Han So-Hee, who began her career as a supporting actress in several K-dramas like Money Flower, 100 Days My Prince, and Abyss, transitioned into a lead actress with her hard work and dedication within a few years. She showcased her talent and grabbed lead roles in various dramas ranging from rom-com to action to fantasy thrillers. However, her life soon got embroiled in controversy when she confirmed her relationship with Ryu Jun-Yeol.

People started to point out that it was some sort of a rebound relationship, and the actress got entangled in the center of the controversy because of her indirect comments toward Hyeri, Ryu Jun-Yeol’s ex-girlfriend. Soon after that, reports claimed that they parted ways. Now, in a recent post, Gyeongseong Creature actress shared a life update about her and apologized for not being able to communicate with her fans.

When it comes to period dramas, there is a lot of focus on similar storylines. Shows cover the Tudor period, and they may look at the Wars of the Roses time period or the American Revolution. Shogun on FX offered something different, going deeper into the past and in a country that is often not explored.

There are many other epic period dramas that are like this. They remove the layer of romanticism for the period, showing how awful people could be, especially when they didn’t understand different languages and cultures. You need more just like this, and we have you covered with these five amazing shows.

And no, Game of Thrones isn’t on the list. Sure, it’s epic and it has some brutality within it, but there are other amazing shows to watch as well. With a season 2 in the works, we need something to fill our time.

BTS’ Jungkook has set a new record with his smash-hit solo debut song, Seven. Released back in July 2023, the song has now earned a Brit gold certification in the UK.

Wi Ha-jun has had a journey through memorable supporting roles in Gyeongseong Creature and Little Women before landing his breakout role in Squid Game. In this hit series, he plays Jun-ho, the younger brother of In-ho, also known as the Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung-hun.

In Season 2, we see Jun-ho recovering in the hospital after surviving a gunshot wound and a fall from a cliff in the first season. He soon crosses paths with Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, the game’s previous winner. This meeting sets Jun-ho on a new mission to uncover the location of another deadly game.

Wi discussed his experience playing Jun-ho across the two seasons with Deadline. He expressed how portraying a character over multiple seasons helped him grow as an actor. ‘It was my first time playing the same character for so long, and it taught me to love and deeply understand him,...

Wi Ha-jun has played several memorable supporting roles in Gyeongseong Creature and Little Women, before landing one of his biggest roles yet in the history-making Squid Game series as Jun-ho, the younger brother of In-ho/Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun).

In the second season, Jun-ho wakes up in hospital, after being shot by his brother and falling off a cliff in Season 1. He crosses paths again with game-winner Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) and Jun-ho embarks on a quest to find the island where another instalment of the violent, winner-takes-all game is taking place.

Prepare for intense action, gripping drama, and plenty of undead thrills because Netflix will be releasing a fan-favorite Korean zombie series on its platform tomorrow! Can you guess what show we're talking about?

No, it's not All of Us Are Dead. However, that's another great Korean zombie series. A second season of this show has been in the works at Netflix for a while now, but it's unknown when it will come out.

The zombie show that we'll be talking about in this article is Happiness. Unlike All of Us Are Dead, which is a Netflix original, Happiness is a show in which Netflix acquired the streaming rights. This means it won't stay on the streaming platform forever. So, it's imperative that you get to watching it as soon as possible.

There are plenty of great horror and thriller K-dramas, yet some of them managed to add humor and even romance into their story regardless of how dark they were. The best K-dramas are known for their intense plots, somewhat awkward humor, and quirky plot lines. However, many K-dramas are equally entertaining as they are complex and full of depth.

Recent K-dramas with darker themes have performed well in South Korea as well as across the world thanks to streaming. The biggest example is Squid Game, which became Netflix's most-watched show of all time and has yet to be topped. Other recent examples include Sweet Home and Gyeongseong Creature. However, whereas there weren't many laughs in Squid Game season 1, other dark K-dramas found room for humor.

He has also been in movies such as Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum and Midnight, both of which are in the horror genre.

Since 2017, South Korean actress Han So-hee has appeared in a number of K-dramas, and each of her roles has been uniquely different, leading to some characters being way more interesting than others. Han first entered the K-drama scene in 2017 when she took on a minor role in the series, Reunited Worlds. From there, she quickly collected even more roles until she became a notable leading lady. Most recently, Han has become known for K-dramas like Gyeongseong Creature, Nevertheless, and My Name. Han is a talented actress with plenty to offer, but her characters aren't always the best.

Of the nine K-drama roles Han has originated, there are some truly amazing characters, and some more forgettable ones. Han's best characters are those with interesting storylines and plenty to do on-screen. Meanwhile, her worst characters are those who don't bring much to the plot, and worse, seem more like devices to keep...

South Korean actor Wi Ha-joon stunned audiences with Squid Game, but his career includes a lot of other great shows from before and after the Netflix K-drama phenomenon. Wi Ha-joon has solidified himself as one of the most promising actors of his generation, going from supporting roles in lesser-known shows to key characters in some of the best K-dramas of recent years.

In the psychological thriller Midnight, he played a deadly serial killer hunting down his next victim and gave a chilling and eerie performance.

Meanwhile, in the found footage horror film Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, Wi Ha-joon went from the hunter to the hunted as he explored a terrifying and haunted hospital. Still, some of his best work comes from TV shows, from traditional...

The cast of Fight For My Way has been in some of the best, most popular K-dramas of 2024, and that is a perfect reminder to revisit the 2017 show. Starring Park Seo-joon, Kim Ji-won, Ahn Jae-hong, and Song Ha-yoon, Fight For My Way tells the story of four young adults trying to navigate life and love. Despite its simple premise, Fight For My Way became a fan favorite and is often listed as one of the best slice-of-life K-dramas. Not only did it have a fun story, but it also featured a promising cast of up-and-coming stars.

The fact that Fight For My Way continues to be included in the best K-dramas of all time lists seven years after its premiere speaks to how well-received the 2017 series was. While it had two love stories, one of which was a classic friends-to-lovers arc, Fight For My Way was much more than just a romance K-drama.

Quick Links What Is the Gyeongseong Creature Drama About? The Drama Is Partly Based on a True Story Gyeongseong Creature Is a Fictionalized Version of History

Gyeongseong Creature is one of South Korea's finest action thrillers, living up to the high standards that K-dramas often set. Starring Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee, the drama has thus far released two thrilling seasons, the first in 2023 (set in the 1940s) and the second in the fall of 2024 (set in present-day Korea).

While the drama is packed with fictional elements like monsters and zombies, there are instances when it feels like it is based on true historical occurrences. While Season 2 is more reminiscent of Parasyte: The Grey, the first season mirrors many incidents from World War II. This brings us to the main question: Is Gyeongseong Creature based on a true story?

What Is the Gyeongseong Creature Drama About?

Gyeongseong Creature...

As inch toward the end of 2024, Netflix fans are starting to worry. Will your favorite show be renewed or canceled? Will that show you just started binge-watching not return for another season? How many established shows will have their final seasons this year or even next year? There's already a fair bit we know about the Netflix shows that have been renewed so far in 2024.

On Jan. 7, Netflix wasted no time to announce the first renewal of the year. The Korean horror-drama series Gyeongseong Creature landed a second season renewal just a few weeks after its initial premiere on Netflix in December 2023. Now fans don't have to worry about the suspenseful series never coming back with more episodes. What a great start to the year!

Similar to several Netflix shows, including many K-Drams, Gyeongseong Creature was released in two parts. The first part consisted of seven episodes, whereas part 2 had three episodes. Gyeongseong Creature Part 1 sees Chae-ok and all of the survivors escaping from the Ongseong Hospital and returning to the city. However, Tae-sang stays behind, and while he is not dead, he might be in a lot of trouble.

Gyeongseong Creature Part 1s ending also saw the Japanese police looking for the people who escaped the hospital, with the oppression against the locals increasing.

The Kristen Bell and Adam Brody romantic comedy surpassed the viewership for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” in its second week of eligibility.

Overall, the series secured 15.9 million views compared to the 13.1 million views “Monsters” saw during the week of Sept. 30 to Oct. 6. This isn’t the first time these two shows have shared the first and second spots. Last week, their ranking was reversed with Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monsters” scoring 19.5 million views in its second week on the streamer and “Nobody Wants This” seeing 10.3 million views in its first week.

Throughout his career, Park Seo-joon has portrayed many iconic K-drama characters. From narcissistic CEOs to underdog athletes, Park Seo-joon has proven that he is a captivating male lead who knows just how to add an extra spark to some of the best K-dramas of all time. As such, he has won multiple awards for his character work throughout the years. However, although many characters in the actor's career are worth revisiting, some stand out more than others.

Park Seo-joon made his on-screen debut in 2011 and landed his first leading role in the romantic K-drama, A Witch's Romance. Since then, Park Seo-joon's career has only continued to grow. He recently starred in the Hollywood movie The Marvels before returning to the small screen as the lead in the hit Netflix series, Gyeongseong Creature. There is no telling what roles the actor may take on next, but before looking forward, here is...

Warning! Contains Mild Spoilers For Gyeongseong Creature Season 2!Gyeongseong Creature season 1s finale has multiple cliffhangers, including a post-credits scene that changes everything about the stories of Chae-ok and Tae-sang. The newest Netflix Korean drama was split into two parts, with the first ending after Chae-ok and most of the hospital prisoners escaped. Gyeongseong Creature Part 2 picked up right from where episode 7 left off, and it ended with the Ongseong Hospital's destruction ahead of the end of the Japanese colonial rule over Korea in August 1945.

Gyeongseong Creature Part 2 confirmed that Lady Maeda was behind it all. Not only did she provide the Ongseong Hospital and the military with the funds they needed to conduct the experiments, but she also picked test subjects for them. Lady Maeda got Myeong-ja sent to the hospital, just like she arranged for Chae-oks mother to be captured and turned into a test subject years ago.

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Gyeongseong Creature season 2.Gyeongseong Creature 2 answered a lot of pressing questions that were left unresolved in season 1, but the Netflix K-drama's second season brings forward even more mysteries that are in dire need of resolution. Starring Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon, Gyeongseong Creature is a K-drama about the Japanese occupation of Korea that delves into a story full of human-made horrors. Though the first season took place in 1945, season 2's strange time jump makes way for a host of unresolved mysteries.

Gyeongseong Creature 2's final episode left a lot of loose ends, suggesting that the Netflix K-drama's story is far from over. While a third season of Gyeongseong Creature has yet to be announced, the sheer number of mysteries waiting to be solved seems positive for fans looking for more from its intriguingly human story. These loose threads could see Gyeongseong Creature...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Gyeongseong Creature season 2.Gyeongseong Creature's second season has just landed on Netflix, but the intriguing post-credits scene at the end of episode 7 suggests that there might be more to come from the hit K-drama. Gyeongseong Creature season 2 sees the series move away from its historical setting of 1940s Korea and place its characters in the present day, with the najin threat still looming, however. While the new season answered many of Gyeongseong Creature's unanswered questions, there are many more mysteries that need to be solved following its open-ended conclusion.

Gyeongseong Creature's third season has yet to be confirmed, but it is clear that there is much more to the Netflix K-drama's dramatic tale of humans and monsters. If it were to get a third season, it would follow in the footsteps of other Netflix original K-dramas like Squid Game and Sweet Home, whose...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Gyeongseong Creature season 2.

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 finally answered the question of who Jang Ho-jae is and what Park Seo-joon's role is in the second chapter of the Netflix series. Initially, Park Seo-joon played Jang Tae-sang, owner of The House of Golden Treasure who had a close-knit network that allowed him to get anything he desired. Tae-sang played a vital role in the liberation and destruction of Ongseong Hospital in 1945 Gyeongseong (Seoul), but Gyeongseong Creature's strange time shift left viewers confused as to who Park Seo-joon's character is in the Netflix K-drama's latest season.

In Gyeongseong Creature's season 1 ending, Park Seo-joon was revealed to be playing the role of Jang Ho-jae in the show's next installment. While this move made sense for the surprise time jump, the return of the likes of Han So-hee, who would continue to play her character Yoon Chae-ok,...

The second season of Gyeongseong Creature features a number of antagonists, all of whom are Najin-injected superpowered, ageless beings and have ties to Jeonseung Biotech. Lady Maede returns as the sadistic, psychotic big bad, while Seung-Jo leaves a mark with his unpredictable, menacing demeanor. While their motives behind Najin experimentation are much grander in scope and rooted in the intention of establishing their dominance over humanity, Captain Kuroko, chief of Maede’s enforcers, is involved in this gig for reasons personal to him. His allegiance to Maede is purely transactional in nature; as the season moves forward, his motivation is revealed, and in the end, due to a clash of interests, he ends up betraying Maede, which results in her death at the hands of Seung-Jo.

The second season of Gyeongseong Creature might have diluted the interesting premise of the period piece monster fiction of the first season into a generic sci-fi storyline; it has also spread out a number of plot threads, some of which remain unresolved after the end of the season. The story arcs of new characters introduced in this season, especially Seung-Jo, hint at a continuation that will, following the tradition of the series, be quite different compared to the previous installments. Aside from that, a crucial plot point from the first season could find its way to shape up the future of the series, that too with the help of Seung-Jo’s machinations, as is foreshadowed through the narrative.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Gyeongseong Creature season 2.Claudia Kim's Lady Maeda was a crucial antagonist in Gyeongseong Creature's first season, and the actress' surprise turn in the newly released second season is one of the biggest twists of the thriller series. Starring Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon, Gyeongseong Creature is a K-drama set during the Japanese occupation of Korea, putting a sci-fi twist on real-life historical events that happened in Gyeongseong (Seoul). However, the Netflix K-drama's second season removes itself from its pivotal historical setting and thrusts its characters into the modern world, leaving many unanswered questions about how they got there.

In Gyeongseong Creature season 2, Yoon Chae-ok (Han So-hee) finds herself living in the present day, once again working as a sleuth. Her work soon sees her cross paths with Jang Ho-tae (Park Seo-joon), who bears a striking resemblance to Jang Tae-sang (Park Seo-joon). The continual crossing of...

And just when I thought that Gyeongseong Creature had finally ended, the second season dropped another end credits scene, therefore suggesting the possibility of a third season. However, before I jump into my nerdy theories, a small disclaimer for the fans: there hasn’t been an official confirmation yet, and the high tables at Netflix have yet to green-light the renewal of the show. [Spoiler Alert] Coming back to the narrative, the mid-credits scene revealed that Akiko’s son, Seung-jo, has taken over Jeonseong Biotech, founded by none other than Shin Ji-oh, the descendant of Dr. Ichiro, the man responsible for all the inhumane experimentation in Onseong Hospital in 1945. The show had previously established the fact that Lady Maeda had some sinister goal in mind, which she believed would trigger a major leap forward in human evolution. On her orders, Captain Kuroko and Ji-oh had been preparing a vast reserve of the Najin Parasite,...

The real-world historical backdrop of the first season of Korean monster thriller, Gyeongseong Creature, had allowed the series to work around serious themes and act as commentary on the country’s sordid past. However, the recently released second season does a complete overhaul of the narrative by stripping away the historical context entirely and turning the narrative into just another mediocre creature thriller, serving as a massive downgrade overall. While the romance plot between the leads stays strong in the latest chapter of Gyeongseong Creature and is somewhat entertaining—depending on how much you liked it in the first season—the rest of the storyline is a rehashed version of the subpar young adult urban supernatural thriller narratives we’ve seen before. With the majority of the characters who added to the series’ intrigue and emotional connection missing in this iteration, the second season of Gyeongseong Creature is a major...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Gyeongseong Creature season 2.The highly anticipated second season of Gyeongseong Creature sees the K-drama end on a surprisingly similar note to its first season. Starring big K-drama names Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon, Gyeongseong Creature 2 takes its central characters out of the initial setting of Japanese-occupied Gyeongseong (Seoul) and throws them into the present day. The first season presented many questions Gyeongseong Creature 2 needed to answer, and the Netflix K-drama does so with a high-tension finale.

In season 2, episode 7 the bad blood between Gyeongseong Creature's main characters comes to a head. Lady Maeda's wishes for revenge separate the recently reunited Yoon Chae-ok and Jang Tae-sang, who find themselves back in the remnants of Onseong Hospital, now the site of Jeonseung Biotech. An ultimatum sees Jang Tae-sang choose three innocents over Yoon Chae-ok, leaving his partner's life in balance. Though Gyeongseong Creature's ending may not be the most satisfying,...

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 was a mediocre continuation of the exciting story of a bioweapon in Japanese-occupied Korea. The new season set in the modern day plays a bit of hopscotch with its plot and ends quite randomly. Sure, there’s the great downfall of Maeda, but it doesn’t deliver the impactful blow that it’s supposed to; her character simply fizzles out without any kind of arc, which is a bit lame for such an important villain. There are a lot of questions left unanswered at the end of the second season, and obviously good hasn’t prevailed, but hey, we got the message, love conquers all, yeah? In season 2, we get introduced to Akiko’s son, Seung-Jo, who has been raised as Maeda’s son because the Najin from Akiko was inherited by Seung-Jo when she died. We already knew he’d have powers, as implied at the end of the first season,...

Park Seo-jun and Han So-hee return to lead the cast of Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 on Netflix.

Season 1 of the sci-fi Korean series revolves around a dangerous parasitic organism called "Najin" which causes its host to mutate and turn into a terrifying monster. 

Gyeongseong Creature's debut season is set in 1945, focusing on Chae-ok's search for her missing mother whom she later discovers as the Najin's main host.

Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon lead the cast of Gyeongseong Creature, a Netflix horror K-drama that starts as a period piece and moves into the present day during season 2. In addition to all the licensed K-dramas available on Netflix, the streamer is also known for original Korean productions. Gyeongseong Creature is one of many successful Netflix K-drama webseries, and while the first season received mixed reviews, the show was renewed for season 2.

Gyeongseong Creature season 1 takes place in 1945 in the final days of World War II. It combines real historical elements with science fiction aspects in a horror story set in Gyeongseong. The first season of the K-drama starring Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee sees Tae-sang and Chae-ok teaming up to investigate the Ongseong Hospital, which a lot of patients dont return. Gyeongseong Creature season 2 takes place in 2024 and sees Chae-ok, whos still alive, meeting a man who looks just like Jang Tae-sang.

The South Korean thriller drama series Gyeongseong Creature has returned with its 2nd season, building on the foundation of romance and supernatural thriller established in season 1. While the series was earlier historical fiction as well, as it was set in Seoul, or Gyeongseong, in 1945, during the Japanese occupation of Korea, this new season gets rid of all historical background. Instead, Gyeongseong Creature season 2 takes place entirely in modern-day Seoul, although the characters and the evils have survived due to some miraculous events. The plot follows a private detective known as Silverbill, who suddenly comes across an old lover while investigating the disappearance of a man, and her adventures after getting embroiled in a decades-old fight. Overall, Gyeongseong Creature season 2 holds on to its predecessor’s characteristic of being too over-the-top and overdramatic and should be watched mostly by fans of the first season.

What Happens In Season 2?

Gyeongseong Creature...

When the subject revolves around the horrors of colonialism, discussion meanders mostly around European countries, and only seldom includes Japan’s treatment of their neighboring colonies, despite the sins of their imperial army being just as vicious and barbaric, if not more, than their European counterparts. The depths of the inhumanity of Japan’s imperial colonial era are captured in the first season of Gyeongseong Creature, a solid entry in Netflix’s K-drama library—a series that utilizes monster fiction to highlight the demons of Korea’s past, which continue to haunt the nation till date. To put it into perspective, Godzilla was Japan’s answer to the nuclear holocaust inflicted upon them by the United States, and Gyeongseong Creature questions Japan’s accountability regarding their dreaded past.

Like a majority of Korean dramas, Gyeongseong Creature doesn’t lack heart and humor as well, despite handling such heavy subject matter,...

If you know me (I’ll admit most of you don’t), you know that I love every kind of K-drama under the sun, and I will root for anything Han So-Hee is in. But honestly, I’m just a bit tired of K-dramas trying to take the multi-season route instead of sticking to what they do best, making 16 consecutive full-length features. With that out of the way, I didn’t particularly enjoy the first season of Gyeongseong Creature either. Sure, there was chemistry, there was a decent enough plot, but it didn’t feel fresh or as fantastical as it was made out to be. Plus, the creatures just don’t work, in my opinion. However, I didn’t find myself bored in the middle of watching it. I was looking forward to what was coming next; it was only in retrospect that I noticed that I had some icks about the show,...

Gyeongseong Creature season 2’s ending reveals a shocking twist for fans of the popular K-drama. [Spoiler Alert] There’s going to be another season, and there’s an after-credit scene. But I think what the makers of the show have done is simply push all the actual details of this season right to the end so that we have to sit through a whole season of boring “what’s it going to be” plot twists right until the end. In this season of Gyeongseong Creature, we’ve moved on to the modern world, and Jang Ho-Jae spends half the season not knowing who he really is. It’s when he accidentally meets Yoon Chae-Ok, the love of his life, that he starts to realize there’s something off about him. It seems the man was in an accident a year earlier, and so he’s lost all of his memories; whatever he...

Gyeongseong Creature season 2 brings back Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon in a story about legacy and karma, this time in 2024 instead of the late 20th century. One of many Netflix original K-dramas, Gyeongseong Creature premiered on December 22, 2023, with seven episodes. The final three episodes of the first season were released two weeks later on January 5, 2024. Shortly after the conclusion of season 1, Gyeongseong Creature was officially renewed for season 2. Given how season 1 ended, the announcement of a second chapter was hardly a surprise. Gyeongseong Creature 2 premiers Friday, September 27 on Netflix.

The horror K-Drama tells the story of Jang Tae-sang, whose life takes a turn after an investigation of a missing person leads him to Chae-ok, a detective who is also looking for someone who went missing. Together, Tae-sang and Chae-ok had to face the demons of their past, sometimes quite literally. Gyeongseong Creature season 1s ending was mostly self-contained and saw...

The recent news surrounding Han So Hee’s mother, Ms. Shin, has brought attention to the actress’s difficult family history. On September 2, 2024, South Korean media outlet TV Chosun reported that Ms. Shin, identified as the mother of My Name actress Han So Hee, was arrested for operating illegal gambling dens across several South Korean cities, including Ulsan and Wonju. This marks her second arrest, with allegations that she has been involved in running 12 illegal gambling establishments since 2021, using “proxy owners” to manage these operations.
