This drama looks absolutely hilarious! Song Seung-heon (Player) stars as a fallen politician and the father of four in the new political comedy The Great Show.
In the latest teaser, Song Seung-heon’s banner reads: “A young politician’s thoughtful politics. Candidate 2, Wie Dae-han. Working man for the people in their thirties.” Other candidates pander on the streets, promising everything from protecting the weak to jobs for everyone.
Song Seung-heon’s voice narrates that for him, these four children are his special election strategy. An article with the headline “Immoral former congressman Wie Dae-han becomes nation’s father” flashes onscreen. And the trailer closes out with a warm-looking family appearance at a grocery store, while Song Seung-heon announces that this is the beginning of a family cosplay scam against the nation.
Noh Jung-eui (Kill It) plays the breadwinner and eldest sister of four siblings. She agrees to pretend to be Song Seung-heon’s daughter for the sake of her younger brothers and sister. The other siblings are played by Jung Joon-won (100 Days My Prince), Kim Joon, and Park Ye-na (Buamdong Revenge Club).
From the vibes and storyline, I feel like The Great Show would be what would happen if My Fellow Citizens had a part two. With its wacky scam premise, I’m hoping that The Great Show is going to be a funny family comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
tvN’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama The Great Show will begin on August 26.
