'Gwangjang' Ranks Second Globally in Non-English Series
'Gwangjang' has secured the second position in the global rankings for non-English series. The noir action drama follows Gi-jun (So Ji-sub), who returns after 11 years to seek revenge for the death of his brother Gi-seok (Lee Joon-hyuk), the second-in-command of their organization. The series has made it to the TOP 10 list in 44 countries worldwide.
Showcasing the essence of intense noir action, 'Gwangjang' offers a thrilling experience with its hard-boiled action sequences and powerful performances from its cast, earning praise from both domestic and international audiences. Notably, foreign media outlets have described it as a gripping revenge tale with well-crafted action sequences that keep viewers on the edge of their seats (Decider), and a bloody revenge thriller comparable to 'John Wick' (Collider).
Recently released behind-the-scenes stills capture the passionate energy of the cast and the friendly atmosphere on set. A notable image features director Choi Sung-eun discussing action scenes with So Ji-sub, evoking the intense moments from the series. Additionally, candid shots of So Ji-sub and Lee Joon-hyuk in serious conversation highlight the dedication of the actors and director in bringing the world of 'Gwangjang' to life.
The stills of Ha Joon-ho and Gong Myung, who have fully immersed themselves in their characters, reflect the actors' commitment to delivering impactful performances. In contrast, images of Jo Han-cheol, Ahn Gil-kang, Ha Joon-ho, Choo Young-woo, and Cha Seung-won smiling together convey the lighthearted atmosphere during filming, despite the characters' intense pursuits of their goals within the drama. A striking image of Cha Young-do, portrayed by Cha Seung-won, enhances the series' mystery, while Lee Joon-hyuk's focused gaze during monitoring reveals his passion and affection for 'Gwangjang.'
