Shocking casting buzz: Actor Kim Jae Wook is reportedly joining one of next year’s most anticipated K-drama projects, keeping his hustle in full swing.
According to OSEN on the 1st, Kim Jae Wook will star in the drama The Compliant Killer, which has recently been confirmed to air on TVING.
The Compliant Killer is an “innocent-noir” series set in the 1970s–1980s. It follows a flower-like woman whose only life goal was to become the perfect housewife, until she takes a job at a suspicious company that promotes women entering the workforce. There, she awakens to a chilling talent: making people disappear without a sound or trace. This bold premise alone is already stirring major curiosity.
With earlier casting reports naming Kim Da-mi, Lee Chung-ah, and Jo Aram—and now scene stealer Kim Jae Wook potentially joining—the lineup looks even more rock-solid.
Netizens reacted with explosive excitement, saying, “Kim Jae Wook is seriously booked and busy these days,” “Just the cast combo screams hit,” and “The premise is so fresh.”
Meanwhile, after turning heads with his mature, smoldering charm in tvN’s weekend drama Filing for Love, which wrapped in May, all eyes are on the explosive acting synergy Kim Jae Wook will create with Kim Da-mi, Lee Chung-ah, and Jo Aram in The Compliant Killer.
