Helmed by the renowned director Oh Choong Hwan, who is also the genius behind top rating K-dramas such as "Start-Up" and "Hotel del Luna," he is working alongside screenwriters Jang Young Chul and Jung Kyung Soon.

Lee Jong Suk will take on the role of Park Chang Ho, a struggling lawyer with only a 10 percent success rate.

Meanwhile, SNSD's Yoona portrays Park Chang Ho's wife, Go Mi Ho, a nurse who strives to clear her husband's name after dealing with a false accusation.
Following the confirmation of lead stars, the "Big Mouth" release date is slated to broadcast in 2022.
