Transforming into a human-monster character, Kim Nam Gil commands attention with the latest stills unveiled by the production team of Island.
Slated for a December premiere, Island traverses the journey of characters destined to fight against the “evil” that is trying to destroy the world.
The series is based on the webtoon of the same name by writers Yoon In-wan and Yang Kyung-il. Notably, the fantasy-action to be highlighted in the drama is set to unfold in the background of Jeju Island, which brims with folk tales.
To show the tragic fate of Ban, who had to endure battling evil spirits alone for years, expectations for Kim Nam Gil are high. He has endured thousands of years to fight against the jeongyeomgwi, a demon that attacked the mysterious island of Jeju. Together with Mi-ho who has a cryptic fate and Yohan, the youngest exorcist on earth; they are going to question the true meaning of life while surviving an ordeal.
Indeed, the attention of drama fans is focused on what kind of fantasy genre Director Bae’s helming plus the lead cast’s chemistry will complete.
Correspondingly, the latest photos of Kim Nam Gil as Ban evoke a character that cannot be approached. His determined presence reflects his forbearance for his arduous mission.
In another still, Ban pulls the chain tightly without blinking an eye, while looking at someone with vicious eyes as if he is wary, raising questions about what kind of story is hidden in him.
The production team of Island shared the uncanny synergy of Kim with his character Ban.
“From the first filming, Kim Nam Gil not only studied his character delicately but also perfectly assimilated down to the smallest details. Drawing a three-dimensional portrayal of Ban, please look forward to his performance as the focal character of Island.”
Island premieres on TVING on December 30. International fans can watch it on Prime Video.
