Ryu Seung Ryong Gears Up for Gold Rush in Disney+’s “Low Life” – kdramadiary

Ryu Seung Ryong is set to transform into a  treasure-hunting hustler Oh Kwan-seok in Disney+’s new original series, Low Life.

This exciting drama centers on a motley crew of seemingly hardworking country folks who scheme to unearth a treasure ship buried off the coast of Shinan since 1977. However, their pursuit of riches leads them into a web of deception and trickery.

Ryu Seung Ryong’s character, Oh Kwan-seok, is a man driven by desperation. He resorts to petty fraud and theft alongside his nephew, Oh Hee-dong (Yang Se Jong), all for the sake of his family. Upon hearing rumors from a Seoul antique dealer about valuable porcelain hidden in the Shinan sea, Oh Kwan-seok rallies like-minded partners and heads to Mokpo, dreaming of striking it rich. As these money-hungry individuals converge, each with their own hidden agendas, the stage is set for a complex human drama. This larger-than-life story promises to deliver a thrilling experience this summer.

The recently released character stills of Oh Kwan-seok highlight Ryu’s complete immersion in the role. Sporting a 70s-style wide-collared shirt and a short-cropped hairstyle, he perfectly embodies the era. His piercing gaze and forward lean convey the extraordinary aura of Oh Kwan-seok—a leader who conceals his true intentions while pursuing treasure. The intensity in his eyes, particularly when confronting an opponent, hints at the unfolding tension of the treasure hunt.

Disney+’s Low Life will be exclusively released with 11 episodes, dropping in batches: three episodes on July 16 (Wednesday), followed by two episodes each on July 23, July 30, August 6, and August 13 (all Wednesdays).
