According to DEADLINE on April 19, actor Ma Dong Suk has been cast as the male lead of an upcoming American TV series produced by Starlings Entertainment, titled 'The Club'.
Ma Dong Suk has been listed as both the lead actor and a producer, working with Chris S. Lee. 'The Club' will be an American version remake of the Korean drama series, OCN's 'Trap', which starred Lee Seo Jin and aired back in 2019.
Ma Dong Suk, or Don Lee as known in Hollywood, will "play a veteran detective investigating a mysterious group of hunters who have attacked a famous news anchor and his family on a camping trip. The detective, who lost his own son, finds himself mired in a twisted mystery orchestrated by an elite and powerful group with disturbing appetites. He will slowly learn that nothing is as it seems and that there are killers hiding in plain sight."
Meanwhile, Ma Dong Suk is currently awaiting the premiere of his Hollywood debut film, Marvel's 'Eternals'.
What's been making Korean dramas (UK too) more appealing to me than American ones these last few years is the lack of gun play.
