The show is already in production.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"518\" data-end=\"709\">The series stars Jung So min, Ryoo Seung bum, Lee Soo hyuk, and Ryu Kyung soo. It is shaping up to be a dark and intense crime drama. One that dives deep into the dangerous world of gambling.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"518\" data-end=\"709\">\n<h2 data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"759\">Netflix\u2019s Korean series \u2018The Dealer\u2019 plot details<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"761\" data-end=\"960\">The Dealer follows Geonhwa.

And to secure her place at the altar.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1353\">As Geonhwa enters the gambling world, she unleashes abilities she has kept buried for years. The stakes are high. The risks are deadly. And every move could cost her everything.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1353\">\n<h2 data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1403\">Squid Game creator brings new cast and vision<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1612\">Jung So min plays Geonhwa.
