The highly anticipated Disney Plus original series, ‘Jogakdosi,’ held its official press conference on November 3, 2025, at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido, Seoul. This new action revenge series brings together a star-studded cast led by Ji ChangWook and Do KyungSoo, promising a thrilling narrative of justice and retribution. The Korean drama is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ on November 5, 2025.
A Star-Studded Cast and Visionary Crew
The upcoming series boasts an impressive lineup, both in front of and behind the camera. ‘Jogakdosi’ is directed by Park ShinWoo and penned by writer Oh SangHo, who is acclaimed for his work on the popular ‘Taxi Driver’ series. The story revolves around Park Taejung (Ji ChangWook), an ordinary man whose life is shattered when he is framed for a heinous crime. His journey for revenge pits him against the formidable and cunning An Yohan (Do KyungSoo), a brilliant CEO who masterminds and fabricates crimes for his elite clients.
The Main Players of this Action Revenge Series
Supporting the two leads is a talented ensemble. Lee KwangSoo takes on the role of Baek Dokyung, a villainous VIP client entangled in An Yohan’s schemes. This marks a notable reunion for Lee KwangSoo and Do KyungSoo, who previously worked together on the drama ‘It’s Okay, That’s Love’. Veteran actor Kim JongSoo plays No Yongshik, Taejung’s mentor from prison, while Jo YoonSoo portrays his daughter, No Eunbi, who becomes a crucial ally in Taejung’s fight for justice. The dynamic between these characters is expected to be a central element of this exciting Korean drama.
The World of ‘Jogakdosi’: A Shared Universe with ‘Fabricated City’
One of the most intriguing aspects of this new Disney Plus original is its connection to a previous work. Writer Oh SangHo has confirmed that ‘Jogakdosi’ shares the same universe as the 2017 action film ‘Fabricated City’, which also starred Ji ChangWook as a man wrongfully accused. This shared world creates a unique narrative layer, expanding on the themes of manipulation and justice. Ji ChangWook’s return to a similar thematic landscape, combined with his recent successful projects on the platform like ‘The Worst of Evil’ and ‘Gangnam B-Side’, solidifies his status as a key figure in Disney+’s growing K-content library, a topic explored in depth by industry analysts examining the streaming service’s market strategy.
What to Expect from the Premiere
‘Jogakdosi’ is set to launch with its first four episodes on November 5, 2025. Following the premiere, two new episodes of the 12-part series will be released weekly. Viewers can anticipate a high-stakes plot filled with intense action sequences and gripping psychological tension as Park Taejung navigates a world designed to crush him. The clash between Ji ChangWook’s desperate hero and Do KyungSoo’s chillingly intelligent antagonist is poised to be a highlight of the television season.
