Cho Jin-woong, he sold his name and his life.

‘Deadman’ released its first trailer.

'Deadman', a crime chase drama based on the world of identity theft and the 'pants boss' world, has released its first trailer. 'Dead Man' is the story of an ace in the business world who makes money by living up to his name, and after being falsely accused of embezzling 100 billion won and being forced to live as a 'dead man', he sets out to track down people who are entangled with just one name and to regain the life that was stolen from them.

The first trailer released today begins with Lee Man-jae (Cho Jin-woong)'s calm expression after being asked, "He died on April 7, 2019. He died, but he was never dead?" Lee Man-jae, who sold his name to live on the edge of life and became an ace in the barge business, raises curiosity as to what story is hidden until he becomes a dead man after being falsely accused of embezzling 100 billion won overnight. Here, Ms. Shim (Kim Hee-ae), the best consultant who controls the political world with her natural resourcefulness, and Gong Hee-joo (Lee Soo-kyung), another person who is chasing Lee Man-jae's whereabouts, appear one after another, and not only their tangled relationship, but also the cat-and-mouse chase surrounding Lee Man-jae's name. It makes you look forward to it.

As attention is being paid to whether Lee Man-jae, who lost everything, will be able to regain his name, as the copy says, "I sold my name and my life," Lee Man-jae's poisonous line, "Even if you can't save me, you can kill everyone." Foretells the unpredictable development and thrilling tension that a crime chase drama will bring.

'Deadman' is attracting attention as the strong debut film of director Ha Jun-won, who co-wrote the screenplay for Bong Joon-ho's masterpiece 'The Host'. Expectations are rising for the meeting of trusted actor Cho Jin-woong, who has captivated the public with his excellent acting sense, veteran actor Kim Hee-ae, who adds class to her work with her perfect character digestion, and next-generation actress Lee Soo-kyung, who shows off her solid acting skills.

‘Deadman’ can be seen in theaters on February 7th.
