Village’s mysterious new schoolteacher and eager policeman
by girlfriday
I like the potential odd-coupling of this crime-solving partnership in SBS’s new murder mystery thriller Village: Secret of Achiara, which has released a new teaser. Moon Geun-young stars as a new teacher who moves to the sleepy little village of Achiara, and Yook Sung-jae is the overly eager policeman in town who takes it upon himself to be her personal welcome wagon. He’s met with frosty indifference from her at every turn, but they’ll eventually come to help each other solve a murder.
The chilling small-town mystery takes place in Achiara, where everybody knows everybody’s business and there’s hardly any crime. That is, until a young woman’s corpse is uncovered after having been buried long ago, and suddenly every resident becomes a murder suspect. Moon Geun-young plays an English teacher who moves to the town and works to uncover the mystery, though she has secrets of her own to protect.
Everyone else is wary of the town’s new resident and they all treat her as an outsider, but Yook Sung-jae is a happy-go-lucky policeman who’s excited to make her acquaintance. She’s described as quiet and reserved, while he’s a bouncing ball of energy. In the teaser, he introduces himself to her eagerly and offers to help her with anything and everything that she needs. Moon Geun-young shuts him up with one word: “Why?”
On her very first day at work, the town gets turned upside down when Moon Geun-young discovers a corpse, and in the teaser Yook Sung-jae says to his fellow officer, “Do you really think it’s a serial murder? How great would that be?” Um… you mean like, great in an I’m-so-bored-of-small-town-life way, not a yay-murder way, right? Hm, in a drama where everyone’s a suspect, you never know…
The drama co-stars Ohn Joo-wan, who also returns to the village after some time away. He’s welcomed back by Shin Eun-kyung, who seems to be hiding some secrets as well: A young girl accuses her of being happy that art teacher Jang Hee-jin suddenly disappeared. Shin Eun-kyung warns in voiceover: “No one in this neighborhood can be trusted.”
Lee Yeol-eum says that she knows who killed that woman, as someone creepily follows her home in the rain. Moon Geun-young gets chased in the rain as well, and as she picks up a weapon to fight back, someone says in voiceover: “It won’t be easy to leave this village.” Why, because everybody dies? Great, I think I’m going to need a blanket and a friend to watch this show.
Village: Secret of Achiara airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning October 7.

Chilling, for sure! I felt a bit scared watching the teaser (and reading the description) when it didn't even show anything scary. I wanna watch the drama as I like mysteries but at the same time, I'm scared of being scared. Lol.

On Ju Wan looks so ugly with his blonde hair. So contrast with his cool image on Punch.

I am guessing that the shot of the cop in the "sleepy village" with the ten-story condo development in the background isn't in the final cut of the episode.
Anyhow, looks like they are trying for a spooky mood, which I like. Kudos to our heroine for facing down threatening stalker by picking up a nice chunk of iron to lay the b**t*** out.

Would there be any loveline? Another noona-dongsaeng pairing?
Well, it would be the first for Moon Geun Young since she always paired with older actors.

Oh Jang Hee Jin is still in the drama...hmmm, I'm still thinking/am curious about why Kim Jae Wook dropped out but not as sad before.
It looks good, though I haven't warmed to YSJ, so I hope I don't block him out. That'd probably affect my attention to detail when it comes to the story.

Oh, YSJ oppa ?? Favorite scene was when he was at Energy and Confidence Level 100 talking to MGY, then with just "Waeyo?", he lost it all ?? Please recap this, Dramabeans team ????

Can I also share my situation when I watched this trailer... ?? I knew the drama was, you know, suspense. And I already saw the other trailers. But because of YSJ oppa, I couldn't wait and completely forgot where I am...hospital, in an unlit room, at 1:00am, in near complete silence... Now, even with the lights, the tingling sensation from the trailer seems stuck ??

YSJ looks like such an earnest cop. I hope he can pull off the role. MGY is perfectly cast! It feels more like a movie than a drama series, which makes me concerned about the pacing, but I still can't wait

YSJ looks like Im Joo-hwan in Oh My Ghost. Must be the role and the uniform. I hope he would not turn out to be the bad guy though.

The more I see updates about this show, the more I love it! Everything about Village is so intriguing and thrilling. Even Sungjae's over-the-top kindness stirs something in me, but who knows maybe I'm just too paranoid.
Anyways, I don't really dig it, but Ohn Joowan looks younger with that hair!

Usually in dramas, the actors start out looking healthy and full of energy and look more and more worn out as the drama progresses due to the system but Sungjae already looks worn out
