Ji Chang Wook, Jo Woo Jin, Ha Yun Kyung, and BIBI Bring Unique Motives to the Crime Drama 'Gangnam B-Side' Posters

Disney+ is set to make your binge-watching dreams come true with its upcoming original series, “Gangnam B-Side.” This isn’t just your average crime drama. Oh no, it’s a delicious mélange of a detective, a prosecutor, and a mysteriously charming broker, all scurrying about trying to locate one elusive Jae Hee—the shining ace of a club that has mysteriously vanished. Think of it as a once-in-a-lifetime scavenger hunt but with more neon lights and fewer happy endings.

Directed by the talented Park Nu Ri, who has an eye for storytelling as sharp as any of the characters' motivations, this series promises to deliver the kind of tension that makes you grip your remote. Starring a formidable cast including Jo Woo Jin, Ji Chang Wook, Ha Yun Kyung, and BIBI, the stakes are high and the stories even higher. The group poster shows Detective Kang Dong Woo, played by the stalwart Jo Woo Jin, and prosecutor Min Seo Jin, portrayed by the fierce Ha Yun Kyung, embodying the city’s “day” side. Together, they promise an engaging study of contrasts as they dig into the mystery at hand, determined to bring justice to a questionable world.

Kang Dong Woo is not just searching for answers; he’s spirited by a sense of justice that sometimes feels so old-fashioned, you'd think he had just stepped out of a black-and-white film. Meanwhile, Min Seo Jin is eyeing that oh-so-coveted promotion—as if merely solving the case was just a stepping stone on her social ladder. They add layers of complexity and make it impossible not to cheer, or perhaps jeer, for them as the story unfolds.

Now, let’s not forget the “night” side of our tale. Here, we meet the enigmatic broker Yoon Gil Ho, played by Ji Chang Wook. With a scarred face that tells stories of its own and a countenance reminiscent of a resting detective face—or was that just a nap?—he adds an aura of intrigue that is simply palpable. And then there's our club ace, Jae Hee, played by the captivating BIBI. Her untold secrets are like glittering gems just waiting to be unearthed under those neon signs that make Gangnam’s nightlife a world all its own.

The tagline, “The world they play in beneath the world we live in,” is an invitation—not just to the series but to an exploration of dualities that few are brave enough to confront. The individual character posters have surfaced, showcasing the unique charm each lead brings. Jo Woo Jin’s presence as Detective Kang Dong Woo guarantees that he will deliver from his ever-complex internal world—will he solve the mystery and keep his moral compass aligned?

Wish upon a star if you must, but Ji Chang Wook is stepping into the role of Yoon Gil Ho, the Gangnam outlaw. He’s taking risks here, not just with the character’s dubious background, but also with a bold new style that screams transformation. Meanwhile, Ha Yun Kyung’s prosecutor Min Seo Jin is poised to shine in what promises to be a career-defining performance. And always looking off into the distance, as if contemplating life’s greatest questions, is BIBI as Jae Hee—does she hold the pieces that could unravel it all?

Mark your calendars, folks—“Gangnam B-Side” is set to hit the small screen on November 6 via Disney+. But before we trek into this tangled web of intrigue, don’t forget to catch Ji Chang Wook in “If You Wish Upon Me,” and Jo Woo Jin in “Alienoid.” After all, why not prepare for the emotional roller coaster we’re about to embark upon with a little pre-show warm-up?
