Netflix has dropped a new trailer and poster for upcoming Korean drama “Gyeongseong Creature” which is starring Park Seo-joon and Han So Hee.
The series, set in the spring of 1945, tells the story of two young individuals battling against a monstrous entity born from human greed.
The teaser poster reveals a tense and suspenseful moment, featuring Jang Tae-sang (played by Park Seo-joon) and Yoon Chae-ok (played by Han So-hee) confronting a mysterious presence. The imagery of prison bars and desperate hands stretching out towards the protagonists hints at the deep secrets within Ongseong Hospital, one of many vital locations featured in the series. Park Seo-jun, as Jang Tae-sang, the influential master of the House of Golden Treasure, and Han So-hee, portraying the relentless sleuth Yoon Chae-ok, bring depth and intrigue to their roles. Park Seo-jun shares his excitement: “The series combines tension-filled creature encounters with a gripping survival tale.” Han So-hee adds, “The unique blend of historical drama and creature genre offers an exciting diversity.”
The teaser trailer intensifies the anticipation, showcasing the powerful first appearance between Tae-sang and Chae-ok. The plot thickens as Tae-sang, who controls crucial information in the bustling Bonjeong district, faces a dire threat: find the missing lover of Commissioner Ishikawa before the cherry blossoms fall or lose everything. This leads him to Chae-ok and her father, experts in tracking down missing persons. Together, they infiltrate the mysterious Ongseong Hospital, the epicenter of suspicion and intrigue. The trailer leaves viewers wondering what dark secrets and conspiracies lie ahead for the duo in this shadowy era.
Marvel fans may recognize Park Seo-Joon from his recent turn as Prince Yan in “The Marvels,” though he also had a small role in 2019’s “Parasite.” Outside those film roles, he’s led several K-dramas, including Hwarang and “Itaewon Class.” Han So-Hee, meanwhile, previously starred in the 2021 action series “Undercover“ and romantic drama “Nevertheless.”
“Gyeongseong Creature” is poised to be a dazzling highlight at the year’s end and beginning, weaving a tale of confrontation against a creature borne of greed. Anticipation builds as Part 1 is slated for release on December 22, 2023, and Part 2 on January 5, 2024, exclusively on Netflix.
