Jang Ki Yong and Oh Jung Se have been confirmed as the central figures of Law of the Line, the new office drama that MBC will air on Fridays and Saturdays starting in the first half of 2027. The South Korean network made the official announcement on October 19, also revealing the character profiles for both actors.
It should be noted that Law of the Line is a literal translation of the original Korean title, so it may change before its final premiere.
What is Law of the Line about?
The series follows Tak Do Il, a bank employee with no institutional backing or influential personal connections, as he enters the complex world of corporate politics. Through his story, the drama explores internal power structures through the clash of interests over the control of bank management and personnel decisions, as well as the rivalries and betrayals between different factions.
Who are Tak Do Il and Chun Kyung Ho?
Jang Ki Yong will play Tak Do Il, an employee at Nara Bank. A graduate of a regional university, Tak Do Il lacks a prominent background or relevant contacts within the organization. However, his ability to read situations and negotiate allows him to alter the existing balance of power in the bank. His determination to compete on his own merits, rather than relying on established connections or internal factions, is one of the central themes of the plot.
For his part, Oh Jung Se will play Chun Kyung Ho, the vice president in charge of the sales group at Nara Bank. Despite having only a high school education, Chun Kyung Ho has climbed the ranks within the entity and is currently considered one of the main candidates to become the next bank president. His notable influence within the organization places him at the center of the dispute for the highest position.
As the plot progresses, Chun Kyung Ho becomes involved in a complex web of cross-interests with Tak Do Il, who has fully entered the field of corporate politics. This confrontation sets the stage for a strategic battle between both characters. How these two men, from different backgrounds and with different positions within the banking hierarchy, handle their relationship will be one of the points of greatest interest for the audience.
