Actor Nam Joo Hyuk is set to star in the Disney+ original series 'Code' as his next project, aiming for the global market. This mystery crime thriller centers on a materialistic lawyer who gets entangled in a vast conspiracy after being invited to a mysterious app called 'Code' that grants wishes. Following his successful return with Netflix's 'Donggung', Nam Joo Hyuk is expected to showcase a different charm in this new drama.
'Code' is based on the Taiwanese drama 'Code: Fushide Youxi' and is scheduled for exclusive release on Disney+ in 2027. Directed by Yoo Su-min, known for 'Weak Hero Class 1, 2', the cast includes Nam Joo Hyuk, Lee Yi-dam, Kim Eui-sung, and Park Hoon. The drama follows Yoon Tae-joo (Nam Joo Hyuk), a lawyer who uses illegal and unethical means for success, as he faces choices between desire and reality through the wish-granting app.
Bloggers express high expectations for 'Code' due to its unique premise and Yoo Su-min's directorial prowess. They are particularly interested in how the theme of a 'wish-granting app' will portray modern human desires and psychological conflicts, anticipating a psychological thriller with depth rather than a simple crime procedural. The transformation of Nam Joo Hyuk's character, Yoon Tae-joo, is also highlighted as a key viewing point.
