SBS’s upcoming drama “Connection” has shared photos from its script reading!
“Connection” is a new crime thriller starring Ji Sung as Jang Jae Kyung, a well-respected detective who is the ace of the narcotics unit. Jeon Mi Do will star as Oh Yoon Jin, an opinionated and outspoken reporter who works at a newspaper. The drama is a collaboration between director Lee Tae Gon and writer Lee Hyun, who previously worked together for JTBC’s “Diary of a Prosecutor.”
Ji Sung plays detective Jang Jae Kyung, the leader of the narcotics team at Anhyun Police Station, who is respected by his juniors and trusted by his seniors within the police force. Ji Sung exuded a charismatic aura in scenes where his character dealt with criminals, but in scenes depicting drug addiction, he delivered a chilling performance by depicting complex emotions and erratic breathing.
Jeon Mi Do displayed strong presence while in character as Oh Yoon Jin, a reporter in the social affairs department of Anhyun Economic Daily. During the script reading, Ji Sung and Jeon Mi Do created an exciting atmosphere with their performances, raising anticipation for their acting chemistry.
Meanwhile, Kwon Yool perfectly portrayed the character of prosecutor Park Tae Jin, who is known as the brain among his friends, with his glasses and cold tone of voice.
Kim Kyung Nam exuded a powerful aura through his portrayal of villain Won Jong Soo, the vice chairman of Geum Hyun Group, who has both money and power.
Finally, Jung Soon Won delivered a hilarious performance as Heo Joo Song, the cheerful and friendly CEO of Two Star Holdings.
The production team of “Connection” commented, ”’Connection’ is a well-made drama that has artistic quality, timeliness, and a strong message. During the script reading, we became convinced that ‘Connection’ has the potential to follow the success formula of SBS’s Friday-Saturday dramas. We ask that you cheer us on until our upcoming premiere date.”
“Connection” will premiere on SBS in May.
