“How to Become a Building Owner” Promises Suspense and Complex Relationships with Kim Jun-han and Ha Jung-woo
A gripping new drama, “How to Become a Building Owner in Korea,” is set to premiere on March 14th, offering a suspenseful narrative centered around debt, family, and a desperate act. The tvN series explores the lengths one man will go to protect what he holds dear, even if it means staging a fake kidnapping.
A Story of Desperation and Family
“How to Become a Building Owner,” also referred to as “Building Owner,” depicts the struggles of a building owner grappling with significant debt. The plot thickens as he resorts to a fabricated kidnapping scheme in a bid to safeguard his family and his livelihood – possessions he values above all else. The series promises a compelling exploration of morality and the pressures of financial hardship.
Kim Jun-han and Ha Jung-woo Headline the Cast
Kim Jun-han takes on the role of Min Hyeong-hyeong, a close friend of Ki Soo-jong, portrayed by Ha Jung-woo. The dynamic between these two characters is expected to be a central element of the show, adding layers of complexity to the unfolding drama.
Min Hyeong-hyeong’s backstory reveals a man who leveraged his appearance and charisma to marry Jeon Yi-kyung (played by Jeong Soo-jeong), the daughter of a wealthy family. However, a series of unsuccessful investments and business ventures have diminished his standing within the family.
A Complicated Friendship Fuels the Plot
The narrative highlights a subtle rivalry between Min Hyeong-hyeong and Ki Soo-jong. Despite outwardly dismissing his friend, who is patiently awaiting the redevelopment of his property, Min Hyeong-hyeong frequently jokes about purchasing the building. This underlying tension, fueled by Min Hyeong-hyeong’s desire for recognition from his wife and mother-in-law, drives him to seek opportunities – often leading to trouble and escalating his precarious situation.
According to a production team member, “Min Hyung-hyeong’s desire makes things complicated and puts Ki Soo-jong in danger.” The complex relationship between the two friends is poised to significantly heighten the drama’s intrigue.
First Look Reveals Character Depth
Recently released still cuts showcase Kim Jun-han’s transformation into the confident, yet troubled, Min Hyeong-hyeong. The images depict a duality in his character – radiating affection towards his wife, Jeon Yi-kyung, while simultaneously exhibiting a nervous and preoccupied demeanor. These contrasting portrayals hint at the internal conflicts driving his actions.
The production team anticipates that Kim Jun-han’s performance will be a standout element of the series, leaving a lasting impression on viewers. “Please look forward to how Min Hyeong-hyung will resolve what he has done and the performance of Kim Jun-han, who will leave a strong presence through ‘Building Owner’,” a representative stated.
“How to Become a Building Owner in Korea” will premiere on tvN on Saturday, March 14th at 9:10 PM KST.
