Actors Jang Ki-yong and Oh Jung-se are poised to strike the living rooms next year with “The Law of LINE.”

MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama “The Law of LINE” (directed by Kim Sung-yong / written by Eun Gi-baek) is a practical introduction to corporate politics, following Tark Do-il (played by Jang Ki-yong), a bank employee with no connections or backing, who shakes up the bank’s throne with his uncanny political savvy that can turn poison into an elixir. The series generates high anticipation as it brings together Director Kim Sung-yong, who has demonstrated powerful directing skills through dramas such as “Black Sun” and “Lovers,” and a writing team behind numerous hit works including the “Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim” series and “The World of the Married.”

In particular, according to the casting lineup revealed on the 19th, Jang Ki-yong and Oh Jung-se have joined forces, further fueling interest.

First, in the drama, Jang Ki-yong takes on the role of Tark Do-il, a master of corporate politics and the aspirational figure for “black ties.” A graduate of a regional university with no connections or backing, this character overturns the internal power game and shatters the LINE through his uncanny political acumen alone.

Oh Jung-se plays Cheon Gyeong-ho, the vice president of the sales group at Nara Bank. As the protagonist of a high school graduate’s success story, Cheon Gyeong-ho is currently mentioned as a strong candidate for the next bank president. Standing at the center of the game for the throne at Nara Bank, Cheon Gyeong-ho engages in a precarious battle of wits with Tark Do-il. The power-driven character of Cheon Gyeong-ho is expected to add the unique genre appeal of an office political noir to “The Law of LINE.”

The production team stated, “A premium production crew that guarantees a high-quality work has come together, including Jang Ki-yong, Oh Jung-se, Director Kim Sung-yong, and creator writer Kang Eun-kyung.” They expressed confidence, saying, “‘The Law of LINE’ is set to overturn the vicious office ecosystem through thrilling brain games in a corporate power game where connections, factions, betrayal, and scheming are the default, drawing empathy from office workers and providing them with a satisfying sense of vicarious fulfillment.”

“The Law of LINE” will air in the first half of 2027.
