Jang Ki Yong, Cha Seung Won, Park Hee Soon, Roh Jeong Eui, and Kim Dae Myung will be starring in a new drama together!
Based on a webtoon by “Sweet Home” writer Kim Carnby, “Pigpen” (working title) is a mystery thriller drama that unfolds as Jin Woo (Jang Ki Yong), who is shipwrecked on a deserted island, tries to recall his memories in order to survive from a mysterious family.
Jang Ki Yong will make a drastic transformation into Jin Woo, who loses his memories and steps foot on a strange island. In order to escape from the peculiar family, he reawakens his forgotten memories and faces a great secret. Jang Ki Yong remarked, “I enjoyed the project ‘Pigpen,’ and my character is so interesting. I started with heart-fluttering excitement and the belief that I will be able to make a great project with great senior actors and production team. I will do my best to complete a cool project.”
Cha Seung Won will play the role of the pension’s owner who follows the voice of God. As the owner of the only pension on a remote island, he will close in on Jin Woo with his extraordinary aura, raising questions about what secret he is hiding. Cha Seung Won remarked, “‘Pigpen’ is of a unique genre that I had yet to see before, so I was strongly drawn to that aspect. Since it’s a genre that I’ve always wanted to do at least once, I’m looking forward to what project will result.”
Park Hee Soon will take on the role of Bae Jung Ho, who tenaciously and desperately searches for traces of his missing son. The actor shared, “I’m very grateful to be able to participate in a series based on a popular webtoon. I will work hard to deliver new narratives and emotions, adding to the thrill and mystery the original project has. Please look forward to it.”
Roh Jeong Eui will transform into the pension’s mysterious eldest daughter Romi. She stays by Jin Woo’s side and tries to lure him into leaving the island. Previewing a powerful acting transformation, Roh Jeong Eui shared, “I’m happy and nervous to be able to make a good project with actors whom I like so much. I’ll work hard to prepare.”
Kim Dae Myung will play the pension’s suspicious employee Jin Tae Hee. Although he appears to be silently doing everything the owner tells him to, he endlessly drops hints on escape to Jin Woo. Kim Dae Myung shared, “I want to properly convey the new intense emotions I felt while preparing for the project after receiving the script. I will greet viewers with a very interesting project after preparing well with the director and actors, whom I respect, until the filming ends.”
“Pigpen” is gearing up to premiere in 2025. Stay tuned for updates!
