"The Cursed" Aims to Impress With Subject Matter, Production Quality and Acting

Published on 2020/02/10 | Source

The new tvN drama "The Cursed" opened its doors on the 10th of February at 9:30PM. We take a look at the key observation points where immersion is high.

- 1. How to hurt someone with a curse, stronger than evil

The never before seen, sensational subject of the drama 'teases visual pleasure'

"The Cursed" is an occult drama rare to find in Korea. The drama features unconventional themes such as a 'curse' that harms people and 'the one inflicting the curse with more powers than the evil of the curse itself', which will provide a sense of fun and visual pleasure that should not be missed. In particular, it is expected that writer Yeon Sang-ho, who captivated the public with his storytelling and maximized the entertainment pleasure in the previously-unprecedented fresh material and genre of 'zombies' as the director and writer of the hit movie "Train to Busan", will do it again. While the original occult works revolve around the Catholic world view, the drama "The Cursed" is based on the deep-rooted evil and the indigenous faith of Korea, and stimulates curiosity with its sensational setting of 'a curse fighting great evil'. As if to prove this, Uhm Ji-won had said, "I read all 12 scripts on the spot without being able to help myself. Every episode is intense".

- 2. Writer Yeon Sang-ho and PD Kim Yong-wan, "Train to Busan" - "The Wrath"

Continuous intensity! High quality visuals to hit the drama industry

"The Cursed" is directed by Kim Yong-wan from the film "Champion" and written by Yeon Sang-ho from "Train to Busan". In particular, the spirit of Chungmuro's top-level staff makes us look forward to "The Cursed". In order to create a new attraction and creative imagination for the drama "The Cursed" that we've never seen before, producer Im Min-sup from "The Wrath", producer Han Dong-hwan from "Champion" and other staff who participated in "Train to Busan", "The Wrath" and "Architecture 101" contribute to the birth of another well-made drama. The production team's efforts to capture the high quality visual beauty of the drama reflect on the drama's meticulous story, the creepy tension that keeps one's eyes peeled. In particular, the different subtitles in every episode are another viewing point that cannot be missed.

- 3. Uhm Ji-won and Jung Ji-so VS Sung Dong-il and Jo Min-soo

Character synchronization of 300%!

Veteran actors Uhm Ji-won, Sung Dong-il and Jo Min-soo synchronize 300% with their characters and so does Jung Ji-so. Uhm Ji-won is a passionate reporter named Im Jin-hee who wants the truth. While she digs for information about the nation's greatest IT company, Forest, her client is involved in a mysterious accident and she goes beyond a reporter's principles and joins hands with evil. Jung Ji-so (Baek So-jin) is the teenage 'curser' who contributes for Uhm Ji-won with the powers to curse. The process of destroying evil with the power and justice of the curse of the two people who have become one with destiny will provide fun and thrilling catharsis. Sung Dong-il takes on the character of Jin Jong-hyeon, a human who experiences the turning point of his life by turning into a demon overnight. Jo Min-soo is a mysterious woman who has a profound knowledge of shamanism hidden behind her name as a Forest subsidiary. "The Cursed" is broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 9:30PM on tvN.
