Penned by star writer Kim Eun Hee, the series is slated for SBS next year.
악귀 The Devil (WT) traverses the story of a woman possessed by evil spirits and a man who can see demons. It is a cryptic thriller that would delve into mysterious deaths surrounding five people.
Notably, this will be writer Kim’s return to SBS after nine years since Three Days. Her recent acclaimed works include Jirisan, Kingdom and Signal.
She will work together with Director Lee Jung Rim who previously worked on lauded series, VIP.
In Demon, Kim Tae Ri (Twenty Five Twenty One) challenges a new genre. She takes the role of Gu San-young, a public servant. She works part-time during the day and studies at night while preparing for the civil service exam.
After receiving the remains of her father, who passed away, San-young becomes embroiled in mysterious deaths that keep happening around her. She herself gradually changes into someone different.
The production team asserts Kim’s intense charisma will bring out San-young’s complex character with good and evil in her.
Character actor Oh Jung Se (It’s Okay To Not Be Okay) portrays Yeom Hae-sang, a professor of folklore from a wealthy family. He has ears and eyes that can see beyond and meets San-young by an unexpected opportunity. Through their meeting, he again encounters the demon who killed her mother right before her eyes as a child.
“Oh Jung-se will portray the role of Yeom Hae-sang, who has special abilities with stable and detailed emotional acting. It will enhance the narrative,” said the production team.
Finally, Hong Kyung (D.P, Weak Hero), who has accumulated an impressive portfolio in various works, appears as Lee Hong-sae, a police officer in the violent crime investigation team. He lives in good taste, only aiming for special promotions, but as he got involved with the above-mentioned characters, he becomes involved in unbelievable incidents.
Hong Kyung has left lingering impressions in a variety of roles he played such as a painter in Lovers of the Red Sky and a merciless villain in D.P. This time, he transforms into an elite detective whose life will change dramatically.
Commenting on the actor, the production team shared that he is a hardworking actor who has deep understanding of story and characterization. As he always studies and ponders deeply, they are confident that he will fully embody the character.
Meanwhile, The Devil is scheduled to begin filming with the goal of airing in 2023.
