Disney Plus is diving into murky waters with its new original series Low Life and the impressive ensemble cast.
Set in 1977, Low Life follows a scrappy crew of small-town hustlers all chasing the same prize—a long-lost treasure ship buried deep beneath the sea. The teaser poster drops a punchy tagline: “Country folks smell cash and come running!” and teases the chaotic gold rush to come.
Leading the ensemble is Ryu Seung Ryong , Yang Se Jong and Lim Soo Jung , joined by an all-star supporting cast including Kim Eui Sung, Kim Sung Oh, Hong Ki Joon, Woo Hyun, Lee Dong Hwi, and U-Know Yunho—13 characters in total, all drawn together by the scent of fortune.

The accompanying trailer kicks off the full-scale battle with Oh Gwan Seok’s (Ryu Seung Ryong) line: “If it hits big, we all win. If it flops, we all crash.” It vividly depicts how characters with different professions and desires—a tomb raider, an appraiser, a police officer, a broker, and a driver—become entangled in pursuit of one goal: the treasure ship.
The dialogue crackles with local flavor, highlighting a colorful cast from across the nation—Seoul, Busan, Mokpo. Add in the series’ retro 1970s styling, complete with retro mise-en-scène and regional dialects, and Low Life promises a gritty yet energetic tone that grounds the story while keeping viewers guessing.
Low Life will be exclusively available on Disney Plus starting July 16th (Wednesday) with 3 episodes, followed by 2 episodes each on July 23rd, July 30th, August 6th, and August 13th, for a total of 11 episodes.
