“The world has changed.” Disney+ has revealed an official trailer for a series titled Uncle Samsik, another intriguing Korean streaming series launching on Disney+ in Korea soon. It’s a 1960s-set tale of two men, their pride, greed and bromance. Created and directed by Shin Yeon-shick. Starring Song Kang-ho, Byun Yo-han, Lee Kyu-hyung, Jin Ki-joo, and Seo Hyun-woo. It is Song Kang-ho’s first drama series since his debut. Set in the turbulent backdrop of the 1960s, the series depicts the passionate desire and bromance between Uncle Samsik who “ate three meals a day even during the war” and super-elite Kim San, who write a story of love, trust, or doubt. Song Kang-ho stars as Uncle Samsik – Kim San’s partner whom he meets and commits that they will achieve their dreams together. Byun Yo-han co-stars as Kim San, an elite graduate from the Korean Military Academy. He changed his major to economics while training in the United States and returns home with a dream of making Korea an industrial country. This seems like a much more serious and dramatic story about greed and arrogance than what Disney+ usually producers (in Korea). Take a look.
