<p>&quot;It’s a complex genre project.&quot;</p><p>These were the words of Korean actor Park Seo-joon when he described his upcoming Netflix series <em>Gyeongseong Creature.</em></p><p>According to a report by <em>The Korea Herald</em>, Seo-joon highlighted that the show will showcase a mix of genres.</p><p>&quot;I had an expectation coming from the title itself. It is a combination of a period drama and a creature genre, but at the same time, it doesn&#x27;t miss out on the intimate story of a young man and a woman,&quot; he said.</p><p>In the series, Seo-joon plays the role of Tae-sang who holds the position of marketplace leader at Golden Jade House, making him the most affluent and influential individual in Gyeongseong. Known for prioritizing wealth over justice, his perspective undergoes a transformation when he encounters Chae-ok (Han So-hee), leading to a significant shift in his priorities.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-13" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1BhWtVr3Vc/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A13%2C%22os%22%3A22556180.1%2C%22ls%22%3A1861474.5%2C%22le%22%3A1862137%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-13" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Seo-joon remarked that saying yes to the project was an easy decision for him considering that he will be working with a great director and cast.</p><p>&quot;When I was in<em> Itaewon Class</em>, director Jung’s (Dong-yoon) work was also airing, <em>Hot Stove League</em>, so I wanted to meet with him. And we have So-hee playing Chae-ok in the show so it’s just a no-brainer for me because it’s just going to be really fun,&quot; the actor said as reported by ABS-CBN News.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/11/14/netflix-announces-release-date-of-park-seo-joon-and-han-so-hee-s-gyeongseong-creature-2059"><strong><u>READ: Netflix announces release date of Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee’s ‘Gyeongseong Creature’</u></strong></a></div><p>According to Netflix, <em>Gyeongseong Creature</em>&#x27;s story takes place in 1945 when Korea was under Japanese colonial rule and &quot;centers around two young adults who encounter strange creatures born from greed, and then must battle for survival in the city of Gyeongseong — now known as Seoul. But it turns out, there may be something even more dangerous out there than the creatures themselves.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-14" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0ynC47OLdT/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A14%2C%22os%22%3A22556861.9%2C%22ls%22%3A1861474.5%2C%22le%22%3A1862137%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="510" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-14" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Seo-joon will star in the series alongside Han So-hee.</p><p>&quot;I [also] thought a creature genre will be of immense help for me as an actress going forward,&quot; the actress shared on what made her say yes to the project.</p><p>The first seven episodes of<em> Gyeongseong Creature</em> are set to premiere on Netflix on December 22, with the remaining three parts slated for release on January 5, 2024.</p><div><br/></div>
