New Stills from Upcoming K-Drama Iron Family Showcase Choi Tae Joon’s Character Transformation
The upcoming K-drama Iron Family has released new stills offering a glimpse into Choi Tae Joon’s character and his intriguing evolution. Iron Family is a romantic black comedy revolving around a family-run laundry business spanning three generations.
Geum Sae Rok stars as Lee Da Rim, the youngest daughter of the Cheongryeom Laundry family, who struggles with a rare illness that affects her vision. Kim Jung Hyun plays Seo Kang Joo, an executive director at Jiseung Group, who grapples with earning his father’s approval.
Choi Tae Joon takes on the role of Cha Tae Woong, a part-time worker at Cheongryeom Laundry. Abandoned at birth and raised in an orphanage, Cha Tae Woong has faced numerous challenges. With no clear direction in life, he was given a chance to start anew by Go Bong Hee (Park Ji Young), the daughter-in-law of the Cheongryeom Laundry family.
The newly released stills highlight Cha Tae Woong’s transformation since joining the Cheongryeom family. While earlier images showed him with a dark, vacant look and disheveled appearance, the new photos reveal a more polished and confident individual, reflecting his newfound stability and positive energy.
As Cha Tae Woong grows closer to Lee Da Rim, whom he sees as a younger sister, he becomes a protective older brother when Seo Kang Joo begins to pursue her romantically. This sets the stage for humorous conflicts between the two men.
Also starring in Iron Family is INFINITE’s Sungyeol as Choi Hyung Chul, a lieutenant at the Cheongrim Police Station. Despite his impressive qualifications, Choi Hyung Chul often feels overshadowed by his accomplished family but takes pride in his work and develops a romance with a fellow officer.
Written by Seo Sook Hyang, known for her work on Pasta, Don’t Dare to Dream, and Wok of Love, Iron Family is set to premiere in September, following Beauty and Mr. Romantic. The drama will feature 36 episodes.
