[OSEN=Reporter Kim Bo-ra] With Netflix’s new series ‘Seonsan’ released this afternoon (19th), a viewing point that should never be missed was revealed.

#One. An unpredictable story based on Seonsan, which every Korean knows.

‘Seonsan (written by Yeon Sang-ho, Min Hong-nam, and Hwang Eun-yeong, directed by Min Hong-nam) is a story of sinister events as he inherits the land left behind after the death of his uncle, whom he had forgotten even existed. This series depicts a story that unfolds as secrets related to it are revealed. The directorial debut of Min Hong-nam, who worked with director Yeon Sang-ho as an assistant director on ‘Train to Busan’, ‘Telekinesis’, and ‘Peninsula’.

From the movie ‘Train to Busan’ that caused the K-zombie syndrome around the world to the Netflix series ‘Hell’ to the Netflix film ‘Jeong-i’, each work has presented an unrivaled world of work. Director Yeon Sang-ho took charge of the planning and script, and it attracted a lot of attention. As director Yeon Sang-ho said, “If you are a Korean, you have probably heard stories of families fighting because of Seonsan,” Seonsan is a familiar entity that touches the roots of Koreans. By adding the mystery thriller genre to the medium of prenatal care, the film continues to pursue the root of the unusual events that occur after an unexpected prenatal inheritance.

The two directors said, “This is a work that drives tension through the eerie atmosphere of the picture itself and the anxious human emotions. “It will be more interesting if we focus on ‘Who is the culprit?’” (Director Min Hong-nam), “It will be difficult to predict because new cases will bloom again at points where we thought they were solved” (Director Yeon Sang-ho). The charm of the genre is chosen as a point to watch, amplifying curiosity.

#2. Everyone has a family history

Director Min Hong-nam introduces ‘Seonsan’ as “a story about family, which is the foundation of humanity and is close to everyone.” Director Min, who believed that “everyone lives with at least one family problem,” gave each character in the play, including Seo-ha Yoon, Seong-jun Choi, Sang-min Park, and Young-ho Kim, a family history, completing the story into a story that can relate to anyone in the world. “A mystery thriller with a thematic awareness of ‘What kind of existence is a family?’ is ‘Seonsan’ Director Yeon Sang-ho, who was the “beginning of the project,” asks all of us questions about “what is family, and is family love always beautiful?” through characters entangled in evil relationships and desires due to prenatal care. As director Yeon Sang-ho has received warm support by sublimating Korean sentiments into a universal story of humanity in each of his works, we are looking forward to what kind of message he will surprise us with through ‘Seonsan’. In addition, regarding the surprising truth related to prenatal care revealed at the end of the work, director Yeon Sang-ho said, “It is an extreme form of questioning about the love of a twisted family,” further stimulating viewers’ curiosity.

#3. Kim Hyun-joo

Kim Hyun-joo, Park Hee-soon, Park Byeong-eun, and Ryu Kyung-soo of ‘Seonsan’ played the roles of an heir, a detective, and a half-brother who became entangled in the inheritance of a deceased child, creating explosive acting synergy with their inimitable personalities and excellent acting. Kim Hyun-joo plays the role of Yoon Seo-ha, a part-time university lecturer who is looking forward to being appointed as a professor, but becomes embroiled in an ominous incident when she inherits a child due to the sudden death of her uncle. She leads the entire play with destructive energy and provides a strong sense of immersion.

Park Hee-soon played the role of Choi Seong-jun, a detective with a keen sense of investigation who intuited and dug into the fact that a series of incidents were related to a prenatal inheritance, and Park Byeong-eun played the role of Park Sang-min, a detective squad leader who was Seong-jun’s junior and had a love-hate and inferiority complex towards him.

Seong-jun and Sang-min are characters whose relationship has become strained due to an incident in the past, and Park Hee-soon and Park Byeong-eun portray their complex relationships and emotions through solid acting. Ryu Gyeong-soo plays Kim Young-ho, who tightens his grip on her, saying that he, too, deserves a prenatal care, as her half-brother, creating constant tension throughout her relationship. In order to express Kim Young-ho’s strange atmosphere, you can look forward to the new appearance of Ryu Kyung-soo, who incorporated the habits of wild animals into his character and attempted to transform his appearance.
