Part 4
English translation: tenshi_akuma

Hello, I’m Jang Keun Suk. I’ll be back to TV, appearing in ‘Daebak’ after a long interval. The drama deals with gambling, but it’s not the main subject. There were men in Joseon era who were playing for the nation’s destiny and the throne. The drama is full of their aggressive battles. I’m sure you’ll enjoy seeing it. It goes on air in May on KNTV station. I hope you to see it.
