Disney+ original drama "Daku-ryu" has shockingly released character posters and a trailer. The first original period drama series of Disney+ "Daku-ryu" (scripted by Jeong Seong-il, directed by Chu Chang-min) is an action drama about those who have different dreams to live humanly, overturning a chaotic world, set in Gyeonggang (Kyungan), where all gold and resources of Joseon gather. The released character posters feature a striking image of six characters overwhelming people along with the boldly written logo of "Daku-ryu." First, with the phrase "Who should we trust to live?" the wild-looking Jang Si-yul (SF9's Rowoon) confronts the murky world with a fiery gaze, attracting attention. Next, Choi Eun (Shin Ye-eun) is captured with a determined expression holding a torch, expected to show a strong character rarely seen in this era, saying, "Joseon is narrow and cramped." Jeong Jeong (Park So-ham) also makes a strong appearance, holding a sword in a disheveled state with the phrase, "Everywhere is rotten, and there's no place that doesn't smell," raising interest in how his struggles will unfold. Furthermore, Mu-dok (Park Ji-hwan) throws a mischievous yet cold remark, "Ignoring each other in tough times is the behavior of scoundrels," creating an atmosphere that a huge crisis is about to come to them. Lee Dol-ge (Choi Gwi-hwa), an official of the corrupt police agency (the Joseon era police), tries to trample on the dream of creating a world where people can live humanly, and is expected to clash with the three young people repeatedly. Along with this, Wan Hae (Kim Dong-won) asks, "Do you think the world you desire will come?" hinting at a strong upheaval in Gyeonggang and raising tension. The character video released together captures the charm of each character, attracting attention. First, Si-yul's past secrets are finally revealed, sparking curiosity. The story of Si-yul, a robust scoundrel flowing into the Mapo ferry from ordinary citizens, stimulates interest. The sight of Choi Eun, a genius merchant of Joseon, firmly confronting the rampant scoundrels in the ferry business, which is not the ideal world he dreamed of, also draws attention. Jeong Jeong, a perfectionist officer witnessing the fundamentally rotten reality while managing the ferry to correct the murky Joseon, is also special. Additionally, the impressive sight of Mu-dok trying to bring Si-yul into his group, and the scoundrel group gathered like family—Walwari (Park Jeong-pyo), Kechung (Yoon Dae-yeol), Chunbok (Kim Cheol-yoon), and Malbok (Ahn Seung-kyun)—is also notable. Walwari and his group are expected to be scene stealers in the drama with their unique visuals not seen in previous period dramas. "Daku-ryu" will be exclusively available on Disney+, starting with the release of episodes 1-3 on September 26, followed by two episodes weekly, comprising a total of nine episodes.
