Netflix has announced its latest Korean drama ‘Gyeongseong Creature’, a thriller series that follows individuals going up against monstrous creatures that were born out of human greed.
‘Gyeongseong Creature’ is helmed by Chung Dong-yoon (‘Stove League’) and is set in the spring of 1945, in the city of Gyeongseong, which is the former name of Korea’s capital city Seoul, and also the name used during Japanese colonial rule.
Abundant with talented cast and crew, ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ is a highly anticipated series that invites the audience to witness the hotbed of turmoil caused by creatures that suddenly appear and wreak havoc on an already troubled world.
The series stars popular Korean star Park Seo-joon (‘Itaewon Class’, ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim’) as Jang Tae-sang, the head of merchant marketplace Golden Jade House who is the wealthiest, most well-connected person in Gyeongseong. Tae-sang is someone who puts money before justice, but all that changes when he crosses paths with Yun Chae-ok while investigating a series of missing person cases.
Han So-hee (‘My Name’, ‘The World of the Married’, Nevertheless’) is the female lead of ‘Gyeongseong Creature’. She plays the role of Yun Chae-ok, a famous bounty hunter who can track down missing people, even ones who are dead. Chae-ok possesses a sharp eye and agile survival skills learned from her rough childhood roaming across Manchuria and Shanghai with her father.
In addition to the above, ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ on Netflix will also star Claudia Kim (‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’, ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’, ‘Marco Polo’) and Wi Ha-jun (‘Squid Game’, Little Women’).
Claudia Kim plays Maeda who is the wife of a powerful official in Gyeongseong during the colonial period. On the other hand, Wi Ha-jun plays Gwon Jun-taek, Tae-sang’s best friend. He joins Tae-sang’s dangerous plan in rescuing the people who have gone missing.
Kang Eun K (‘Dr. Romantic’, ‘Kang Chi, the Beginning’) serves as the screenwriter for ‘Gyeongseong Creature’ with Chung Dong-yoon as the director. The series is produced by Story & Pictures Media with Studio Dragon and kakao ENTERTAINMENT as co-producers.
‘Gyeongseong Creature’, a compelling story about wretched creatures and those who go up against them, will be released globally only on Netflix.
