“I’m done with this life,” said Seokcheol more than once to his boss, upon finishing his final task. He did not just want out of the gangster world; he wanted to create something that mattered.

Lee Dongwook (Seokcheol) and Lee Sungkyoung (Kang Miyoung) lead the cast of The Nice Guy, a fourteen-part Korean drama series streaming on Disney+.

Born into the third generation of a family of gangsters, Seokcheol grew up knowing nothing but the thrill of violence and family loyalty. Deep down, he held onto a quiet dream of becoming an author, like Ernest Hemingway, and writing a life far from the streets.

The first few episodes has been aired on Disney+ and it already put me in a rollercoaster of emotions with the tear-jerking glimpses into his challenging past, a slow-burning romance rekindled and the quiet struggle of a gentle soul trapped in a life of crime, yearning for a way out. Also, get ready to laugh out loud at the outrageous antics inside a chaotic gangster household with siblings who are anything but ordinary. Look out for Oh Na Ra, the queen of reality shows, as she plays the role of the deranged sister.

Will he succeed in escaping his current world, or will he remain trapped?

Catch The Nice Guy now streaming on Disney+.
