SEOUL, July 23 (Yonhap) -- Actor Nam Joo-hyuk has been cast for the upcoming Disney+ original Korean series "Code," set to premiere next year, the streaming platform said Thursday.

In the crime thriller, Nam portrays Yoon Tae-joo, a prosecution investigator-turned-lawyer striving to become a partner at a top-notch law firm.

The 12-part series unfolds as Yoon comes across a mysterious app called "Code," which makes wishes come true -- but at a price.

It is based on the Taiwan series that was released in two seasons in 2016 and 2019, respectively. A Japanese remake starring Kentaro Sakaguchi was produced in 2023.

"Code" is directed by Yoo Su-min, known for the first and second seasons of the action-packed school drama series "Weak Hero."
