Actor Song Kang Ho will finally grace the small screen for the first time in his career that spans over three decades.
The “Parasite” actor will lead the cast of the upcoming drama series “Uncle Sam Sik.” It centers on the story of desire and friendship between characters named Uncle Sam Sik and Kim San during the turbulent times of Korea in the first half of the 1960s.
According to a source from Slingshot Studio, the production company responsible for the new TV drama, Song Kang Ho will portray the lead character in the story.
“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,” the source stated.
