Gold Land Cast
The other cast members of this upcoming K-drama are Kim Sung Cheol, Lee Hyun Wook, Kim Hee Won, Moon Jung Hee, and Lee Kwang Soo. Sung Cheol will play Jang Wook, a member of a loan shark ring known as Woo Gi.

Jang Wook approaches Hee Joo, pretending to help her, but his true motive behind the action remains unknown.
Actor Kim Sung Cheol said Woo Gi is a challenging character with complexity and suspense. Although Woo Gi appears to be trustworthy, he is always a step from betrayal. The actor teased exciting on-screen chemistry with Park Bo Young.
“Woo Gi is a challenging character, and I saw it as a chance to show a different side of myself. I’m also excited about the chemistry I’ll build with Hee Joo,” Kim Sung Cheol said.

Actors Lee Hyun Wook and Kim Hee Won teased visual appeal and emotional journey in the upcoming drama Gold Land. Lee Hyun Wook will appear as Lee Do Kyung, an airline co-pilot. He lures Hee Joo into gold smuggling. Although he will be introduced as her romantic partner, it remains to be seen whether Lee Do Kyung is using Hee Joo for personal gain.

“There were many parts that I was looking forward to after seeing the fresh material in the script. With overseas location filming also planned, I think the series will offer visual appeal,” Lee Hyun Wook said.
Kim Hee Won will star as Kim Jin Man, a seasoned detective in the violent crimes unit at the Jeongsan Police Department. The actor has teased an emotional journey for his character in the mini-series.
“I’ve been having conversations with the director and continue to explore Jin Man’s character. I’m thinking about his emotional journey, past experiences, and the choices he’d realistically make as a detective,” Kim Hee Won teased.
In a similar vein, actress Moon Jung Hee, who will portray Yeo Sun Ok, Hee Joo’s mother, said she has high expectations for this project because director Kim Seong Hun is known for his unique work. His directorial style will add depth to the emotional landscape of this complex and unique plot.
