Monstrous
Koo Kyo-hwan is helming the K-drama Monstrous alongside Hospital Playlist's Shin Hyun-bin, Vincenzo's Kwak Dong-Yeon, and The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim's Nam Da-reum, following his stellar performance in D.P. (which was just renewed for a second season).
Monstrous will follows those who have been drawn in by a curse from a mysterious creature that shouldn't exist. As locals are swept up in the calamity, a squad of archaeologists led by Jung Ki-hoon and Lee Soo-jin will strive to solve the case.
Han, the director, uses his magic in the series again after directing Hellbound. When talking about cooperating with Koo, Han says that Koo is a funny person that loves to tell jokes. “I’m just a huge fan of his joke. Maybe Kyoo-wan wants a little too far with the joke but I always love it”, says Han.
