The Han River Police Force drama 'Hangang', produced by content production company Arc Media, will be released exclusively as an original on Disney+ in the second half of this year.
Disney+'s original 'Han River' is a story about the Hangang Police Force, which protects the Han River, becoming embroiled in crimes surrounding the Han River. It is expected to provide fresh entertainment and a variety of eye-opening attractions through the theme of another side of the Han River that we did not know about and the Han River Police Force that protects it.
Actors Kwon Sang-woo and Kim Hee-won play the roles of hot-tempered police officer Han Doo-jin and FM police officer Lee Chun-seok, who have polar opposite tendencies, respectively. The two actors, who already showed off their chemistry by working together once in the movie 'God's Act: The Return of the Demon', are expected to add more fun this time with the cheerful tiki-taka, which bickers due to their opposite personalities but becomes stronger when they work together.
Dona-hee, a police officer with an outspoken personality, is played by Bae Da-bin, who appeared in the drama 'The Present Is Beautiful'. Shin Hyun-seung, who appeared in dramas such as 'Women in the City of Drinkers' and 'Surviving as a Celebrity Manager', played the role of Kim Ji-su, the cute youngest member of the Han River Police Force. Lee Sang-i, who received the spotlight in dramas such as 'I've Been There Once' and 'Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha', plays Go Ki-seok, who adds to the tension in the drama.
Earlier this year, Arc Media introduced the 'Casino' series, which attracted attention by breaking the highest viewing time among Disney+'s Korean original content, and 'Say It's Love', which is touching the hearts of viewers with moist emotions.
