Kim Jaejoong as Jang Dongchul/ Huh Youngdal (1984)
장동철(허영달) | 김재중
정선, 사북 인근에서 허영달을 모르면 간첩 취급을 받기 십상이다. 심지어 정선 카지노를 방문한 외지인들 조차도 금새 허영달이란 이름을 알게 된다. 그의 유명세는 순전히 쓰레기처럼 살아가는 개차반같은 그의 인생 때문이다. 그가 주로 하는 일은 카지노 꽁지들의 푼돈 사채를 대신 받아주는 일이다. 세상에 그 어떤 치욕도 수치심도 없는 인간이다. 건달들 조차 그가 자신들과 동급으로 취급되는걸 질색한다. 그의 나이 열 살때 함께 고아원에 살던 형이 금방 돌아오겠다는 말을 남기고 고아원을 떠났다. 형이 돌아올때까지 갓난쟁이인 동생 동준을 잘 지키려 했지만 동생은 입양이 되었고, 동생을 지키지 못한 동철은 고아원을 도망친다. 이후 소년원을 들락거리게 된면서 장동철 대신 허영달이란 이름을 얻었다. 그의 나이 스무살이 넘고 나서 그는 다시 사북으로 돌아온다. 사북으로 돌아온 뒤 그는 살기위해 별 짓을 다했다. 후안무치, 말 그대로 세상에 수치심따윈 없는 그가 부끄러움을 느끼는 딱 한사람이 있었다. 오정희. 그녀는 동철이 첫눈에 반한 카지노 딜러다. 동철에게 오정희는 비루한 인생의 부끄러움을 난생 처음으로 자각하게 만든 선악과와 같은 존재였다. 그저 먼발치에서 그녀를 바라보는것만으로 숨이 막힐것 같았다. 그러던 중 그 앞에 장동수가 나타난다. 그것도 자신이 보스로 모셔야 될 고복태의 비리를 수사하는 형사로.

Jang Dongchul (Huh Youngdal) | Kim Jaejoong
In Sabuk, Jeongseon, if you don’t know Huh Youngdal, you can be easily treated as a spy. Even the strangers who visit Jeongseon casino will quickly get to know the name of Huh Youngdal. It’s because he lives a scumbag life, just like rubbish. His main job is to collect private loans for the casino. He’s a human being who has no sense of shame and a disgrace in this world. Even the scoundrels detest that he’s identified as the same kind as them.
When he was 10 years old, his brother who lived with him in an orphanage told him that he would be back soon, then left the orphanage. He wanted to protect his newborn brother Dongjun until his big brother comes back, but his brother was adopted. Dongchul, who couldn’t protect his baby brother, ran away from the orphanage. After several times being in and out of Youth Detention Center, he got the name of Huh Youngdal instead of Jang Dongchul.
When he was around 20 years old, he came back to Sabuk. After that, he did anything for a living. Just like the word “Effrontery”, he has no shame. The only one person who could make him feel ashamed is Oh Jeong-hee. She’s a casino dealer that Dongchul has fallen (in love) for at first sight. She’s like the fruit of good and evil that taught him about shame for the first time in his life. Just looking at her from a distance can take his breath away. And then, Jang Dongsu appears in front of him. He’s investigating Dongchul’s boss Go Boktae on charges of corruption.

You have to be living under a rock not to have heard of Huh Young Dal in Sabuk, Jeong Seon. Even outsiders visiting Jeong Seon Casino would soon get to know his name. His main claim to notoriety goes to his trashy life, like a scumbag. The thing he mainly does is collecting debts, helping with casino loan sharks. He doesn’t have an ounce of shame nor does he have a thing to bring disgrace on himself. Even scamps don’t like to be put on the same level as him. At the age of 10, his big brother leaves the orphanage where they lived together, saying “I’ll be back soon.” Despite trying to prevent his baby brother Dong Joon from being adopted, he fails and runs away from the orphanage. After that, he gains a new name Huh Young Dal, drifting in and out of Youth Detention Center. He comes back to Sabuk after turning twenty years old and he does everything for a living by any means necessary. But there is a girl whom even a shameless Dong Cheol feels ashamed in front of. She is Oh Jeong Hee, a casino dealer whom Dong Cheol falls in love at first sight. For him, she is someone like the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that makes him feel ashamed of his miserableness for the first time in his life. He feels suffocated by just watching her from afar. Meanwhile, Jang Dong Soo shows up as a detective investigating the case of Goh Bok Tae who is to be his boss.

Here we go again… Our Jaejoong will experiencing “Rotten Love” ㅠㅠ I feel it! He end up being “All Alone”. Unless it will be different for a change… We will see.. Anyways, I can’t wait to see our “Only Love” Jaejoong again. “It Is” about time!
❤ your comment 🙂
ahh I have the feeling it will be a sad story 😦 why? our Jaejoong nim will be experience a bad sad love again, I read the part: *Just looking at her from a distance can take his breath away.* and I imagine his character is so much deep in love of her.. I hope oppa doesn’t end with a break heart or as I read with “all alone” *cry*cry
this plot feels sad and I think Jaejoong choose this character because of the live story of the brothers…
OPPA FIghting!! 😉 ❤
If it was only base on character description, it looks like Oh Jeong Hee likes Youngdal and not Yangha though. But i have a feeling JJ’s character is going to die in the end. Character’s like Dongchul always gets the tragic end because they’ve done a lot of bad things already so they normally had a redeeming end or a heroic exit. Well atleast most dramas i watch always ended like that. Because writers always find it hard to gave them a happy ending and to get away scotch free. They either have to pay for what they have done and go to jail or die and get sympathy and love from the audience and writers seems to always take the latter.
JJ’s character sounds like he’ll be the mean jerk to her so in kdrama that would mean he’ll be the one she falls for .
well his ending depends on how ” bad ” his character really is ….if he’s just a punk gangster then he might be spared …but if he’s going on full mobster …then ..
anyway he’s collecting debts ?…..hmm ..that’s what the money he was brushing on the girl’s hair was all about in the drama teaser ?
* rubbing hands together* …muhahaha~ …
Wow…..hoping for the best in this kdrama.. triangle! I want a happy ending for the 3 brothers.
the character looks so different from usual !! like it jj the dappen namja 😀
She feels sad with no particular reason when she sees Huh Young Dal. She never knows why her heart aches for him.
I can see a mutual affection but Huh Young Dal and Yoon Yang Ha being on opposite side with their status in society and Jeonghee being the head of household with four younger siblings, maybe circumstances will push her to lean on Yoon Yang Ha.
Ah I want to see how a shameless man feels shame for the first time…
Basing on their past works which I have watched, JJ, LBS, Siwan and BJH, they are all good in acting, hope the script will bring out the best in them.
“For him, she is someone like the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge that makes him feel ashamed of his miserableness for the first time in his life. He feels suffocated by just watching her from afar.”
I can already smell a heartbreaking story for Jaejoong :´(
“Small changes come along in her life after she meets Huh Young Dal. She feels sad with no particular reason when she sees Huh Young Dal. She never knows why her heart aches for him”
There’s hope for Jaejoong! 😀
Oohhh please I hope the writer not make jaejoong role ended like kyung tak in Dr jin. Please make him have happy end with his love. Pleaseee
Preparing my heart a this Young Dal since he will be the most suffering character here. But really can’t wait for Triangle!! Jaejoong, fighting!!
Damn! It hasn’t even started & I’m already getting a little teary-eyed wanting JJ to get the girl he loves…
*creeping behind you * …* wipe your tear *
he will …we’ll make sure he does >:)
