Trailer for season 2 of the Korean Mystery Series

Netflix has unveiled a trailer for the popular Korean mystery series “Gyeongseong Creature” ahead of the second season’s upload on September 27.

The first season was set in 1945, during the Japanese occupation of Seoul, then known as Gyeongseong. The Imperial Army’s biological experiments on humans were not only cruel, they unleashed a monstrous creature.

The second season jumps to present-day Seoul and follows Chae-ok (played by Han So-hee) as she encounters Ho-jae (Park Seo-jun), who bears an uncanny resemblance to the man she once knew in 1945.

It also introduces two major new characters. One of these is Seung-jo, a shadowy employee of Jeonseung Biotech – formerly Ongseong Hospital in Season 1, who is played by Bae Hyeon-seong (“Our Blues,” “Hospital Playlist”).

The other, played by Lee Mu-saeng (“The Glory,” “The Silent Sea”) is a character who devises a sinister plan in the laboratories of Jeonseung Biotech to recreate the 1945 experiments.

The show is directed by Chung Dong-yoon from a script by Kang Eun-kyung. The production is by Story&Pictures Media, part of Kakao Entertainment and co-produced by Studio Dragon of CJ ENM.

The first season was released in late 2023 and spent four weeks in the streamer’s global top ten TV (non-English) charts and reached the top ten national charts in 69 countries.

The streamer’s other returning Korean scripted content this year includes: a third and final season of “Sweet Home,” released in July, and “Hellbound S2,” “Zombieverse S2” and “Squid Game S2” are all arriving. In the unscripted segment, there is also a new season of ‘Physical 100’.
