Yoon Chan Young for I, a Gangster, Become a Highschooler
The story is based on a popular web novel of the same name where Kim Deuk Pal, who is an uneducated gangster gets possessed by Song Yi Heon. Always wanting to go to school since his childhood, Yoon Chan Young’s character tries to save the boy who is fed up with the school bullying that he has faced only to end up in his body. The incident makes him enrol in the same school as Song Yi Heon, wanting to take revenge on the perpetrators of violence. However, there he comes across Choi Se Kyung, who used to have a crush on Song Yi Heon.
The story’s plot presents an interesting set-up to allow Yoon Chan Young to explore and express his sincere acting skills as well as become his introduction to the BL genre, a content genre that has seen a recent boost in consumption. If confirmed, it would be a big step in Yoon Chan Young’s career following the success of his past roles in Netflix’s zombie apocalypse series ‘All of Us Are Dead’ alongside Lomon, Cho Yi Hyun, Park Ji Hoo and more.
