Cho Seung-woo, Nam Joo-hyuk, and Roh Yoon-seo at the Netflix 'Donggung' production press conference

A Breathtaking Encounter of Three Characters Surrounding Ghosts and Curses

Even before the Netflix series 'Donggung' is unveiled, it is capturing the attention of viewers. Despite being pre-release, it has already demonstrated an extraordinary presence by ranking high in drama buzzword rankings across both TV and OTT platforms.

The work stars Gu-cheon (played by Nam Joo-hyuk), who possesses the special ability to traverse the world of ghosts, and Saeng-gang (played by Roh Yoon-seo), a court lady harboring a secret. Upon the call of the King (played by Cho Seung-woo), they move to uncover the reality of a bizarre curse lingering in the Eastern Palace. The core driving force of the drama is how these three characters, each with different abilities, will become entangled in the face of the massive destiny known as the curse.

The lineup of actors is also impressive. Nam Joo-hyuk has promised a unique acting transformation as Gu-cheon, who freely moves between the worlds of the living and the dead. Roh Yoon-seo adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the drama as Saeng-gang, who can hear the sounds of ghosts. Additionally, Cho Seung-woo, possessing overwhelming acting skills, joins the cast as the King who hunts ghosts in the abyss, providing weight to the production.

The Meeting of Director Choi Jung-gyu and Writers Kwon So-ra and Seo Jae-won

The ability to build a solid worldview is also an element garnering high expectations. This work is helmed by Director Choi Jung-gyu, who proved his detailed directing skills through 'The Devil Judge' and 'Red Moon Blue Sea.' Furthermore, writers Kwon So-ra and Seo Jae-won, who have designed unrivaled worldviews in genre works such as 'Bulgasal: Immortal Tales' and 'The Guest,' add their writing prowess.

On the morning of the 8th, a production press conference for the Netflix series 'Donggung' will be held, with Director Choi Jung-gyu and actors Nam Joo-hyuk, Roh Yoon-seo, and Cho Seung-woo in attendance. The production team and actors are expected to gather to share specific details about the story and behind-the-scenes tales from filming.
