Bae Hyun-sung Teases a Dangerous Deal in 'The Substitute'
According to a DRAMABEANS report, Bae Hyun-sung has taken on the role of Nam Jae-yeop, a 'golden spoon' (a term for someone born into a wealthy family) model student and anti-hero, in the TVING crime thriller 'The Substitute'. Nam Jae-yeop is a character who, despite having everything, feels an inferiority complex towards those superior to him. In the drama, he embarks on a dangerous deal with Kang Geon-tae (강건태), the school's top special scholarship student (played by Cha Kang-yoon (차강윤)), which also entangles his best friend Joo Hee-dong (주희동) (played by Park Yoon-ho (박윤호)). The first teaser video heightened tension by revealing them caught up in illegal schemes, such as proxy exams or business fraud, amidst the stress of high school entrance exams.
The series also features actors Uhm Ji-won (엄지원), Park Hyuk-kwon (박혁권), and Baek Ji-won (백지원). Park So-yeon (박소연) serves as the director, and Choi Su (최수) is the scriptwriter. 'The Substitute' is scheduled to premiere next month on November 23.
