Disney+ original 'The Murky Stream' has confirmed its release in September and will be invited to the Busan International Film Festival.
On the 11th, the team behind the Disney+ original series 'The Murky Stream' (written by Cheon Seong-il and directed by Chu Chang-min) announced its September release and that it has been officially invited to the 'On Screen' section of the 30th Busan International Film Festival.
'The Murky Stream' is garnering expectations as Disney+'s first original historical drama series. The 'On Screen' section of the Busan International Film Festival encompasses the expanded flow and value of films, featuring the most anticipated drama series of the year. 'The Murky Stream' is set to make its premier screening at this festival, marking its first encounter with audiences, amid keen interest both in Korea and worldwide.
The drama is an action piece that explores the destinies of those who dream of living decently in a chaotic world surrounding Gyeonggang, where all the money and resources of Joseon converge. Directed by Chu Chang-min, who attracted 10 million viewers with 'Masquerade' in 2012, and scripted by Cheon Seong-il, who returns to historical dramas after 14 years since 'Chuno', this work has been highly anticipated even before its release.
In addition, the actor Rowoon, Shin Ye Eun, Park Seo Ham, and Park Ji Hwan fill the story with bold and delicate performances. Rowoon, known for his solid character portrayals in works such as 'The Wedding Battle', 'This Love Is Irresistible', 'Tomorrow', 'Yeonmo', and 'A Day Found by Chance', will play 'Jang Si Yul', who dreams of a world where people can live decently, showcasing a rough and robust appearance never seen before, captivating audiences worldwide.
Shin Ye Eun, who has left a memorable presence in works such as 'The Retirement Age', 'Flower Scholar's Love History', 'The Glory', and 'Third Person Revenge', will portray 'Choi Eun', who aspires to lead the best merchant group in Joseon. She is expected to showcase her unwavering resolve to uphold her beliefs in an absurd era.
Additionally, Park Seo Ham, who gained public affection with his impressive performance in 'Semantic Error', will attempt his first historical drama as 'Jeong Cheon', an official striving to eradicate rampant corruption in the government. He is expected to deliver freshness with a 180-degree transformation in his performance. Moreover, Park Ji Hwan, showcasing versatility across diverse genres including the 'Crime City' series and Disney+'s 'Seoul Busters', will take on the role of 'Mudeok', a thuggish figure maintaining order at Mapo Ferry, capturing attention with a striking presence and an unmissable performance.
