Choi Min-sik last appeared on the small screen 24 years ago in MBC's “Love and Separation”. Since then, he has gone on to establish himself as one of the greatest actors of all time in Korean cinema, after working in films like “Shiri“, “Oldboy“, “I Saw The Devil” and “The Admiral: Roaring Currents“, among several others.
Reports today are suggesting that the actor is “positively considering” a comeback to the television drama format with “Casino” which will be written and directed by “The Outlaws” director Kang Yoon-sung. While not much is known about the story of the project yet, it is said to be revolving around the turbulent life of a man with a casino as a backdrop to the story.
Choi has previously shown enthusiasm to return to the small screen in various interviews.
It will be the first tv production of B.A. Entertainment, who previously produced the smash hit “The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil” and the critically acclaimed “Beasts Clawing at Straws” as well as CJ Entertainment.
“Casino” is said to enter production in 2021 and the full cast-list is yet to be finalised.
