Back in Korea, Jang played a fund manager-turned-lawyer in 2011's "Midas", also starring Lee Min-jung and Kim Hee-ae. He next starred in legal thriller "The Client" (2011) with Ha Jung-woo and Park Hee-soon, saying the film satisfied his wish to portray a more emotionally complex persona. Playing a man accused of murdering his wife, Jang said he had to find "the right balance" "as someone who can appear at times like a criminal or at other times like an innocent man."
