In an unparalleled shift of gears, actor Kwon Yul is set to unveil a character like no other in the highly anticipated SBS new Friday-Saturday drama, "Connect." Premiering on the night of May 24th, the series weaves a riveting narrative around a drug unit's ace detective, who, after being forcibly addicted to drugs by an unknown assailant, uses his friend's death as a clue to unravel a 20-year saga of corrupted friendships and the dark underbelly of connections that bind them. With a storyline that promises intense drama and heart-pounding suspense, "Connect" stands out as a beacon of storytelling excellence.
Crafted by the masterful duo of writer Lee Hyun, known for his intricately plotted "Diary of a Prosecutor," and director Kim Moon-kyo, who brought "Trolley" to life with his dynamic direction, "Connect" is poised to captivate audiences. The series boasts an ensemble cast that includes the critically acclaimed Ji Sung, Jeon MiDo, Kwon Yul, and Kim KyungNam, whose combined talents are expected to bring depth and intensity to this gripping drama.
Kwon Yul takes on the role of Park Tae-jin, a prosecutor with an astute mind and unparalleled networking skills, marking a daring transformation for the actor. Park Tae-jin emerges as a central figure within the 'inner circle' of friends - a steadfast ally to Won Jong-soo (played by Kim KyungNam) and a formidable opponent to Jang Jae-kyung (Ji Sung) and Oh Yoon-jin (Jeon MiDo). Portraying a character that embodies both the resolver and the villain, Kwon Yul delivers a performance that is both chilling and compelling.
The first glimpse of Kwon Yul as Park Tae-jin has already stirred anticipation among fans. Scenes depicting him coolly managing a funeral while dressed in mourning attire, and displaying sharp, commanding presence as a prosecutor, have showcased Kwon Yul's ability to embody his character's multifaceted nature. "While reading the script, I found myself engrossed in trying to unravel the identity of the culprit, which made me realize how much I wanted to be a part of this project," Kwon Yul shared, highlighting the intrigue surrounding his character, Park Tae-jin.
The production team praised Kwon Yul's transformation, noting, "Kwon Yul becomes a completely different person before and after filming, always managing to surprise us with his intense performance and radical transformation. We eagerly await the audience's reaction to 'Connect's' premiere."
"Connect" promises to be a television event not to be missed, airing at 10 PM on May 24th. As the drama unfolds, viewers can look forward to a story rich in suspense, emotional depth, and unexpected twists that will keep them on the edge of their seats.
