According to industry sources, Lee Seol officially joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix series "Paper Man" on August 7. The crime drama follows Cha Myeong-jo, a man who has spent his entire life creating counterfeits without ever receiving recognition, as he enters a dangerous underworld after producing the perfect counterfeit banknote.

Lee Seol joins an impressive cast that already includes Cho Jung-seok, Park Hae-soo, and Claudia Kim, completing a star-studded ensemble of acclaimed actors. The series will be directed by Lee Il-hyeong, who previously demonstrated his distinctive filmmaking style through the Netflix series "Karma" and the films "A Violent Prosecutor" and "Remember - 2020", raising expectations for another gripping crime drama.

Much of the anticipation centers on Lee Seol's performance. She recently earned praise for her role as Go Se-yoon in the KBS2 weekend drama "The Husband", portraying a woman who struggles to protect her family after surviving a kidnapping. Lee Seol delivered a nuanced performance, convincingly expressing her character's profound grief and emotional turmoil. She skillfully captured the complex mix of resentment, anger, and lingering love toward her husband, Kang Tae-joo (Namkoong Min), through restrained expressions and understated acting.

Throughout her career, Lee Seol has continued to surprise audiences with her versatility in projects such as the Disney+ series "Gold Land", the SBS drama "Our Movie", Channel A's "Between Him and Her", and KBS2's "After The Rain". Earlier this year, she also made a memorable special appearance in Season 2 of the Netflix series "Bloodhounds". With "Paper Man", viewers are already eager to see her take on another challenging role in the crime genre.
