JTBC set to unveil The Dream Life of Mr. Kim, a webtoon adaptation that promises to be as funny as it is touching. Scheduled for release on October 25, the drama highlights the journey of a middle-aged man who discovers that his true worth lies not in his professional status, but in self-acceptance.
A confident manager... until the fall
Ryu Seung-ryong plays Kim Nak-soo, head of ACT's Sales 1 team. Regarded by his superior as the company's "No. 1 treasure", he relishes his success and sees himself promoted the following year. But his self-confidence crumbles when a group of young colleagues quickly overtake him. Between unprecedented mistakes, reproaches from his superiors and sighs from his subordinates, his image as a pillar of the company crumbles, leaving him on a slippery slope.
Perseverance and questioning
Despite the humiliations, Kim Nak-soo clings to his motto: "Show your abilities." Behind his bravura smile and glasses of soju to drown his frustrations, he's fighting to regain his place and prove that he's not finished. But more than just a promotion, his journey may well lead him to rediscover what really matters in life.
With a mix of humor and emotion, The Dream Life of Mr. Kim promises to resonate with anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of professional life. Watch for the 1st episode on October 25 on jTBC (awaiting an international broadcaster).
