After being sidelined by his colleagues, a detective will be forced back to the frontlines in Gangnam B-Side - an unmissable crime drama coming November 6, exclusively to Disney+ Hotstar.

Spurned by his colleagues and estranged from his family, detective Kang Dongwoo made a name for himself taking down his fellow officers on charges of corruption. Frozen out by those who remained, Dongwoo was forced to rebuild his life in a rural outpost. But when his daughter’s friend goes missing, the pariah detective will be dragged back into the depths of depravity as he desperately tries to rescue the girl from the dangers of drugs, exploitation and more. 

An eight-part drama with two episodes set to release weekly through November 27th, Gangnam B-Side stars Jo Woojin (Narco-Saints, Mr. Sunshine) as detective Kang Dongwoo, Ji Changwook (The Worst of Evil, Backstreet Rookie) as back-alley enforcer Yoon Gilho, Ha Younkyoung (Extraordinary Attorney Woo, See You In My 19th Life) as prosecutor Min Seojin, and Kim Hyungseo (The Worst of Evil, Hopeless) as girl on the run, Kim Jaehee. The series is written by Joo Wonkyu (Argon, The Lies Within) and directed by Park Noori (Money, The Berlin File).

Upon its release, Gangnam B-Side will join over a dozen other Korean titles that have launched on Disney+ Hotstar this year, building on the positive momentum and success of the company’s 2023 APAC content slate, which featured hits including Moving, Big Bet, and The Worst of Evil.
