Actor Kim Dae-myeong is joining "Real Men."

According to a StarNews report on the 6th, Kim Dae-myeong has been cast in the new OTT drama "Real Men." Having delivered a powerful villain performance in KBS 2TV's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Completion of Marriage," which premiered on the 4th, he will continue his acting career through "Real Men."

"Real Men" is a work that tells the story of Han Yu-hyun, who starts as an ordinary office worker and climbs to the position of chief executive officer by pursuing only success. It depicts how Han Yu-hyun, who endlessly chased desires, eventually loses everything he loves and returns to his youth when he took job interviews again, starting life anew.

Actor Park Jung-min has been cast as the protagonist Han Yu-hyun, while Bae Sung-woo is positively considering an appearance. Kim Dae-myeong is set to appear as a key character who significantly influences the plot's development. Given his strong presence in "The Completion of Marriage," he is expected to add weight and excitement to the drama with substantial acting in this new work.

Recently, Kim Dae-myeong delivered a passionate performance as No Man-hee in "The Completion of Marriage." In the drama, No Man-hee is a cruel criminal who kidnaps Ko Se-yoon (played by Lee Seol), the wife of Kang Tae-ju (played by Namgoong Min), pushing Kang Tae-ju into extreme situations and driving the tension throughout the series. This has sparked interest in what new face Kim Dae-myeong will show in "Real Men."

Meanwhile, "Real Men" is based on a web novel of the same title. It was also produced as a webtoon in 2020, recording a cumulative global viewership of 470 million and gaining significant popularity. In particular, in Japan, it captured local readers by realistically portraying the joys and sorrows of office workers, even reaching the number one spot in the human drama genre rankings.

Director Kim Hee-won will helm the project. Previously, Kim Hee-won made his directorial debut with "The Light Shop," for which he was nominated for the Directing Award at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, earning recognition for his directing skills. Production will be handled by Studio N, a subsidiary of Naver Webtoon, which has been recognized for its capabilities through consecutive hits such as the Netflix series "Severe Trauma Center" and the film "Zombie Daughter." "Real Men" is scheduled to begin filming later this month.
