The real reason why high school student Park Soo-oh became the dedicated troll of Park Sung-woong is revealed.
The main poster for MBC's two-part Friday-Saturday drama 'Director Maeng's Troll', which will premiere on May 23 at 10 PM, has been released.
MBC drama 'Director Maeng's Troll' (written by Kim Dam, directed by Hyun Sol-ip) depicts the comedic two-man game that unfolds as professional basketball coach Maeng Gong, who is on the verge of being ousted due to poor performance, teams up with his troll Hwa-jin for the sake of the team's results.
The script, which won the grand prize at the MBC drama script contest, has been recognized for its quality, and the meeting with director Hyun Sol-ip, who received praise for the drama 'I Can't Stand You!' with his unique delicate directing style, promises the birth of a well-made short drama that viewers can trust. With a perfect ensemble of actors led by Park Sung-woong and Park Soo-oh, and their vivid performances, anticipation and interest from potential viewers are increasing as the premiere approaches.
The released main poster for 'Director Maeng's Troll' comically depicts the coach Maeng Gong (played by Park Sung-woong) of the professional basketball team 'Big Pandas', who is suffering from malicious comments, alongside his troll Hwa-jin (played by Park Soo-oh). Maeng Gong, surrounded by various malicious comment sections directed at him, is shown in a dynamic pose with an agitated expression, as if he is about to burst through the screen, catching the eye.
Comments like 'Is there no strategy?', 'Isn't being a basketball coach an easy job?', 'I've never turned off the TV out of frustration because of a coach before', and 'At this point, just watch the game from the stands' seem to weigh heavily on him, vividly capturing Maeng Gong's struggle under the pressure of being ousted due to poor performance and the relentless barrage of malicious comments, sparking curiosity.
Meanwhile, Hwa-jin can be seen calmly sitting and writing malicious comments directed at Maeng Gong, adding to the intrigue. Hwa-jin is a 'basketball expert' who can analyze games down to the second and operates under the nickname 'Maeng Gong Extinction Group', serving as Maeng Gong's dedicated troll.
In Hwa-jin's meaningful smile while typing malicious comments, one can sense animosity and a desire for revenge against Maeng Gong, and his sharp gaze hints at his qualities as a basketball strategist, amplifying curiosity about his backstory.
The main poster for 'Director Maeng's Troll', which captures the stark contrast between the two characters, raises endless questions about how Maeng Gong will overcome this crisis and why Hwa-jin became Maeng Gong's troll, building excitement as the premiere on May 23 approaches.
Meanwhile, MBC's two-part Friday-Saturday drama 'Director Maeng's Troll' is set to meet viewers on May 23 and 24.
