posted on by Wonhee Cho
Disney+ unveiled the cast lineup on July 28 for A Man's Man, the live-action series based on the webtoon of the same name.
Jeong-min Park will star as Yoo-hyun Han, with Sung-woo Bae, Ji-hyun Kim, Moon-sung Jung, Sang-hoon Moon, and Min Kim playing members of his product planning team. The cast also includes Jung-eun Lee, Dae-myung Kim, Sang-yi Lee, and special appearances by Seol-hyun Kim and Kwang-soo Lee.
Hee-won Kim, who previously helmed the Disney+ series Light Shop, will direct the series.
Originally created as a web novel by Lucas, A Man's Man was adapted into a webtoon in 2020 and was serialized on Naver Webtoon. The story follows Yoo-hyun Han, an ordinary office worker who rises to become a powerful CEO — only to lose everything in his relentless pursuit of success. After finding himself transported back to his youth during a job interview, he embarks on a second chance at life, confronting regrets and striving to rewrite his future.
With more than 470 million global views, A Man's Man has been translated into English, Japanese, Indonesian, Thai, and other languages. It has particularly resonated with Japanese readers on LINE Manga, where it earned the No. 1 spot in the human drama genre.
The English version of illustrator Dogago's webtoon is available on WEBTOON. There is currently no official English translation of the web novel.
