The (adorably baby-faced) Park Ki-woong) is the latest addition to the drama Story of a Man, which follows Boys Before Flowers on KBS.

The 24-year-old, most recently of cable drama Seoul Warrior Story and last year’s romantic-comedy series Love & Marriage, joins already cast actors Park Yong-ha (The Scam), Park Shi-yeon (La Dolce Vita), and Philip Lee (Legend) in this revenge drama.

The series sets its story in the world of cutthroat corporations (mergers and acquisitions specialists, to be exact); Park Ki-woong’s character is a bit of an eccentric, but aids Park Yong-ha’s character in the latter’s plan to avenge his ruined father. More than the cast or director, however, Story of a Man will be an interesting drama to keep an eye out for on account of its scriptwriter, Song Ji-nah of Sandglass and Legend.

None of the actors strikes me as particularly stand-out on their own, although put together it’s a decent cast. Park Ki-woong is still a relatively new face, but I did enjoy him in Love & Marriage and When Night Comes, and it’ll be interesting to see if he develops into a more well-rounded actor with this serious role, instead of being just another pretty face.

The story seems good, but I'm watching it because of scriptwriter Song Jin Ah because I really enjoyed both Legend and Sandglass (one of my first ultimate favorites)

Thank you for the news update~ ^o^

Indeed hard to really take him seriously with that face, even in When its at Night his character more cute than anything else, even with his fighting skills.
Of course that hardly his fault he was born with that face..lol so lets hope now he been given a chance at a more serious role he can bring it off well.

I LOVED him in My Tutor Friend 2. I mean, he was one of the main reasons why I thought the second one was soo much better than the first (although, the first wasn't a beauty to begin with).

I wanted to see more of him so I'm glad...
