Netflix’s Gyeongseong Creature drops date announcement teaser
by missvictrix
For a drama with so much hype, it makes sense that Netflix needed to fan the flames, so here we are with a super tease-y teaser for the upcoming historical action series Gyeongseong Creature. The drama stars Park Seo-joon (Itaewon Class) and Han So-hee (Soundtrack #1). The setting is 1945, in a hospital where some “creatures” have emerged. And there’s an action-adventure feel here that is infectious. Give me good costuming, rifles, and a duo running for their lives while delivering one-liners, and I’ll be fully on board.
The date announcement teaser first sets the stage for the story:
Spring of 1945. There were humans and creatures in a hospital of Gyeongseong.
Clearly that’s more than enough context for you, thank you very much, and we’re then treated to a resplendent Park Seo-joon as Jang Tae-sang. He’s a successful and well-liked businessman from his character description, but in the teaser he’s looking battle weary and drop-dread handsome broken by what he witnesses. He cocks his rifle and advances on a foe we can’t see. In another corridor, our equally intense-looking heroine and adventurer Yoon Chae-ok (Han So-hee) does the same.
While the leads are getting all the fanfare here, I would be remiss not to put a spotlight on the rest of the cast as well: Kim Hae-sook (Strong Girl Nam-soon), Wie Ha-joon (The Worst of Evil), Jo Han-chul (The Matchmatchers), and Claudia Kim (a.k.a. Soo-hyun)(Chimera) — and that’s not even all the wonderful and familiar faces that’ll show up here.
Directed by PD Jung Dong-yoon (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay) and written by Kang Eun-kyung (of the Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim series), Part 1 drops on December 22, and Part 2 drops on January 5. This seems like a new adventure in cutting up dramas into seasons and parts, and if they must do it, this two-week break seems much more humane than the usual multi-month or multi-year wait.

Looking forward to this especially if they can get heart-pumping action going, the creature effects done well, and the creepiness factor just right.

Has shades of Sweet Home and I'm loving it. Hope it's as good. Fingers crossed and all that.

@attiton Seon-ha - I am... cautiously optimistic.
Few K-Dramas in the supernatural/horror action genre can pull off what KINGDOM pulled off.
But let's see how this one does.

Hmm... "cautiously optimistic" sounds just about right. I will second that.

1. I think the real coincidence was the first part of first season that was the final Netflix Kdrama/K-content release of the year. Last year (2022), The Glory got the first part of season one on December 30. And then, this year, here comes this Kdrama that would be the final Netflix Kdrama/K-content release of the year with the first part of first season. I hope Gyeongseong Creature will be one of Netflix hits just like The Glory did.

And also including Park Ji-hwan (My Lovely Boxer), Choi Young-joon (Bloodhounds), Kim Yool-ho (Rookie Cops) and even Im Chul-soo (Alchemy of Souls).

This poster made me want to rewatch GDT's HELLBOY movies, esp the first one))) Combo of writer and director seems kinda random - is it just me? - but PD did a god's work in IOTNBO. And supporting cast is cool. Damn, I'm thorn between being intrigued and uninterested in leads. Will the show be thrilling enough to make me forget about this TINY detail?

NOT liking the trend of "cut up dramas!" It's a just a ploy for those who are afraid to commit to a 16-20 episode series.

Was Itaewon Class really Park Seo-joon's last drama??? I guess so. Huh.
Also, not thrilled about the "Part 1" aspect here. All in all, I'd say I'm a little less excited after this teaser...boo.

Ofc the most interesting part of this for me is the utter mess and unstable insanity Korea must've been between the end of World War 2 in 1945 and the start of the Korean War in 1950, but I bet this show isn't gonna do THAT part of its setting justice at all, is it... Or is it going to attempt to be another High Metaphor drama and therefore lose me (and also still not do the aforementioned justice)... I bet I can guess where the monsters come from... 😂😂
Guess we'll find out! Lol

Yeah, I saw those armed guards or whatever, and my permanently historypilled brain just went, "so who are these security personnel? were they working for the Japanese occupiers? Korean resistance? the incoming Soviet or U.S. troops? or did someone sneak an anti-monster paramilitary organization past all the various superpowers and factions running amok on the peninsula?"

As soon as I heard they were splitting it up, I got really worried and wondered if I should just not bother until it was all out. But then they announced that it would only be a short wait between the parts and I am back on board and enthusiastically looking forward to it! Netflix releasing a drama in two parts separated by only a short time feels like a step toward releasing one as a couple of episodes every week and I am here for that.
