Each installment has brought a fresh perspective to the Tazza universe, cementing the franchise's legacy in Korean cinema.
For the fourth film, Byun Yo Han is reportedly in talks to portray Jang Tae Young, the main character in the fourth arc of the original manhwa. The project will be helmed by director Choi Gook Hee, renowned for the musical drama Life is Beautiful, released in 2022, and the gripping series No Way Out: The Roulette.
Byun Yo Han, known for his standout performance as Kim Hui Seong in Mr. Sunshine, has shown his versatility in a variety of roles. Most recently, he delivered a riveting performance in the crime thriller Black Out, where he portrayed Go Jung Woo, a man grappling with a dark past.
If confirmed, Tazza 4 would mark an exciting new chapter for Byun Yo Han, giving fans much to anticipate as the beloved franchise continues its legacy. Fans are eager to see if the actor will bring the cunning and complex Jang Tae Young to life.
