The Equator Man [적도의 남자] - Korean Drama 2012
Ranked #337 in Entertainment, #3,913 overall
The writer of the 2008 drama Women of the Sun is back with her newest piece, The Equator Man. The plot sounds similar, the only difference is in this drama, the story will focus on two best friends ( Kim Seon Woo [played by Uhm Tae Woong] and Lee Jang Il [played by Lee Jun Hyuk]) who because of the circumstances have to be rivals.
The mellow actor Uhm Force -v- City Hunter's Prosecutor Lee Jun Hyuk playing enemies - I honestly want to root for Lee Jun Hyuk's character because I really love him playing as a good prosecutor in City Hunter. However, this time around he will be playing as an ambitious guy and ends up throw away their friendship due to greed and jealousy. So it looks like I will end up loving Uhm Force's character as even though he has a hard life (lived in an orphanage) but his strong desire to success will open ways for him to become a CEO.
The Equator Man started its first episode on 21 March 2012 in the same timeslot as King 2Hearts and Rooftop Prince.
