Park Bo-young stakes a claim on Disney+’s Gold Land

At this point, there’s no genre that Park Bo-young (Our Unwritten Seoul) cannot do and Disney+’s new crime-thriller Gold Land is the next on her busy schedule, entangled alongside the also talented Kim Sung-chul (Hellbound 2) in a treacherous plot surrounding smuggled gold.

Showcasing our main cast in stills from the drama’s first script reading, Park Bo-young plays our central heroine Kim Hui-joo, who works at the international airport as security check personnel. By chance, the gold in the question somehow falls into her hands and though she tries to remain principled at first, Hui-joo can’t help but be tempted by human instinct and greed.

Here enters Kim Sung-chul in the role of Jang Wook – nicknamed Woo-ki – a low-ranking employee in a money lending (read: loan shark) organization. They of course are searching for the stolen gold and when Woo-ki finds out that Hui-joo is the one who currently has it, he intentionally befriends her under the guise of wanting to help.

Complicating matters, Lee Hyun-wook (Shark – The Storm) takes on the part of an airline bookkeeper named Lee Do-kyung. He is Hui-joo’s boyfriend and he’s the reason why Hui-joo gets involved in all this mess, making us question if Do-kyung truly loves her or if he merely sees her as a pawn.

Our story’s leading characters also include police detective Kim Hee-won (Han River Police) working in the violent crimes unit; Hui-joo’s mom Moon Jung-hee (The 8 Show) who has a love-hate relationship with her daughter; and a ~~gangster~~ director Lee Kwang-soo (Karma) who oversees a subsidiary organization under our title’s Gold Land casino.

Expected to release sometime in 2026, production for Disney+’s Gold Land has PD Kim Sung-hoon (Chief Detective 1958, Confidential Assignment) at the helm, with scripts penned by Hwang Jo-yoon (Memoir of a Murderer, Masquerade). The two worked together previously as well on the 2018 sageuk film Rampant.
