Jang Keun Suk Transforms Into A Detective With A Rugged Look In “The Bait”
Coupang Play has dropped new stills of Jang Keun Suk in his new drama!
“The Bait” is a crime thriller that follows a lawyer-turned-homicide detective searching for the truth behind unsolved past cases by investigating current crimes. The series marks Jang Keun Suk’s first drama role in five years, and it will also star Heo Sung Tae and Lee Elijah. Jang Keun Suk stars as Goo Do Han, a detective who is determined to uncover the truth after Noh Sang Cheon, the culprit of South Korea’s biggest fraud case (played by Heo Sung Tae), is named as a suspect in a present-day murder case even though he supposedly died eight years ago.
The newly released stills capture a dramatic change between Goo Do Han’s past and present. Goo Do Han was a successful corporate litigation lawyer in the past, but for some reason, he has become a homicide detective.
The image below shows Goo Do Han’s current appearance with a shaggy beard which contrasts greatly with his past appearance as a lawyer. Viewers can feel Jang Keun Suk’s tough side and deep charisma which have not been seen before. On top of this, his intense gaze arouses viewers’ curiosity to find out what is happening in the scene.
“The Bait” will premiere on January 27 and will air two episodes each week. Part 1 consists of a total of six episodes, and Part 2 will be released in the first half of 2023. Check out a teaser for “The Bait” here!
