JTBC Unveils Main Poster for 'The Dream Life of Mr. Kim' Ahead of Oct. 25 Premiere

The introspective webtoon adaptation centers on a veteran salaryman’s search for identity beyond corporate titles.

Overview

  • The main poster shows Kim Nak Soo dancing alone on a company rooftop at sunset beside a poem that laments having everything yet feeling absent of self.
  • Ryu Seung Ryong plays a 25-year corporate stalwart who has never missed a promotion and now targets an executive seat.
  • New stills feature Myung Se Bin as Park Ha Jin, a 25-year homemaker who begins preparing to enter the workforce, with captions styled as “Human Documentary: Life Theater.”
  • One image frames Park Ha Jin’s worries with the on-photo line, “Wife’s Hot Topic: Husband About to Become Unemployed—Will Things Be Okay?”
  • JTBC also released a teaser tracing Nak Soo’s shaken confidence as a junior rises, while the 12-episode series joins the Saturday–Sunday slate on October 25 at 10:40 p.m. KST under director Jo Hyun-tak with scripts by Kim Hong-ki and Yoon Hye-sung.
