On Monday, November 13, it was reported that Doh Kyung Soo (better known as EXO's D.O.) and Ji Chang Wook are currently in talks to potentially star in the upcoming drama Sculptured City (literal title). As per Soompi, the project reportedly has a production cost of 35 billion won (approximately P1.48M).
D.O.'s new agency Company Soosoo swiftly responded to the news report: "Sculptured City is a project [D.O.] is positively reviewing." Ji Chang Wook's agency Spring Company also released a statement: "[Ji Chang Wook] received an offer, and he is positively reviewing it."
Here's what we know about Sculptured City so far:
What is the plot of Sculptured City?
Sculptured City is an upcoming thriller series about an ordinary man (Ji Chang Wook) whose life is turned upside-down after being manipulated by a designer (D.O.). Chang Wook's character is out for revenge, and wants to make D.O.'s character pay. If both actors accept the project, then Sculptured City will be D.O.'s first time playing an antagonist!
Who are the people involved in Sculptured City?
The main cast has yet to be confirmed, so aside from D.O. and Ji Chang Wook "positively reviewing" the offer no actors have been attached to the project. Kim Chang Joo will reportedly be directing Sculptured City, and is known for his work on 2021's thriller film Hard Hit. Joining him is scriptwriter Oh Sang Ho, who counts the Taxi Driver series and as one of his many successes.
Ji Chang Wook is preparing for his upcoming K-drama Welcome to Samdalri, where he stars opposite Shin Hye Sun. He is famous for his roles in Healer, The K2, Suspicious Partner, Backstreet Rookie, and The Worst of Evil.
Meanwhile, D.O. made his acting debut with a supporting role in the 2014 movie Cart. He's since made memorable appearances in TV series like 100 Days My Prince and Bad Prosecutor, and films including My Annoying Brother, Room No.7, and The Moon. This 2023 he is also a cast member on variety shows No Math School Trip and GBRB: Reap What You Sow.
