Super Junior's Choi Siwon is returning as the main character of a drama.
A drama official told Ilgan Sports on the 27th, "Choi Siwon will appear in the new KBS 2TV Monday-Tuesday drama 'My Fellow Citizens,' which will air in March next year."
Choi Siwon will play the role of a con artist named Yang Jung-guk. He is the sole heir of a family that has made fraud their family business for three generations, from his father to his grandfather. Needing a big score to raise money for his wedding with his beloved girlfriend, he approaches loan sharks and gets his hands on a large sum of money through currency fraud, but ends up being scammed himself.
Choi Siwon, who appeared in tvN's 'Revolutionary Love' last year, caused controversy when his pet dog bit someone, leading to their death during the drama's run. He subsequently refrained from activities and returned through variety shows like 'SJ Returns.' This marks his return as an actor after a year and a half.
'My Fellow Citizens' is a comic crime drama about a con artist who unexpectedly marries a police officer, gets caught up in unwanted events, and runs for a seat in the National Assembly. It aims to provide healing by showing the struggles of the 'underdogs' living in the same era as us, not through shared pain and empathy, but by delivering a satisfying blow to the 'oppressors' who hurt us, allowing viewers to overcome their sense of loss even while watching the drama.
