Then, “Monstrous” is an upcoming drama that will soon be broadcast on TVING. “Monstrous” will tell the story of people who are lured by the curse of an object that is believed to not have appeared in the world, as well as tell the story of archaeologists who are chasing unheard of gruesome cases.
Written by director Yeon Sang Ho, who has had success directing “Train to Busan” and “Peninsula” and writing the OCN drama “The Cursed.” “Monstrous” stars Shin Hyun Been, Goo Kyo Hwan, Kwak Dong Yeon, Nam Da Reum, Kim Ji Young, and Park Ho San, and will premiere April 2022.
A remarkable achievement considering that "Monstrous" had been officially invited to international events prior to its release. Meanwhile 'Work Later, Drink Now,' has become the first OTT series from the country to be invited to the Cannes International Series Festival.
