The blockbuster movie Train to Busan is getting remade by major global production company, Studio Gaumont. The film premiered last July to great success: It was immensely popular domestically, and remains the highest grossing South Korean film of 2016, with more than 11 million people flocking to see it in theaters. Starring Gong Yoo (The Lonely Shining Goblin) as a single dad, the movie unfolds while he takes his daughter to his ex-wife’s home, and a zombie horde invades the train they’re on and proceeds to infect everyone in its path. On Wednesday, Studio Gaumont obtained the creative rights to develop an English version of the film with hopes to make a big splash in Hollywood. Although Studio Gaumont primarily produces French-language projects, it has participated in the making of several notable English-language films, such as Leon: The Professional and The Fifth Element. The primary investor for Train to Busan, NEW Company’s CEO Kim Woo-taek, said, “I’m happy to be collaborating with the best French film studio, Gaumont, that has had a record of success with various international productions. Through this opportunity, I hope that Korean movies will gain more exposure with international audiences.” Not to be bested in effusive praise, a delegate from Gaumont said that everyone fell in love with Train to Busan at the 69th Cannes Film Festival, and that its uniqueness would resonate with American audiences. Since the deal just took place yesterday, a schedule regarding the remake’s production and any casting decisions have yet to be made.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2016/12/blockbuster-zombie-thriller-train-to-busan-to-get-hollywood-remake/

Smart Prison Living is approaching its premiere date, and promotions have begun with the first few posters being released. The show stars Park Hae-soo (Legend of the Blue Sea) as a prisoner and Jung Kyung-ho (Missing 9) as a prison guard; the black dramedy kicks off when Park, a superstar baseball player, somehow becomes a convicted criminal overnight. In prison, he becomes immersed into another world as he gets to know his inmates and how they ended up in jail. In the poster above, Park Hae-soo wears a prisoner’s uniform and asks, “This probably isn’t the end of my life…right?” as he passes by Jung Kyung-ho. The same copy is shown in the next poster, featuring Park Hae-soo solo, while the last poster shows him during his superstar pitcher days, where there are two backgrounds juxtaposed of a crowded baseball stadium and a stark prison. With Answer Me’s PD Shin Won-ho directing, it’s almost guaranteed that Smart Prison Living will be heartwarming. Kyaaah—excited already! Other cast members include Krystal (Bride of the Water God 2017), Jung Hae-in (While You Were Sleeping), Sung Dong-il (The Package), Yoo Jae-myung (Forest of Secrets), and Jung Woong-in (My Sassy Girl). Wednesday-Thursday drama Smart Prison Living will begin airing on tvN starting November 22, after the end of Buam-dong Revenge Club. Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/11/from-baseball-star-to-jailbird-in-smart-prison-living/ 

I’m digging the use of color and graphic overlays in these new character posters for Lookout, MBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday action-thriller that features a motley group of citizens who decide to take action as vigilantes when the system fails them. Each main character has lost a loved one to a criminal, and when the authorities are unable to capture the culprits, these people decide to band together and use their own methods to mete out justice. Lee Shi-young (My Beautiful Bride) plays Jo Su-ji, who is described on the poster as “A former violent-crimes detective, but also a fugitive who’s lost her daughter.” Kim Young-kwang (The Man Living in Our House) is identified as Jang Do-han, a prosecutor who acts like a materialistic snob on the outside to cover up his vengeful heart underneath. His poster copy reads, “Nobody knows my true face, not even me…” He’s meant to be mysterious and hard-edged, which is the opposite of our other prosecutor, played by Kim Tae-hoon (Fantastic), shown smiling while his poster copy calls him “A pure-hearted passionate prosecutor that this era needs.” Kim Seul-gi (Second to Last Love), meanwhile, looks intense as Seo Bo-mi, whose poster reads, “If I can just end this hell, I’ll do anything.” Bo-mi was once a bright, cheery high schooler, but after she was the victim of a crime, she became a withdrawn loner who lives like a recluse. Last but not least, we have Shinee’s Key (Drinking Solo), looking rather mischievous as Gong Kyung-soo, a talented hacker who likes to skateboard and is blessed with a personable attitude and the ability to make friends instantly with people. His poster says, “This genius hacker can’t be left out of the lookouts.” And at the very bottom, we have one last poster featuring a view of the city from above, and the copy reading, “The corrupt cannot become new or be made to repent…” Lookout is directed by PD Sohn Hyung-seok of Two Weeks and is written by a new writer, Kim Soo-eun, who was picked out of last year’s MBC open scriptwriting competition. The drama follows Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People and premieres on May 22.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/05/teamwork-gets-colorful-for-the-lookouts/

Ah, here we have news of a new drama in the works, a series on SBS titled Return that is currently courting Go Hyun-jung (Dear My Friends). Go Hyun-jung is one of those versatile top-rate actors who I can always count on to be so good that she actually amazes me each time (she killed me in Dear My Friends), so I’m curious to see what kind of role she takes next. Return is a mystery-thriller drama that centers around a murder in which privileged children of rich upper-class parents come up as suspects, which then dives into the search for the truth. Go Hyun-jung is up to play Choi Jae-hye, a lawyer who grew up dirt-poor who is now the MC of a legal-themed TV show titled Return. Ja-hye gets assigned as lead on this murder case, kicking off our story. If some elements of that sound familiar, it may be because PD Park Yong-soon also directed last year’s broadcast-show-themed thriller Wanted, where Wanted was also the name of the show-within-the-show. There were a lot of things about Wanted that fell short, and it tended to feel sloppy and sluggish in parts, but I think it had an exciting premise and a lot of potential, so I hope that Return can do things a notch better. (The PD also co-directed fantasy melodrama 49 Days and rom-com Divorce Lawyer in Love. The writer is Choi Kyung-mi, about whom I can’t find much information, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but gives us little to go on.) We’ve had quite a lot of shows taking on the 1% in villains’ roles (remember when they were the heroes and rewards in stories?), but it feels relevant and very much on point with the zeitgeist, and I would relish watching Go Hyun-jung playing the righteous underdog ready to take down some Goliaths. I bet she’d love it too. Return will be a Wednesday-Thursday drama, though an exact airdate has not yet been set.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/09/go-hyun-jung-looks-to-make-her-drama-return-with-sbss-return/

Man, is Yeon Woo-jin having a busy year or what? Upcoming courtroom drama Nothing to Lose will be his third show just this year, including Introverted Boss and Seven Day Queen (♥), and he was also in film The Table, which was released in August, and has Compatibility’s release in the pipeline. Not that I’m complaining, because more Yeon Woo-jin is always a good thing in my book, and with Park Eun-bin (Age of Youth 2) confirmed as his leading lady, my expectations for Nothing to Lose are quite high. I mean, even just their two-shot at the script read is adorable. Though most legal dramas in dramaland tend to focus on prosecutors, defendants, and defense attorneys, it’ll be interesting to see whether shifting the perspective will give Nothing to Lose a different feel. Both the leads play judges who work in the same district, but are polar opposites in terms of personalities. Park Eun-bin is somewhat of a loose cannon, prone to throwing out swear words and working herself up into a temper, while Yeon Woo-jin’s judge is the level-headed, impartial type. They both get swept up in something bigger than themselves as Park Eun-bin unwittingly picks a fight with some powerful baddies who have framed her brother for a murder he didn’t commit, and then has him murdered. There’s a mini-Suspicious Partner reunion going on for the new legal drama, with Dongha and Lee Deok-hwa both signed onto the supporting cast to play a father-son pair. Dongha is a hardworking prosecutor who doggedly pursues defendants, while Lee Deok-hwa will play a politician. Lee Deok-hwa’s character is described as a villain role, but we don’t know whether his prosecutor son will also have not-so-noble tendencies. I find it kind of funny how the two actors have switched sides from one legal drama to the next. Other cast members spotted at the script reading include BESTie’s Haeryung (Star of the Universe), Choi Jung-woo (Legend of the Blue Sea), Woo Hyun (Defendant), and Lee Moon-shik (Wanted). It’s a pretty solid cast, so I’ll be eager to see them inhabit this dramaverse as legal eagles. Nothing to Lose will follow While You Were Sleeping in SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday slot, and premiere on November 22.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/11/cast-of-nothing-to-lose-comes-together-to-hold-first-script-reading/

Hmm, is this going to be a new trend in dramaland? OCN is considering a second season of its hit series Voice, which aired in the first few months of this year. On the heels of KBS’s announcement that Mystery Queen will get another season, it looks like we might get another multi-season crime and mystery drama in Voice. I can see why OCN is eyeing another season, since the show broke the station’s rating records when it aired. Much like Mystery Queen, Voice is a show that could easily work with multiple seasons because of its procedural format. In the first season of the crime thriller, Lee Hana and Jang Hyuk starred as a voice profiler and a police officer at an emergency call center, who were also (reluctantly, on Jang Hyuk’s part) members of the same team which would rush to save victims of crimes within the “golden time,” or the first few minutes after the crime has been committed. I have to admit, I didn’t watch Voice consistently while it was airing because the cases I did catch really freaked me out. I felt that the level of brutality in the show was quite unexpectedly high, even for OCN. I made the mistake of watching the first couple of episodes with the case of the high school student at night, and I couldn’t go anywhere near the show until my mom convinced me to watch the episodes with the case of the stabbed kid. Eugh, I still feel the creepy crawlies whenever I think about the kid’s “mother” and how her face appeared above the washing machine. If Voice does come back for another run, I hope that the director, PD Kim Hong-sun, returns as well, because the intensity of the series was really due to the energy of his fast-paced editing. I remember feeling that the directing really elevated the storytelling in the episodes I watched, and definitely kept me on the edge of my seat as Jang Hyuk ran around with Baek Sung-hyun trying to save the various victims while Lee Hana gave out instructions in his ear. I also hope that the original cast comes back as well, including Yesung and Sohn Eun-seo, and not become another spin-off like its fellow OCN show Bad Guys 2. OCN hasn’t confirmed if and when they will schedule Voice 2, but earlier reports suggested a premiere date as early as the first half of 2018. Mark your calendars for some more terrifying serial killers!Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/07/ocn-considers-a-season-2-for-crime-thriller-voice/

Rapper Heize is trying her hand at variety!On August 10, a source from MBC reported that Heize was officially joining the cast of “I Live Alone.”The show has been going through some lineup changes recently, with long-time member Kim Young Chul leaving and singer Jang Woo Hyuk and webtoon writer Gian84 joining the cast.Heize gained recognition after her appearance on last year’s “Unpretty Rapstar 2” and dropped her mini-album “And July,” featuring a collaboration with Dean, last month.“I Live Alone” currently airs every Friday at 11:10 p.m. KST. The current cast also includes Kim Yong Gun, Jun Hyun Moo, Kim Dong Wan, Hwang Chi Yeol, Lee Guk Joo, Han Chae Ah, and Kim Ban Jang.Source: http://news1.kr/articles/?2744147

Puppy’s baaacckkkk!! And we won’t have to wait long to see Lee Seung-gi grace our screens once again, yay! He’s left the army for all of a day (he was discharged on October 31), and according to reports, he’s raring to get back to work. Which is great news for those of us who’ve been awaiting his return eagerly. I mean, some of us have been counting. First up in the pipeline, of course, is tvN’s upcoming fantasy rom-com Hwayugi. Reports are saying he’s pretty much confirmed, and that the rest of the cast who have already signed on are operating under the assumption that he has all but officially joined the project. Hwayugi marks one of several reunions for Lee Seung-gi: His You’re All Surrounded costar Cha Seung-won is up to play the Bull Demon King, and he’s worked with the Hong sisters before, in My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho. Lee Seung-gi’s role in Hwayugi is Sun Wukong, the mischievous Monkey King who butts heads with Oh Yeon-seo (My Sassy Girl), the monk who holds the key to his locked powers. There’s also a chance that we may get to see Lee Seung-gi even before Hwayugi premieres in December, on the big screen in the sageuk rom-com Compatibility, which also stars Shim Eun-kyung (The Mayor) and Yeon Woo-jin (Seven Day Queen). Filming for Compatibility wrapped up before Lee Seung-gi enlisted, so it’s kind of amazing that it’s only just coming out now that he’s been discharged. I’m also eager to see Lee Seung-gi back in variety, as a long-time collaborator (or slave) of Na PD. It would be so awesome to see him reunite with his 1 Night 2 Days hyungs in a new season of New Journey to the West, which would also tie in nicely with his new drama. Though it might be strange to see him not be the youngest of the group with Mino as a cast member. It’s just really nice to have him back, especially since this is a particularly hard year for enlisting leading men. And also, eager to take on work so quickly after his return: Lee Seung-gi told reporters that he has so much energy and will do so many projects that his fans will have a hard time keeping up with him. You’ve all been warned!Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/10/lee-seung-gi-hits-the-ground-running-after-army-discharge/

With most of the current weekend family dramas having passed the midway point, broadcasters are already planning the next ones to air. KBS’s upcoming Father is Weird has gone on a casting blitz, offering roles to key mainstay actors on the family drama scene including Kim Young-chul (All’s Well With a Happy Home) and Kim Hae-sook (Yes, That’s How It Is). Father is Weird is about a family that lives on the outskirts of Seoul, held together by its hardworking patriarch and his wife, presumably to be played by Kim Young-chul and Kim Hae-sook. However, this father has been hiding his real identity for thirty-five years, and now all of his children are grown and about to be married. His wife is a dedicated, responsible mother to his three daughters and one son, but with him, she’s full of aegyo. Suddenly one day, a young man shows up at the household, and declares that he is the son of the family. Despite knowing that he is not the birth father to this young man, the patriarch takes him in and insists that he is his true son. Lee Joon (Woman With a Suitcase) has confirmed that he will be playing the male lead for Father is Weird. This will be his first time acting in a family drama. The role was originally offered to his Woman With a Suitcase co-star Joo Jin-mo, but he declined due to scheduling issues. In the original character bio, Joo Jin-mo was supposed to play a cold, proud, and sensitive celebrity who grew up in America and became a successful actor in Korea. Whether Lee Joon’s character will be adapted from the previous description or whether it’ll be scrapped for something entirely new is still up in the air.    Jung So-min (The Sound of Your Heart, D-Day) is in talks to star as the female lead. If she does decide to join the cast, it will be a reunion between her and Kang Suk-woo (Glorious Day) who played her father-in-law in Can We Get Married? Kang Suk-woo has already confirmed his role as a successful department head at a major news outlet, who proposes a “marriage graduation” to his wife (meaning that they still remain married legally and socially, but are free to live unhindered by each other’s interference). Award-winning writer Lee Jung-sun will be writing the scripts for Father is Weird. She was the main creative force behind Ojakkyo Brothers, which I enjoyed immensely. What’s got me worried is the PD, Lee Jae-sang. He’s directed some of my favorite family dramas like Sons of Sol Pharmacy, but his most recent projects Bel Ami and Trot Lovers were just awful. Like poke-out-my-eyes-please awful. Well, hopefully, he’ll make a turnaround with this upcoming series. Weekend family drama Father is Weird will air in February next year after Laurel Tree Tailors finishes its run.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2016/12/lee-joon-jung-so-min-up-to-star-in-new-family-drama-father-is-weird/

After seven years of supporting roles as the funny friend or the second lead who’ll never get the girl, it’s finally time for Go Kyung-pyo’s (Chicago Typewriter) turn in the spotlight. The actor has signed on for his first title role in the upcoming human drama Strongest Deliveryman, set for KBS’s summer Friday-Saturday slot. He’ll be starring opposite Chae Soo-bin (Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People), who’s also confirmed. Strongest Deliveryman is an underdog success story about twentysomethings at the bottom of the employment food chain: part-time workers struggling to get by on hourly wages in “Hell Joseon,” a reference to the way contemporary youths see the socioeconomic climate of Korea. The main characters are jajangmyun delivery workers, and the drama gets its title from Go Kyung-pyo’s character, Choi Kang-soo (choi kang = “strongest”), a “veteran” deliveryman with five years experience. He’s described as a human turbo engine with no brakes, who puts his life on the line no matter what he sets out to do, whether fight or love. The drama will tell the story of his growth as he goes from delivering jajangmyun to becoming the CEO of his own delivery company. Chae Soo-bin’s character also delivers jajangmyun, and she’s so single-minded about making money that she turns down all advances from men. My money’s on the human turbo engine with no brakes. I’m sure they’re going to make an adorable couple, but right now I’m watching both of their currently airing shows and I can’t imagine them being in love with anyone except Im Soo-jung and Yoon Kyun-sang. On the upside, they’re both doing extremely well in their current roles (coincidentally, both devoted puppy loves with a bittersweet touch), so it’s probably a smart move to ride that wave of popularity even if it means jumping from one drama set to the next. The drama is described as an upbeat and satisfying story about passionate youths, and now that they’ve cast Go Kyung-pyo and Chae Soo-bin as the underdogs, it seems impossible not to root for them. Strongest Deliveryman comes from the writer of Joseon Gunman and the PD of Oohlala Spouses, and follows The Best Hit on Friday-Saturday in late July. Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/05/go-kyung-pyo-takes-on-first-leading-role-in-strongest-deliveryman/ 

Yay! A fourth season of Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village is in the works, and Lee Seo-jin (Marriage Contract) has already confirmed that he will be returning to work with Na PD. I watch and enjoy all of Na PD’s shows, including the currently airing New Journey to the West 4 and Useless, Mysterious Trivia Dictionary, but I’m happy to see him going back to one of his tvN flagship shows, in what will be the seventh installment in the Three Meals a Day series. There’s no broadcast schedule yet, and Na PD’s busy with his two shows that are airing now, but I’m just glad to hear that Lee Seo-jin will be reuniting with Na PD, and that Eric (Oh Hae-young Again) and Yoon Kyun-sang (Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People) are considering offers to return. They had a pretty great dynamic in the last season, and I just hope Yoon Kyun-sang brings his two cats with him again if he does confirm. Lee Seo-jin’s reluctantly growing affection for the various animals in each season are always a highlight. I crack up whenever I think about Lee Seo-jin’s longstanding “purely business” relationship with Na PD, because what started out as a guest stint on 1 Night 2 Days five years ago has spawned into multiple successful variety franchises, and an image transformation for the actor. Who knew that grump was so funny, and that the “art school hyung” would end up winning the variety Daesang at tvN’s award ceremony? It sounds like they’re planning to start filming in July or August for Season 4 of Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village, which means we can probably expect the show to air in the fall. Will Na PD ever get some rest?Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/06/three-meals-a-day-fishing-village-returns-for-season-4/

It’s a big day for Song Joong-ki, who just announced his impending marriage to Descended From the Sun co-star Song Hye-gyo. The two actors met on the set of the hit drama, which started filming back in June of 2015, and are planning to get married this October. Song Joong-ki is also considering a drama comeback as early as later this year in Kingdom, the highly anticipated new project from writer Kim Eun-hee of Signal, Ghost, and Sign. His reps say that he’s considering an offer to headline, but is not confirmed for the role. Kingdom is a zombie apocalypse sageuk set in Joseon, about a crown prince who sets out to investigate a mysterious plague that’s spreading across his country. What he discovers is an atrocious epidemic in the form of zombies. The blockbuster-scale drama will be helmed by film director Kim Sung-hoon (Tunnel, A Hard Day), and has been planned for a total of 8 episodes which will be completely pre-produced. Song Joong-ki has played his share of kings and badasses, so I’d vote for him to lead a war against zombies. I’m just happy he’s considering a new drama, even if it’s going to be a measly 8 episodes. I’m mostly excited about seeing the first zombie K-drama, because after watching Train to Busan, my expectations are pretty damn high. But I have every faith that if anyone could write the perfectly thrilling zombie apocalypse drama, it’d be Kim Eun-hee. There’s just something really appealing about Joseon zombies—more swords, fewer resources, more carnage! Yay? Kingdom will be a Netflix original series, and plans to begin production in September for a premiere later this year.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/07/song-joong-ki-considers-signal-writers-zombie-apocalypse-drama/

Song Hye-gyo (Descended From the Sun) and Song Joong-ki must’ve timed their wedding announcement with new casting offers or vice versa, because on the same day that news broke of their coupledom and October wedding, Song Joong-ki’s name came up for zombie apocalypse drama Kingdom, and Song Hye-gyo announced that she’s considering an offer for a new period film called Go Back Home. The film is set during the Japanese occupation and tells the story of comfort women who were recruited under false promises of work or education, and forced into sexual slavery and stationed in brothels to serve the Japanese imperial army. The production is courting Song Hye-gyo and Go Hyun-jung (Dear My Friends) to headline, and both actresses have stated that they’re considering the project carefully. If they sign on, they’ll be playing sisters, and not much else has been released about their roles. Director Ryu Seung-wan’s (Veteran) wife, film producer Kang Hye-jung, is behind the production (they’re also the team behind Song Joong-ki’s upcoming occupation-era prison break movie Battleship Island). It’s been three years since Song Hye-gyo’s last domestic film, the warm family drama My Brilliant Life, and five years since Go Hyun-jung’s action comedy Miss Go, though Go Hyun-jung has recently completed shoots for the low-budget indie film Winter Guest Scarier Than a Tiger, which will be released soon. I’m so glad to know that more films are going to tackle the subject of comfort women, because it’s a truly tragic part of Korea’s history that should be talked about. Last year’s award-winning Spirits’ Homecoming was based on real-life women who had come forward to share their stories of being forced into slavery, and though it struggled to get funding and complete production, it ultimately topped the box office on opening weekend. I can only hope that a major film with A-list stars will do even more to bring these stories to light. Go Back Home is still in the planning stages, but hopes to begin filming later this year.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/07/song-hye-gyo-go-hyun-jung-up-for-occupation-era-film-about-comfort-women/

This girl is my kind of doctor: Work hard, play even harder. Kim Ah-joong (Wanted) stars in tvN’s upcoming drama Live Up to Your Name as a cold surgeon with a deep, hidden pain. She’s a strong proponent of modern medicine despite coming from a family of oriental medicine doctors. The main conflict occurs when she somehow becomes involved with Heo Im, played by Kim Nam-gil (Pandora). He is an accidental time traveler from 400 years in the past, and coincidentally also the best acupuncturist in oriental medicine’s history. So there’s a pretty good basis for many opportunities in cute clashing and rom-com hijinks to occur. In the newly released teaser, Kim Ah-joong lets out a fatigued sigh at her desk. However, when she gets a text invitation to the opening of the trendiest new nightclub in town, her entire demeanor changes. She whips off her doctor’s gown to reveal that she’s been wearing a fake half-blouse covering a see-through crop top and miniskirt. She primps in the mirror, and after doing a last makeup check, opens the door to leave work. On the other side, Kim Nam-gil in his full traditional Joseon garb turns bright red as he sees her revealing outfit. Speechless, he can’t say a word but continues checking her out as she steps around him to begin her night festivities. After seeing his performance in The Pirates, I think Kim Nam-gil has great comedic timing, and this teaser just reinforces my view. So I’m excited to see how this timeslip drama will utilize his talents. Live Up to Your Name begins on August 12, after Forest of Secrets finishes its run.. Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/07/jaw-dropping-club-hopping-kim-ah-joong-in-live-up-to-your-name/ 

OCN’s new death clairvoyant mystery drama Black released two new character teasers featuring leads Go Ara (Hwarang) and Song Seung-heon (Saimdang, Light’s Diary). Respectively, the two main actors play a death-foreseeing human woman and a soul-collecting grim reaper who fall in love, defying the preset laws of the universe. While initially the synopsis of this drama reminded me of The Lonely Shining Goblin due to the supernatural bride element, these teasers definitely evoke a darker tone. Go Ara plays “the woman who predicts death, Ha-ram.” She’s shown to be in sunglasses because when death draws near, she can see it on a person as shadows surrounding them. She says in the teaser that she can see how they will die. Being afraid of the death she can see so clearly, she hides behind her sunglasses. However, in the middle of the teaser, she takes them off and touches the shadows, which seem to explode beneath her hand. Flashes of a burning car go by, and the teaser ends with a closeup into Go Ara’s haunting eyes. The teaser for “the grim reaper who protects death, Black,” played by Song Seung-heon, is eerie with shadowy vapors flying everywhere. He advances on a dead body, and mercilessly tells the dead man to accept his death as fate. According to his character description, he’s ultimately cold when faced with the death of humans. His job is to collect souls and protect death, and he can’t understand human emotions. He’s known for his pitiless reputation even in the grim reaper community, and his elite abilities have allowed him to advance far in his career. Written by Choi Ran (God’s Gift—14 Days), and directed by PD Kim Hong-sun (Voice), OCN’s new weekend drama Black premieres on October 14, after the end of Rescue Me.Source-http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/09/grim-reaper-song-seung-heon-and-death-psychic-go-ara-in-ocns-black/

The movie "Asura: The City of Madness" made a record on the first day of release. According to the Korean Film Council, "Asura: The City of Madness" hit a number of 476,527 on the 29th. The initial record breaker was "Hwai" on the 9th of October 2013 with 362,280. This was also a holiday as it was 'Hangeul Day'. "Asura: The City of Madness" did a better job on a normal day. "Asura: The City of Madness" is based in the city of Annam, a virtual city which is a playground for crime where Han Do-kyeong (Jeong Woo-seong) a detective, Park Seong-bae (Hwang Jeong-min) a corrupt major and Kim Cha-in (Kwak Do-won) a prosecutor commit crime for their own benefits.
