Netflix has announced the production and cast of the new series Paper Man (WT), a crime drama about an overlooked man who makes knock-offs for a living - until he creates the perfect counterfeit bill and is pulled into a dangerous world.

Paper Man (WT) follows Cha Myung-jo, a man who works at a company that makes imitation character stickers. Though he's technically the head of his household, at home he's constantly overshadowed by his highly competent wife, who's a judge. However, when Myung-jo comes to create a counterfeit bill so flawless it can't be distinguished from the real thing, he steps into an unexpected world he never imagined.

Blending the tension of a crime thriller with drama, Paper Man (WT) explores the value of money, human desire, and the boundaries between what is real and fake as defined by society - with both humor and bite.

Known for creating high-tension stories with strong characters and propulsive plots, Director Lee Il-hyung (Karma, A Violent Prosecutor) brings his craft to Paper Man (WT), unraveling a story in which money, desire, and family dynamics all become entangled.

The confirmed cast of Paper Man (WT) builds anticipation even further. Cho Jung-seok (Hospital Playlist, Pilot, Exit) stars as Cha Myung-jo, dynamically portraying the character's transformation from a weary head of household to a person awakened to a dangerous desire. Park Hae-soo (Squid Game, Narco-Saints, Karma) takes on the role of Oh Seung-eop, the First Deputy Director of the Anti-Counterfeiting Division at the Korea Mint - a sharp, relentless investigator who stands in Myung-jo's way. Claudia Kim (Gyeongseong Creature, The Atypical Family, Avengers: Age of Ultron) plays Ko Hye-seok, Myung-jo's cool-headed wife and elite judge, who's dealing with real dilemmas and family issues beneath the appearance of a perfect life.

Stay tuned for more updates on Paper Man (WT), an unpredictable crime drama, coming only on Netflix.
