In addition to Song and Choi, “My Name is Loh Kiwan” will feature an ensemble cast that includes Cho Han-cheul, who previously worked with Song on “Reborn Rich” and Choi on “The Sound of Magic.”
Supporting roles will be filled by actors such as Kim Sung-ryoung from “The Call,” Lee Il-hwa from the “Reply” series, Lee Sang-hee from “One Spring Night” and Seo Hyun-woo from “Flowers of Evil.”
