Byun Yo Han, Lee Kyu Hyung, and Seo Hyun Woo will be joining Song Kang Ho in “Uncle Sam Sik” (literal title), his first television series in 32 years!
The drama is set to tell the story of the desire and bromance of two men, Uncle Sam Sik and Kim San, who survived the turbulent times in the early 1960s in Korea.
Song Kang Ho has already been confirmed to play the role of Uncle Sam Sik, and a whole new lineup of talented cast members has also been confirmed to fill the additional roles.
Byun Yo Han has been cast as the second main character Kim San, a top elite student from the Korea Military Academy and a recipient of the Albright scholarship. While he is training in the United States, he changes his major to economics and returns to Korea with the dream of changing the country to an industrial economy. However, he returns only to fall into despair at the reality of the situation and meets Uncle Sam Sik who tells him that they have the same dream and that they will achieve that dream together.
Byun Yo Han has gained attention for his stellar performance in the movie “Hansan: Rising Dragon,” and many are looking forward to his appearance beside Song Kang Ho in a fiery battle of superb acting skills.
Lee Kyu Hyung will be taking on the role of Kang Sung Min, a candidate to be the next leader. After using Uncle Sam Sik to fulfill his desires and achieve his goals, he abandons Uncle Sam Sik. A major factor as to why Uncle Sam Sik becomes so interested in Kim San is due to his disdain for Kang Sung Min. Lee Kyu Hyung has appeared in works such as “Prison Playbook” and “Voice 4,” making a masterpiece of any work he comes across. Now, he will be once again be reborn as a character of cold desire in “Uncle Sam Sik.”
Seo Hyun Woo will be playing the elite army soldier Jeong Han Min who went to train alongside Kim San as another recipient of the Albright scholarship. But unlike Kim San, Jeong Han Min stays and trains hard in the hopes of one day reforming the military. However, he too eventually comes to crash against the looming wall of reality. Seo Hyun Woo is known for being a scene-stealer in his many projects including the movies “Decision to Leave” and “Honest Candidate 2” as well as the drama “Flower of Evil.” His stellar acting skills are expected to shine through once again as he joins the “Uncle Sam Sik” cast.
While the specific details of “Uncle Sam Sik” and its production are still being worked out, the anticipation and excitement are already high as people look forward to what will surely be another masterpiece.
