Uncle Sam Sik: Parasite star Song Kang Ho to star in his first Korean drama in 32 years
According to Korean media portal Soompi, the new drama series tells the story of desire and bromance of two men, Uncle Sam Sik and Kim San, who survived the turbulent period of the early 1960s in Korea. The drama will mark Song Kang Ho and director Shin Yeon Sik’s third collaboration after working together on two upcoming projects One Win and Cobweb (working titles) in succession.
Starring Song Kang Ho, One Win will be Korea’s first volleyball film, which director Shin Yeon Sik took charge of directing, writing, and producing, per the report. Director Shin Yeon Sik also co-produced and participated in the script writing for the film Cobweb, which is directed by Kim Ji Woon.
A source from the production company Slingshot Studio remarked, “Sam Sik, the main character of the 10-part drama series ‘Uncle Sam Sik,’ has a diverse narrative. Needless to say, it is expected that actor Song Kang Ho will breathe life into this character with exuberance. We will produce and present a high quality well-made drama to the viewers.”
On the work front, Song Kang Ho made his film debut in The Day a Pig Fell into the Well.
