Kim Nam-gil has long been a fixture in South Korean dramas and movies, breaking out in "Queen Seondeok" despite his character not appearing until nearly the drama's halfway point. Seo Yea-ji, who is nine years his junior, made her approach into the South Korean entertainment industry with more artistically minded projects, most notably the independent film "Another Way". "Island - Drama" is based on the comic book of the same title, and deals with a mysterious island shrouded in darkness.
Many have wondered about Kim Nam-gil's next drama project as his previous one, "The Fiery Priest" from 2019, was a big hit. Lately he has been filming the blockbuster "Emergency Declaration". Seo Yea-ji last appeared in "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" earlier this summer.
