Netflix confirms it is producing the Korean crime drama series “Paper Man” (working title). The project stars Cho Jung-seok, Park Hae-soo, and Claudia Kim. The series is directed by Lee Il-hyung, who previously directed “Karma” and “A Violent Prosecutor.”
“Paper Man” centers on Cha Myung-jo, a quiet, downtrodden man who works at a company that produces imitation character stickers. Although he is nominally the head of his household, he lives in the shadow of his circumstances. The Hollywood Reporter adds that the character’s ability to make high-quality counterfeit items becomes the basis for his involvement in a dangerous new world.
The announcements describe the series as a crime drama and place it within Netflix’s expanding slate of Korean-language original programming. Netflix has not, in the provided accounts, specified a release date or detailed additional cast beyond the three leads.
