On January 19, 2023, K-industry insiders revealed that actors Cha Eun-woo, Ha Jun-kyung, and Jo Woo-jin will be starring in the upcoming crime drama Bulk.

In response to the report, Cha Eun-woo’s agency Fantagio said that Bulk is one of the projects the actor is considering, but nothing has been confirmed as of now. On the other hand, Extraordinary Attorney Woo actress Han Yoon-kyung agency HODU&U Entertainment responded that she had received the offer and confirmed the appearance.

Meanwhile, on the same day, veteran actor Jo Woo-jin’s agency, Yooborn Company, has also confirmed the actor's appearance in the upcoming crime drama.

Bulk is said to convey a meaningful message of exhilaration in the process of mitigating and eradicating horrendous and heinous criminals that have been damaging society for a long time. It presents the story of a police officer, a fixer from the field’s mainstream, and a team of prosecutors to pursue and catch dark forces against the backdrop of Gangnam district in the dark of the night.

If Cha Eun-woo accepts the casting offer, the actor will be seen joining hands with Ha Yoon-kyung's character and a veteran detective (played Jo Woo-jin).


Cha Eun-woo will portray the role of a daring character who’s against the heinous crimes in the upcoming drama Bulk

The upcoming series Bulk will be produced by Man Pictures, which has established a prestigious name in the industry. It has been a representative of production companies for films such as Duke, Hunt, New World, and others. The drama will be helmed by director Park Noo-ri, who is known for her project Money.

If Cha Eun-woo confirms the casting offer, he will play a role that is different from what he is usually seen playing, as seen from the hits True Beauty and My ID is Gangnam Beauty. As such, his character in Bulk has worked behind the glamorous mainstream world of Gangnam as a fixer. He is someone who can’t stand injustice and rebels against heinous criminals, joining hands with detectives and prosecutors to solve complex cases.

An industry insider shared that the True Beauty actor’s role in the upcoming drama is something similar to Lee Byung-hun’s role in A Bitterweet Life.

Meanwhile, Han Yoo-kyung is set to portray the role of a prosecutor named Hong II Jeom, who will join hands with Cha Eun-woo's character. It will be interesting to see how the duo catches and punishes the criminals together.

Bulk is one of the series where Jin Woo-jin is in the lead role. Moreover, since Jin Woo-jin has already confirmed the casting offer, he is set to play the role of a veteran detective who will also be seen closely working with a fixer and a prosecutor to catch the criminals to solve crime cases.
