Netflix has revealed its ultra-luxury casting lineup, including Son Seok-gu, Eita Nagama, Kim Shin-rok, Choi Sung-eun, and Jung Jae-young, along with the news of confirming the production of the new series 'Road'.
'Road' is a crime thriller about a bizarre murder that shakes Korea and Japan. A Korean phrase written with blood next to a dead body found twisted in Tokyo, followed by the same incident left in Japanese in Korea, and the two countries launch a joint investigation to find out the true nature of the serial murder.
The director was directed by Han Jun-hee, who built an original world view through 'D.P.' and 'Chinatown'. The original is a cartoon 'Blue Road', which has drawn attention for its unique material and meticulous development, and is newly adapted with writer Cho Yu-jin of the movie 'pilot' to capture a different charm from the original. Director Han explained the planning intention of the work, saying, `Transnational criminal objects in which the two detectives risk everything to catch the criminal and fight fiercely.'
Major casts also raise expectations. Son Seok-gu will appear as a Korean detective, and Eita will appear as a Japanese detective and stage a fierce acting battle. Kim Shin-rok joins as a Korean-Japanese businessman and Choi Sung-eun as a government agent related to the core of the case to investigate the case from a different perspective with the two detectives. Jung Jae-young will appear as an unidentified mystery character, raising the tension of the play to its peak.
