Shin Hyun Been and Goo Kyo Hwan will go against a mysterious force in the upcoming TVING series “Monstrous”!

“Monstrous” is about the people who are lured in by a curse from “that thing” that shouldn’t have come out into the world and tells the story of archaeologists who chase after monstrous cases that have never been heard of. As a village gets swept up in disaster with the discovery of a mysterious possessed statue of the Buddha, the confusion from the people who face the strange terror and the process of chasing after it will deliver great suspense to viewers.

The drama is penned by director Yeon Sang Ho, who directed “Train to Busan” and “Peninsula” and wrote the OCN drama “The Cursed,” as well as Ryu Yong Jae, who wrote “Pied Piper” and “My Holo Love.” It will be directed by Jang Gun Jae, who won Best Screenplay at the 16th Busan Film Critics Award and Best Director and Best Screenplay at the 3rd Wildflower Film Awards with the film “A Midsummer’’s Fantasia.”

Goo Kyo Hwan plays the eccentric archaeologist Jung Ki Hoon who researches bizarre supernatural phenomena. In the midst of running the occult YouTube channel titled “Monthly Ghost Stories,” he faces a strange and unbelievable phenomenon while investigating the Buddha statue found in Jinyang County.

Shin Hyun Been stars as the genius pattern cryptanalyst Lee Soo Jin who ends up having to face a terrible disaster. After losing her only daughter, Lee Soo Jin puts down everything to return to Jinyang County where she begins to experience inexplicable events.

On March 22, TVING shared a special poster that raises expectations for the birth of a supernatural thriller on a different level. Previous posters depicted Jung Ki Hoon and Lee Soo Jin being drawn to an irresistible and mysterious force. The new poster foreshadows a horrifying catastrophe. Their faces are shadowed with seriousness as they are surrounded by a flock of black birds. The haunting atmosphere creates chilling tension, and the text on the poster reads, “Those who sees its eyes get trapped in hell.”
