On November 13, 2023, the South Korean media outlet Daily Sports reported that both Ji Chang-wook and EXO's D.O. are confirmed for the upcoming revenge drama, Sculpture City, from the writer of Taxi Driver.
The upcoming thriller drama will delve into the life of an ordinary person who has gone through the worst phases of his life, some of them even comparable to hell. As he returns from the most difficult phase, the drama will unravel what he will do.
With Ji Chang-wook and EXO's D.O. reportedly confirmed for the upcoming series Sculpture City fans are over the moon and can't wait to see the on-screen chemistry between the duo.

In the upcoming series, EXO's D.O. is set to chronicle the role of an antagonist. He will take on the role of an architect who is involved in everything but real, authentic architecture. He is described as someone who turns the lives of ordinary people into hell.
While an architect's job is to build a place fit for living, EXO's D.O.'s character will showcase the contrary side of the profession, with him bringing down the buildings of life where ordinary people are already residing.
The idol previously played the role of a villain in the 2015 drama, Hello Monster (I Remember You). After over seven years, he is now set to return to the world of K-drama once more in yet another antagonistic role.

Subsequently, after making a return to normal life despite his haunted past, he decides to take revenge on those responsible for making his life miserable.
Furthermore, the drama will be penned by Taxi Driver writer Oh Sang-ho, who also worked on Fabricated City, where Ji Chang-wook appeared as the main lead. The upcoming film will be helmed by director Kim Chang-joo.
As soon as the K-drama and K-pop communities heard about the news, they were overjoyed at the chance of watching the duo together in a drama for the first time ever. They also rejoiced at the fact that Ji Chang-wook is delivering one hit after another. He was last seen in The Worst of Evil series.
