The highly anticipated tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Project Manager Shin" has unveiled its script reading session, raising expectations with the impeccable chemistry of lead actors Han Seok-kyu, Bae Hyun-sung, and Lee Re.

Ahead of its September premiere, the newly released script reading photos showcased the main cast members of "Project Manager Shin" gathered in one room, passionately exchanging ideas and enthusiasm over the upcoming project.

This negotiation comedy centers around a legendary negotiator who, in an era plagued by communication breakdowns, ends up running a fried chicken restaurant and resolving disputes among citizens. The series promises a lighthearted and witty take on generational conflicts and intergenerational communication.

Present at the lively script reading were Han Seok-kyu, Bae Hyun-sung, Lee Re, writer Ban Ki-ri and director Shin Kyung-soo. Each actor brought their assigned character to life, fully immersing themselves in their roles.

Han Seok-kyu plays Shin, the restaurant owner, bringing to the screen a neighborhood hero who tactfully solves incidents and embodies justice. While portraying an ordinary chicken restaurant owner, he also exudes a mysterious charisma as a top-tier negotiator, revealing captivating layers to his character.

Bae Hyun-sung takes on the role of Jo Phillip, a rookie judge who unexpectedly becomes a fried chicken shop employee, compellingly expressing his character's bewilderment and confusion in the unfamiliar setting. His acting transformation—from judge's robe to apron—adds intrigue to his performance. Lee Re plays Si-on, a Gen Z delivery worker, exuding a tangy charm reminiscent of spicy chicken sauce. Her energetic and authentic reactions enlivened the atmosphere, making her portrayal of a part-time worker endearing and memorable.

The synergy among the three leads was evident throughout the script reading, with their delightful banter between the restaurant owner and employees amplifying anticipation for the series premiere.

The production team shared, "We want to show just how exhilarating and humorous resolving interpersonal conflict through words can be. We are working with the cast to ensure viewers become regulars at our on-screen chicken shop, promising them a fun and engaging story."

Meanwhile, "Project Manager Shin" is set to premiere this coming September.
