Kim Hee Won is a corrupt police officer who puts survival first in new drama “Gold Land”

Disney+’s upcoming drama “Gold Land” has revealed new photos from Kim Hee won in character!

“Gold Land” follows Hee Joo (Park Bo Young), a security screening officer at an international airport who unexpectedly comes into possession of gold bars tied to an illegal smuggling ring. As those around her are consumed by greed and betrayal, Hee Joo is drawn into a dangerous battle—not only with others, but with her own growing desire to keep the gold.

Kim Hee Won plays Kim Jin Man, a character who prioritizes survival over desire, even in the midst of a massive case involving 150 billion won (approximately $99,667,800) in gold bars.

Kim Jin Man is a police officer long involved in corruption linked to violent organizations. When the big incident breaks out, he steps back to watch what unfolds instead of chasing the gold, carefully weighing his best options. Although he seems distant, he struggles with whether to cover up the incident or profit from it, while facing the cracks in his own life.

Between characters driven by intense desire, Kim Jin Man carefully calculates reality until an unexpected moment, when he makes a completely different choice that ends the situation.

One still shows him casually answering a phone at the police station, and another photo shows him staring intently at something in a casino. The photographs reveal his complex psychology, which appears cold externally while harboring desire and calculation within.

Describing the character, Kim Hee Won said, “Jin Man is ultimately a power-fly-like figure. He is a person shaped to live by hiding his desires rather than revealing them.”

Director Kim Seong Hoon said, “Kim Hee Won put a lot of thought and effort into showing the changes Jin Man goes through after facing Hee Joo and the gold bars.”

Writer Hwang Jo Yoon added, “He is the character I felt most attached to and designed with the most empathy. Many people probably live by making compromises in ways similar to Jin Man.”

Consisting of 10 episodes, “Gold Land” is set to air episodes 1 and 2 on April 29 and will release two new episodes every week.
