CELEB | Lee Jong Suk and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA to star in new drama, ‘Big Mouth’

Seoul — 2022 tvN drama Big Mouth (literal title) will feature actors Lee Jong Suk and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA.

It is a hard-boiled noir drama about a third-rate lawyer who ends up in charge of a murder case that turns him overnight into a genius conman known as Big Mouse.

He must expose a huge conspiracy among the privileged upper classes to survive and protect his family. Park Chang Ho is played by Lee Jong Suk and he is a third-rate lawyer with a 10 per cent success rate, as reported by Soompi. 

The lawyer is all talk and no action, which earns the name Big Mouth from his legal acquaintances. One day, the lawyer is mistaken for a genius conman known as Big Mouse and his life is put in danger.

Park Chang Ho’s wife is a nurse named Go Mi Ho who is played by YoonA. She is the one who made her husband into a lawyer with her unshakable support, and when she learns that he is being mistaken for a conman, she sets out to clear his name herself.

Jang Young Chul and Jung Kyung Soon whose previous work was Vagabond are the writers for Big Mouth while Oh Choong Hwan, who worked on the mise-en-scène for “Hotel Del Luna,” will be working as the director.

“Big Mouth” is set to premiere in 2022.
