Park Seo‑Joon is about to take fans on a dark, thrilling ride with his next role in the upcoming K‑drama I Am A Sinner. Moving far from the warm-hearted rom‑comedies that made him a household name, he’ll bring us into the criminal underworld as Paeng Yi – the youngest, coldest member of a drug-trafficking gang.
In this intense series (based on the hit webtoon), Paeng Yi isn’t just another gangster. After a brutal jewelry store heist goes sideways, he finds himself scrambling for power, money, and survival. His plan? Teaming up with low-rung members of the cartel, navigating betrayals and turf wars, and climbing the ranks through ruthlessness and cunning.
This role marks a bold reinvention for Park Seo‑Joon. Known for heart-stealing performances in Itaewon Class, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Dream, he’s now ready to explore a grittier, more ruthless side of humanity. No rom-com clichés here—expect intensity, moral ambiguity, and raw emotions that push both actor and audience to the edge.
Filming is already underway, and fans are buzzing at the contrast from his current project Waiting for Gyeongdo (a cozy, lover-boy rom‑com set for December). It’s like flipping a switch—one moment he’s the charming lead making hearts flutter, the next he’s a calculating figure immersed in crime and chaos.
What should you be watching for? His transformation into Paeng Yi is front and center—how he embodies the character’s darkness, the tension in his eyes, and the emotional reckoning that comes when a once-lovable star goes rogue.
If this is Park Seo‑Joon’s next level—unrestricted, unfiltered, and unapologetic—then I Am A Sinner is the drama to watch. Keep your alerts on: this is one comeback that’s bound to leave a mark.
