Genie TV's original drama 'Scarecrow' (script Lee Ji-hyun, director Park Joon-woo), which is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2026, is a story that unfolds when a detective investigating the true culprit of the serial murder case forms an unexpected cooperative relationship with the person he hated. From 1988 to 2019, it is expected that the truth-tracking and alliance with hatred between two men involved in bad relationships will create intense suspense. Director Park Joon-woo, who is loved by the public for details that maximize genre pleasure such as 'Exemplary Taxi'Crash', will direct and ensure completeness. In particular, the reunion with writer Lee Ji-hyun, who worked together in 'Model Taxi', makes us look forward to the birth of a different criminal investigation thriller.
Above all, expectations are high for the meeting between Park Hae-soo, Lee Hee-joon and Kwak Sun-young, who trust and watch. First, Park Hae-soo took on the role of Kang Tae-joo, a detective who does not compromise with injustice, who was demoted to his hometown of Gangseong after acting as an ace detective. Kang Tae-joo, who tried to use the serial murder case of Kang Sung as an opportunity to recover his honor, encountered Cha Si-young (Lee Hee-joon), the prosecutor in charge and a bad actor during his school days, and faced a stormy change. Kang Tae-joo, who has to catch a man who wants to die and a man who hates to die, encounters an unexpected situation as he delves into the case. Park Hae-soo, who will add depth to the play by completing the complex and complex narrative of Kang Tae-joo's character, said "I'm so grateful that a great production team can participate in the work prepared with great heart and soul, and I'm looking forward to acting with sincere actors." I'll live in a hot and passionate work," he said, expressing his extraordinary determination.
Lee Hee-jun is a prosecutor of an elite family, but he performs enthusiastically as Cha Si-young, who is filled with endless desire inside. He, who wants to solve the high-profile serial murder case and use his fame to enter politics, will engage in precarious and close cooperation with fellow student and ace detective Kang Tae-joo (Park Hae-soo), who he bullied during his school days. It is expected that Lee Hee-joon, who has built his own acting world, will show what kind of transformation he will make with Cha Si-young, who is full of twists. Lee Hee-jun said "It was so much fun from the script. I'm honored to be with you in a meaningful work, and I'm looking forward to it."
Kwak Sun-young plays Seo Ji-won, an alumnus of Kang Tae-joo and a just and reckless Kang Sung-il Ilbo reporter. He does not let go of the knight who bites him once, but he goes out as a watchman while watching the police closely while the investigation into the serial murder of Kang Sung is underway. I wonder what charm Kwak Sun-young, who is loved for her solid acting skills and personality, will attract viewers this time. Kwak Sun-young is happy to meet his viewers through "The Scarecrow". I'm really looking forward to what kind of energy the director, staff, and actors will create in the work. We ask for your support and interest."
Meanwhile, Genie TV's original drama 'Scarecrow' will be released on Genie TV and channel ENA in the first half of 2026.
