Netflix has confirmed production on “The Shooter” (working title), an action-noir series that pairs Lee Jung-eun with Kim Moo-yul, marking Lee’s first outing in an action role. Lee’s turn comes on the heels of “My Daughter Is a Zombie,” one of South Korea’s top-grossing films of 2025. Kim joins her fresh off “Teach You a Lesson,” a global hit, and the pair reunite four years after starring together in “Juvenile Justice.” Lee Kwon, who directed “A Shop for Killers,” leads the production, working from a script by Kim Hee-su.
Studio Dragon produces the series for Netflix. Pursuing answers pulls her into the hidden workings of the powerful Chunghwa Group, and into a partnership she never expected, one that upends everything she believed to be true. Kim plays Seo Yeon-woo, the strategist behind Jeong’s push for revenge, bringing a sharp eye for judgment and motives all his own.
Huh Joon-ho (“Notes from the Last Row,” “Mercy for None”) plays Jang Kwang-cheol, who once led the Heukseong Gang and has since risen to chair Chunghwa Group. Choi Sung-eun (“My Name Is Loh Kiwan,” “The Sound of Magic”) plays Shin Ji-hyun, who runs the company’s China office while overseeing Operations Unit 3. Bae Na-ra (“The WonderFools,” “Weak Hero Class 2”) plays Cheon Tae-seok, who assists the chairman while running Operations Unit 2.
Seo Hyun-woo (“A Shop for Killers,” “Honour”) plays Yoo Il-koo, the Chunghwa Group outcast who oversees Operations Unit 4. Moon Jong-won rounds out the cast as Um Sang-pil, who runs a bed-and-breakfast and carries a past shrouded in mystery.
