Opisyal na pinalalawak ni Hwang Dong-hyuk, ang utak sa likod ng global hit na Squid Game, ang kanyang ugnayan sa Netflix sa pamamagitan ng bagong seryeng drama na pinamagatang The Dealer. Sa halip na mga larong may buhay na kapalit, tinutok ng proyekto ang madilim at komplikadong mundo ng high-stakes gambling at white-collar fraud, na nananatiling nakaangkla sa temang panlipunan na kilala sa mga obra ni Hwang.
The story revolves around Geonhwa, a skilled casino dealer played by Jung So-min, who is forced to return to the world she left behind after falling victim to a housing scam on the eve of her wedding. As she tries to regain control of her life, she is gradually drawn into an underground gambling network, where intelligence, strategy, and courage are the keys to every decision.
Directed by Choi Young-hwan and written by Ohnooy and Lee Tae-young, the series highlights the quieter yet more intense psychological tension behind the gambling table. It is supported by a strong ensemble cast including Ryoo Seung-bum, Lee Soo-hyuk, and Ryu Kyung-soo, further raising expectations for the project that fans of Korean drama and stories with depth and meaning are eagerly awaiting.
