The upcoming mystery thriller drama “No Way Out: The Roulette” has revealed more cast lineup!
“No Way Out: The Roulette” is an upcoming drama that depicts the fierce confrontation between “those who want to kill” and “those who want to survive” amidst the situation where a bounty of 20 billion won (approximately $14.7 million) is placed for the murder of a heinous criminal who is released from prison.
Originally slated to portray the lead character Baek Joong Sik, the late actor Lee Sun Gyun withdrew from the project following drug-related allegations and his untimely passing.
Subsequently, Jo Jin Woong has assumed the role of Baek Joong Sik, a detective who finds himself in the ironic position of having to protect the notorious criminal Kim Gook Ho. Yoo Jae Myung plays Kim Gook Ho, the ex-convict now targeted for nationwide execution after his 13-year imprisonment.
Other key characters include those who seek to use the public assassination offer for their own purposes. Kim Moo Yeol plays Lee Sang Bong, Kim Gook Ho’s legal representative and lawyer. Driven by ambitions to achieve success in this corrupt world, Lee Sang Bong volunteers to become Kim Gook Ho’s lawyer. Yum Jung Ah portrays Ahn Myung Ja, the two-faced mayor of Hosan, who, upon facing the demise of her political career, sees Kim Gook Ho as her last hope and decides to use him.
Sung Yoo Bin stars as Seo Dong Ha, Kim Gook Ho’s son and a prodigious violinist burdened by the stigma of being a murderer’s son. Greg Han will star as Mr. Smile, a seasoned and ruthless killer who comes to Korea to kill Kim Gook Ho. Notably, this will mark his first debut in a Korean drama.
Lee Kwang Soo portrays Yoon Chang Jae, a butcher aiming to claim the substantial financial reward by killing Kim Gook Ho. Lastly, Kim Sung Cheol joins the ensemble as Sung Joon Woo, a young pastor who wields his influence over the believers of his huge church.
“No Way Out: The Roulette” will premiere on U+Mobile TV in July.
