Netflix has confirmed production of a new series titled 'Paper Man' and announced the casting lineup featuring Jo Jung-suk, Park Hae-soo, and Soo-hyun.

According to a report by Netflix on the 9th, 'Paper Man' is a crime drama about Cha Myung-jo, who has spent his entire life creating fakes and never receiving recognition from anyone, until he produces perfect counterfeit currency and steps into a dangerous world.

'Paper Man' tells the story of Cha Myung-jo, who works at a company producing counterfeit character stickers and feels overshadowed by his capable judge wife, appearing to be the most insignificant person. Through a chance encounter, he creates flawless counterfeit money that no one can distinguish from the real thing, plunging him into an unexpected world. 'Paper Man' will vividly and sharply explore the value of money, human desires, and the boundary between 'real' and 'fake' as defined by society, while adding the tension of a crime thriller to the drama to deliver fresh entertainment. The series will be directed by Lee Il-hyung, known for his distinctive characters and tense storytelling in Netflix series 'Evil Connection' and films 'A Violent Prosecutor' and 'Remember'.

The casting lineup also raises expectations. Jo Jung-suk will play Cha Myung-jo, a man who has lived his entire life without being recognized by anyone. In 'Paper Man', Jo Jung-suk is expected to vividly portray the transformation of a father pushed around by the world and a man awakening to dangerous desires.

Park Hae-soo will play Oh Seung-up, a senior researcher at the Counterfeit Prevention Division of the Korea Minting, Security Printing and ID Card Operating Corporation who stands in Cha Myung-jo's way. Oh Seung-up, portrayed by Park Hae-soo, is a character with cold judgment and persistence, expected to tighten the noose around Cha Myung-jo and heighten the drama's tension.

Soo-hyun will play Ko Hye-seok, Cha Myung-jo's successful wife and an elite judge. She is expected to draw viewers into the story by portraying Ko Hye-seok, who lives with realistic concerns and family fractures beneath her seemingly perfect life.

Meanwhile, 'Paper Man' will be exclusively available on Netflix.
