The Mantis: Original Sin starring Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon's moving poster has been released.
SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "The Mantis: Original Sin" (directed by Byun Young-joo, written by Lee Young-jong, planned by Studio S, produced by Merry Christmas, Megamonster, and Film Production Boim) will premiere on Friday, September 5th, at 9:50 p.m. The high-density crime thriller "The Mantis: Original Sin," featuring the collaboration of director Byun Young-joo from "Hwa-cha" and writer Lee Young-jong from "Seoul's Spring," is set to deliver a well-made genre piece that will captivate home audiences.
"The Mantis: Original Sin" is generating anticipation with the meeting of Ko Hyun-jung (as Jeong Yi-shin) and Jang Dong-yoon (as Cha Su-yeol). The two actors, portraying a serial killer mother and a detective son, are expected to showcase a remarkable acting synergy beyond perfection.
Meanwhile, on September 2nd, the moving poster of the two main characters, Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon, from "The Mantis: Original Sin" was unveiled. The impactful display captures the two actors' stunning transformations and overwhelming presence that cannot be replicated.
In the moving poster, Ko Hyun-jung first appears with a pure back view and slowly turns her head to face the camera. However, the moment she makes eye contact, her innocence vanishes instantly. Her hollow gaze is somehow chilling, and her expressionlessness evokes goosebumps. At this moment, Ko Hyun-jung's narration can be heard: "The smell of blood? I like it. It's the smell that came out when you were born into this world." The sound of Ko Hyun-jung's voice, harshly uttering ruthless words with intense emotion, raises expectations for the serial killer character "The Mantis" she will depict.
Next, in the moving poster, Jang Dong-yoon also initially appears from behind. Like Ko Hyun-jung, Jang Dong-yoon slowly turns his head while pulling handcuffs from his pocket, showcasing his character as the detective Cha Su-yeol. Notably, Jang Dong-yoon's cold yet blazing intense gaze is striking. At this moment, Jang Dong-yoon's narration resonates: "That woman is not helping us. She's using us. Jeong Yi-shin is the one who told Seo Gwan to kill someone." You can fully feel Cha Su-yeol's desperate anger towards his mother, who becomes "The Mantis" in the collaborative investigation.
"The Mantis: Original Sin" continues to unveil powerful content as the premiere approaches. The actors' transformations and passionate performances are beyond imagination, and the gradually revealed storyline and clues are meticulous and strong. As "The Mantis: Original Sin" significantly raises the expectations of prospective viewers, it makes one curious and eager about what shocking stories it will bring to home audiences in the actual drama.
