Joining them in the lead cast are Lee Shin Young and Park Ye Young.
Sejak, The Fascinated (작, 매혹된 자들), is scheduled to be broadcast in January 2024.
The series chronicles the cruel fate of King Lee In who holds a high position but has a lowly heart, and Kang Hee-soo who dreamed of revenge on him but fell in love with him.
Director Jo Nam-kuk, who was recognized for his solid directing skills through dramas such as The Good Detective and The Untouchables, and writer Kim Seon-deok, who started the legend of a well-made historical drama for tvN with The Crowned Clown collaborated for the series.
Jo Jung Suk plays the role of Lee In, an infinitely strong but pathetic man and king. He was taken hostage by the Qing Dynasty, promising to live faithfully as a subject of his older brother Lee Seon, who cared for him, but soon his loyalty was seen as treason, and even his older brother came to hate him.
The moment he was in pain, he met an ‘unknown baduk player’ and his heart was completely stolen. Jo Jung Suk is considered a ‘reliable actor’ who has been recognized for his outstanding acting skills in dramas such as Hospital Playlist, Don’t Dare To Dream, Oh My Ghost, and Nokdu Flower covering everything from romantic dramas to comedies and historical dramas.
Next, Shin Se Kyung plays the role of Kang Hee-soo, a woman who penetrates the king’s heart and dreams of revenge. While Kang Hee-su was gaining fame as an ‘unknown baduk player’, he met Prince Jinhan’s and helplessly fell in love with him. However, she became entangled in the whirlpool of fate and was transformed into a spy.
The actress boasts a wide acting spectrum through numerous box office hits such as the dramas Run On, Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung, and Six Flying Dragons. Expectations are also rising for Shin’s acting transformation as she challenges herself as a cross-dressing woman.
Portraying the role of Kim Myeong-ha, the son of Kim Jong-bae, a military inspector general who kept Lee In in check is Lee Shin Young. He is a handsome nobleman who has mastered the Four Books and Three Classics, and who is also good at archery and swordsmanship, so it is fitting to say that he is also skilled in civil affairs and martial arts.
As his heart continues to be rejected by Kang Hee-soo, whom he admires, he makes an irreversible choice. Lee Shin Young, who is firmly expanding his position as an actor through dramas Crash Landing on You, Rookie Cops, Dr. Romantic 3 and the movie Rebound, will show off his performance in his first historical drama.

Lastly, Park Ye Young takes on the role of Dongsang-gung, a palace guard surrounded by secrets who serves two kings. She is a powerful person in the palace, so much so that people think she is superior to the royal palace, and she has been longing for Yi In’s heart for a long time.
Park Ye Young showed off her unique acting skills in dramas Anna, Soul Mechanic, and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. There is growing interest in what kind of charm he will display in the historical drama.
