Did Son Suk Ku let go of acting hiatus plans? Everything we know about his role in Ordinary People with Ha Jung Woo

Roh played a key role in the country's shift toward democratic governance after years of authoritarian military rule. It offers a politically charged backdrop for the upcoming series.

Despite the lack of confirmed details, the drama is already drawing buzz thanks to its promising concept and A-list team. Ha Jung Woo and Director Yoon's long creative history Ha Jung Woo and Yoon Jong Bin share a strong creative partnership that dates back nearly two decades. Their first collaboration was on Yoon's directorial debut The Unforgiven. And they've since worked together on several acclaimed films.

Now, his possible casting in Ordinary People alongside Ha Jung Woo could be a career-defining moment. Meanwhile, during an interview on June 15, the actor shared that he was planning to take an extended break once he wrapped up his ongoing projects. However, it now appears that either his break has been postponed, or Ordinary People is part of the commitments he previously mentioned, though that remains unclear.

Due to their current filming schedules, full-scale production on Ordinary People is expected to begin in 2026. Additional casting for supporting roles is expected to take place in the coming months.
