Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara become Family in tvN’s new comedy
by tccolb
The first script reading stills have dropped for tvN’s new comedy series Family, featuring the main cast led by the iconic re-pairing of Jang Hyuk (Red Heart) and Jang Nara (Sell Your Haunted House).
As the center of our story, the two will be playing the happily married couple Kwon Do-hoon (Jang Hyuk) and Kang Yura (Jang Nara), who have a loving daughter played by Shin Soo-ah.
Although everyone thinks that Do-hoon is a run-of-the-mill corporate employee, he actually works for the government as a secret black ops agent, making it difficult to juggle between his work and home. Still, Yura runs their household like a tight ship and is determined to ensure that they remain a picture perfect family, even if it means concealing secrets of her own.
At work, Do-hoon’s boss is Chae Jung-ahn (King of Pigs) in the role of Oh Chun-ryeon. She enjoys a successful career and the freedom of being single, but she also struggles with loneliness, in addition to the aftermath of her three divorces. Her experiences lead Chun-ryeon to feel sympathetic for our hero and she tries her best to help Do-hoon protect his family.
In supporting roles, the eminent Lee Soon-jae (Behind Every Star) will be playing Do-hoon’s father, while Kim Kang-min’s (The Golden Spoon) character will be Do-hoon’s carefree younger brother, who is married to Yoon Sang-jung (Shooting Stars).
On the production side, scripts were penned by Jung Yoo-sun (That Man, Oh Soo) with directing helmed by PD Jang Jung-do and PD Lee Jung-mok. Notably, this will be Jang Jung-do’s first time as a main PD, but he has a long history of working as an executive producer with recent projects including Alchemy of Souls and Island.
tvN’s Family is currently slated to premiere in April.
