Four stellar actors will come together in a project. Veteran stars Sung Dong Il and Oh Jung Se have been confirmed to join Jun Ji Hyun and Ju Ji Hoon in the upcoming "Jiri Mountain"!
The upcoming new drama will be directed by Lee Eung Bok, who helmed "Mr. Sunshine" and "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" (also known as "Goblin"), and will collaborate with writer Kim Eun Hee, known for her work "Kingdom". Jun Ji Hyun and Ju Ji Hoon will work as partners in navigating the mountain.
"Jiri Mountain" is a story of park rangers who work to rescue people at Mount Jiri National Park, the second-tallest mountain in South Korea. Sung Dong Il will play the character of Dae Jin Cho, the branch director of the Haedong branch office in Jirisan National Park. He is being named as "Jirisan Man" who spent half a lifetime dedicating his time in Jiri mountain.
Dae Jin Cho has a strong commitment to being a top park ranger. His mission is to protect and be responsible with his junior rangers. This will surely be a true persona of actor Sung Dong Il by showing his acting presence inside and outside the camera.
Oh Jung Se, on the other hand, will play as Jung Gu Young, an extreme realistic ranger. He lives life with the perception of: "I live now and only in the south." He takes a knife every time he goes to work, takes vacations, and enjoys tea rituals.
This will be another transformation of Oh Jung Se that he will immerse in, making fans more excited. Any character he takes in adds a new life in any drama.
The production crew are excited and shared, "There are no words to explain how these actors will play since we have great trust just by saying the names of Sung Dong Il and Oh Jung Se."
"Jiri Mountain" (working title) will be set to air in early 2021.
