In “The Manipulated,” Ji Chang Wook takes on the role of Park Tae Joong, an ordinary man whose life turns into a nightmare after he is wrongfully accused of a brutal crime.
Behind the false accusation lies a cold and calculated plan orchestrated by Yo Han (played by Doh Kyung Soo — better known as D.O. from EXO).
Determined to uncover the truth and reclaim his dignity, Tae Joong embarks on a dark journey of vengeance and self-destruction, fighting against the powerful forces that ruined his life.
The promotional stills reveal a haunting contrast between his former peaceful life — defined by his dream of opening a small garden café — and the cold, hardened gaze of a man who has lost everything. His emotional transformation stands at the very heart of the story.
Known for his roles in “Healer” and “The Worst of Evil,” Ji Chang Wook once again delivers a captivating and emotional performance.
“Tae Joong is a man who seeks one thing only: revenge. I tried to show, step by step, how his pain shapes his strength and determination,” said Ji Chang Wook.
Director Park Shin Woo praised the actor’s intensity and depth, stating:
“Ji Chang Wook brought incredible emotional gravity to this role. I believe one day we’ll say he’s become a genre of his own in K-dramas.”
With sophisticated direction, an emotionally charged script, and relentless twists, “The Manipulated” is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-dramas of the year.
The series premieres November 5 on Disney+, launching with the first four episodes and new installments released weekly until all 12 episodes are available.
