'The Mantis: Original Sin' stars Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon are ready to captivate viewers' hearts.
The new SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Mantis: Original Sin' (directed by Byun Young-joo, written by Lee Young-jong), which will premiere on September 5 at 9:50 p.m., is a high-density crime thriller that takes place over 20 years after the capture of the brutal serial killer 'The Mantis,' leading to a copycat crime. To solve this case, a detective, who has hated 'The Mantis' his whole life, unexpectedly teams up with his mother, who is 'The Mantis.' The series is generating strong interest and anticipation, marking the return of SBS's trust-worthy genre programming.
Amid this, the third teaser video for 'The Mantis: Original Sin' was released on August 25. The shocking acting transformation of Ko Hyun-jung (as Jeong Yi-shin) as a serial killer and Jang Dong-yoon (as Cha Soo-yeol), equipped with intense charisma, impressively showcases the relationship and primary storyline of the two main characters, 'the son who teams up with his serial killer mother to prevent another murder,' raising curiosity and expectations among prospective viewers.
The third teaser for 'The Mantis: Original Sin' starts with a haunting image of Ko Hyun-jung. Amid hints of the infamous murder case she committed 20 years ago, a terrifying voice shivers out, saying, 'You killed that beast's Abby, the Mantis.' Soon after, a murder scene seems to occur, and police officers, including Jang Dong-yoon, Jo Seong-ha (as Choi Joong-ho), and Lee El (as Kim Na-hee), are intensely engaged in the investigation. At this time, a copy reading 'Copycat crimes praising The Mantis' appears, instantly heightening the tension.
Continuing on, the serial killer mother played by Ko Hyun-jung reappears. In stark contrast to her youthful appearance in the first shot, she has become haggard and gaunt, inspecting the crime scene with a grotesque expression while saying, 'You followed me exactly, didn't you?' Eventually, she chillingly warns, 'Don't think you can catch me without shedding a drop of blood.'
Ko Hyun-jung's brutality draws attention as Jang Dong-yoon's expression and gaze are endlessly shaken. On the other hand, Ko Hyun-jung steadily asserts, 'You have to think like me, Jeong-ho.' Jang Dong-yoon's character's name is Cha Soo-yeol. Who exactly is Jeong-ho? Could he perhaps be the true perpetrator of the copycat crime praising The Mantis, or is he someone else?
Ultimately, the serial killer mother Ko Hyun-jung and her detective son Jang Dong-yoon stand face to face. Jang Dong-yoon asks, 'What should we do? Should we kill her?' What is the meaning of this question? What is the true intention of the detective son Jang Dong-yoon, who must join hands with his lifelong hated serial killer mother Ko Hyun-jung to prevent another murder?
Despite being a relatively short video of about 35 seconds, the third teaser for 'The Mantis: Original Sin' leaves numerous questions, significantly stimulating the curiosity and interest of prospective viewers. The powerful presence of actors Ko Hyun-jung, Jang Dong-yoon, Jo Seong-ha, Lee El, and Kim Bo-ra (as Lee Jeong-yeon) promises intense immersion.
