Actor Son Woohyeon has been confirmed for JTBC's new weekend drama "The Divine Bead" (Sinui Guseul), returning to TV as Handam, the most skilled killer in an escort convoy. The drama premieres at 10:40 p.m. on Saturday, December 5, and will also be released worldwide on Amazon Prime Video. Written by Jung Hyun-min, directed by Jung Dae-yoon and produced by Celltrion Entertainment and SLL, "The Divine Bead" is set in Goryeo in 1258, when defeat loomed after some 30 years of war with the Mongols. It follows the struggle of a convoy that plunges into the battlefield to find the Gwaneum Bead, a sacred relic for protecting the nation, and a princess who tries to save them. Handam, played by Son Woohyeon, is a convoy member with outstanding martial skills and a cold temperament, considered the best of the group in close combat. He always has a chilly air, a cruel and belligerent personality, and no interest in anything other than fighting. Son plans to bring the character to life with sharp eyes, restrained emotional expression and action acting. He has broadened his career from dramas such as "Flex X Cop 2," "Tale of the Nine Tailed" and "The Golden Spoon" to the film "Crazy Romance" and the stage, including the play "The Second Child."
