Kim Ro-woon (The King’s Affection) has just confirmed his next project — an MBC drama called Tomorrow. It’s a webtoon-based fantasy drama where grim reapers, who are supposed to guide people to the afterlife, actually save people who want to die. Kim Ro-woon joins Kim Hee-sun (Alice), who confirmed her role in the drama back in July.
Kim Ro-woon’s character is Choi Joon-woong, a rookie employee at Hell’s only (and monopolistic) business corporation, Phantasmagoria. He starts off as a perpetual job-seeker with no upcoming career prospects, despite the fact that he has an array of skills certificates.
One day, an innocent grammatical mistake happens in the Risk Management division of Phantasmagoria, and Kim Ro-woon’s soul is suddenly transplanted into a coma patient. Under this new guise, he takes on tasks given by the Risk Management team, which allows him to become an insider to Phantasmagoria.
Co-written by Park Ran (the original webtoon creator) and rookie screenwriter Kim Yoo-jin, and co-directed by Kim Tae-yoon (Retrial) and Sung Chi-wook (Mouse), Tomorrow will begin airing in 2024.
