What would you change if you could return to the past with everything you know today?
That question lies at the heart of “A Man’s Man,” an upcoming live-action Korean drama set to stream exclusively on Disney+.
Based on the critically acclaimed webtoon of the same name, which has recorded more than 470 million views worldwide, the series follows a powerful businessman who receives an unexpected chance to rebuild his life from the beginning.
A Ruthless CEO Gets a Second Chance
Han Yuhyeon is a relentless and determined businessman who fought his way to the top of one of Korea’s largest conglomerates. After becoming the youngest CEO in the company’s history, he finally achieves the success he spent years pursuing.
However, standing at the top comes at a devastating cost.
Yuhyeon realizes that he has no friends or family left by his side. In his pursuit of power and recognition, he sacrificed the relationships and moments that once gave his life meaning.
Overwhelmed by regret and left with nothing but his achievements, Yuhyeon unexpectedly wakes up 20 years in the past. Once again, he is a newly hired employee taking his first steps into the corporate world.
Armed with knowledge of the future, Yuhyeon sets out to rise through the company once more. This time, however, he is determined to avoid his former mistakes and reclaim everything he lost along the way.
Park Jeongmin Leads the Cast
Park Jeongmin, known for his performances in “Deliver Us from Evil” and “Harbin,” stars as Han Yuhyeon, the regret-filled CEO given a rare opportunity to rewrite his future.
Joining him is Bae Seongwoo of “Light Shop” and “The King,” who plays Deputy General Manager Kim Hyeonmin.
Kim Jihyun, recognized for “D.P.” and “Law and the City,” takes on the role of Manager Choi Minhui. Meanwhile, “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and “D.P.” actor Moon Sanghoon portrays Park Seungwu, Yuhyeon’s mentor.
