Netflix has confirmed the production of its new series "Donggung" (tentative title) and unveiled its casting lineup.
'Donggung' tells the story of Gucheon (Nam Joo-hyuk), who has the ability to cross the world of the ear (⻤), and Ginger (No Yoon-seo), a court lady who keeps a secret, being called by the king (Cho Seung-woo) and digging into the curse in the Donggung Palace. Expectations are high for the performance of Nam Joo-hyuk and Noh Yoon-seo, who approach the deep and secret secrets hidden in Donggung Palace, and Cho Seung-woo, who will play a king with a complicated background.
Meetings with productions optimized for genre products also raise expectations for completeness. Writers Kwon So-ra and Seo Jae-won, who have built the unrivaled world of Korean-style occults through "Incredible" and "The Guest," and director Choi Jung-kyu, who showed outstanding directing skills regardless of genre such as "Devil Judge" and "Red Moon Blue Sun," joined forces.
Nam Joo-hyuk transforms into a character 'Gucheon' who crosses the 'world of ears (鬼)'. Gucheon, who has the ability to cut and kill ghosts with a knife, infiltrates the palace to solve a strange incident in the royal family and faces an unimaginable world of darkness. As Nam Joo-hyuk, who has expanded his acting spectrum across various genres such as "Vigilante," "Twenty-five Twenty-One," "Startup," "Health Teacher Ahn Eun-young," and "Blindingly," chose "Donggung" as his first work after being discharged from the military, expectations for an acting transformation are hotter than ever.
Noh Yoon-seo plays Saenggang, a court lady who is born with the ability to hear ghosts. Ginger uses his ability, which he considers a curse of a lifetime, to dig into the secrets of the palace with Gucheon. Noh Yoon-seo, who emerged as a rookie who gained attention by imprinting his face with "Our Blues" and "The Il-ta Scandal," was praised for depicting a sparkling youth moment through Netflix movies "20th Century Girl" and "Cheong-Seol." Expectations are high on how he will portray "Ganggang," who doubled the character's charm with his excellent acting and extraordinary aura.
Actor Cho Seung-woo, who does not need a modifier, will firmly center the play. "The King," played by Cho Seung-woo, is a person who secretly brings in Gucheon and ginger to solve the curse in the palace. Cho Seung-woo's passionate performance, which will portray the complex side of the king with deep darkness behind it, is also drawing attention.
