Making viewers familiar with the actors rounding up the park rangers in Jirisan, iQiyi presents the skilled and seasoned roster of actors joining Gianna Jun and Ju Ji Hoon.
Gearing up as national park rangers, Sung Dong Il, Oh Jung Se and Cho Han Cheul complete the members of the Haidong Branch search and rescue team of Mount Jiri.
The production team reveals that the trio worked very well together and scenes among them will keep viewers glued to the action. They look forward to showcasing their collaboration as members of the Haidong Branch park rangers with fans.
In the latest unveiled teasers, the lead actors were also seen in action scaling Jirisan.
Gianna Jun and Ju Ji-hoon are seen on a mission together in matching red mountaineering jackets. Even as they are taking on a park ranger role for the first time, Jun and Ju display some excellent mountaineering skills in the latest production stills.
Athletic and determined, Jun embodies her role as leader of the search and rescue team. Ju’s energy and enthusiasm as a rookie ranger shines through and is seen in an exciting still abseiling off the rocks!
Gianna Jun and Ju Ji Hoon’s On-Screen Chemistry
The production team shared that the female lead character Seo Yi-gang was envisioned as a “healthy and beautiful female warrior”. The first – and only – actress they wanted for the role was Gianna Jun.
“In previously released trailers, we can see that Gianna Jun is in good form as the senior park ranger. Although the shooting process has been extremely physically demanding, Jun has kept the on-set atmosphere and chemistry going strong.”
Moreover, the production team also shared that Ju Ji Hoon’s smile was what won them over.
“He is able to express innocence, playfulness, cruelty, strength and much more with just his smile. He matches our vision of Kang Hyun-jo who is warm, can exert an air of dominance, and is able to express despair.”
A Thrilling Drama That Consoles
Writer Kim Eun-hee revealed Jirisan not only revolves around mystery and suspense, but will also be a drama that heals and warms the heart. It marks a departure from the style of the previous series written by Kim.
“I feel that I’ve only talked about murders, but I do feel a need for the show to heal the soul. That is why we have chosen to follow the story of park rangers among the mountain, trees and nature of Jirisan. In our mundane reality, I hope the series’ spotlight of the beautiful peak can help viewers cleanse their negative emotions.”
Jirisan follows the team of national park rangers who are responsible for the search and rescue operation at Mount Jiri. Experienced ranger (played by Gianna Jun) and rookie ranger (played by Ju Ji Hoon) are set to unravel the secrets of the peak.
Its creative team is famous for hit projects such as Descendants of the Sun, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Signal and Kingdom series franchise.
