in society.\u201d \t<\/p>\n

\tThe project reunites Lee with Park, who starred in the director\u2019s recent Netflix series Karma<\/em>. Lee\u2019s other credits include the 2016 hit A Violent Prosecutor<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\tCho (Hospital Playlist<\/em>) plays the everyman center of the story, whose surprising gift for counterfeiting sets the story in motion. Park, of Squid Game<\/em> and Narco-Saints<\/em> fame, plays Oh Seung-eop, the first deputy director of the Anti-Counterfeiting Division at the Korea Mint and a dogged investigator closing in on Myung-jo. Claudia Kim (Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em>, Gyeongseong Creature<\/em>) plays Ko Hye-seok, Myung-jo\u2019s polished wife and an elite judge whose own dilemmas lurk below the family\u2019s presentable surface.<\/p>\n

\n

\tNetflix said Paper Man <\/em>is now heading into production, but hasn\u2019t revealed a target launch date. <\/p>\n

Netflix unveiled a stacked Korean content slate for 2026<\/a> in January, spanning 33 series and feature films. The company, by far the biggest non-domestic producer of Korean content,\u00a0has continued to add to that lineup in the months since, unveiling titles like rom-com Messily Ever After<\/a><\/em> with Kim Min-ha and Noh Sang-hyun; romance series Long Vacation<\/a><\/em> from Crash Landing on You <\/em>director Lee Jung-hyo; and political thriller The Generals<\/a><\/em> from Narco-Saints <\/em>director Yoon Jong-bin, among others.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
