A report by Korea JoongAng Daily adds that Jang is set to portray a detective investigating unsolved crimes, while Heo and Lee are set to play a con man and a reporter, respectively.
Other cast members on the show include Lee Sung-wook (Forecasting Love and Weather), Lee Seung-joon (Discovery of Love), Park Myung-hoon (Parasite), Oh Yeon-ah (100 Days My Prince) and Lee Won-jong (The Age of Blood), according to South Korean media outlet Osen.
Chronicle of Crime will be helmed by Kim Hong-sun, best known for his work with Voice and Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area. The series, which follows a detective who investigates the connection between unsolved cases and ongoing cases, is reportedly slated to start filming sometime this year.
Other details about the drama, such as a definite premiere date or a production timeline, are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
Chronicle of Crime is Coupang Play’s third original series. Earlier this year, they premiered Anna, which follows a woman who endangers her life after a small lie leads her to live out someone else’s life, and stars Bae Suzy in the titular role.
That series eventually saw a director’s cut release after director Lee Joo-Young claimed that Coupang Play had edited the series without her consent.
