If you’re scared, close your eyes Two Years Spent for Korean Occult
Kim Eun-hee, a writer of SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama “The Devil” (written by Kim Eun-hee and directed by Lee Jung-rim), told various stories ahead of the first broadcast.
Writer Kim Eun-hee has become a “master of genre” by proving her work and box office power at the same time in every work she writes, such as “Sign,” “Ghost,” “Signal,” and “Kingdom.” Above all, through the “Kingdom” series, it created a Korean-style zombie syndrome around the world, creating a Joseon version of zombies that is different from Western sentiment in the West.
This time, he returned with a Korean-style occult mystery genre that incorporates folklore. Ahead of the first broadcast of “The Devil” on the 23rd, he has delivered everything about “The Devil” in person, along with the time of passion he has devoted to his work over the past two years. ▲ Hereinafter, Kim Eun-hee’s “The Evil Ghost” is a question and answer.
Q: What kind of drama is “The Devil”?
In other words, the poor young San-young, who is worn by evil spirits, finds the folklorist Hae-sang, who knows how to see evil spirits, and who the evil spirits are.
– It is attracting attention as a Korean occult mystery. Why did you choose this genre?
Is it because of the influence of the legendary hometown that I saw when I was young. I was very scared and liked horror movies, so I thought it would be nice to try occulting at least once. Therefore, when writing the ‘Kingdom’ plan, ‘The Devil’ was also planned. While writing the script for “Kingdom,” I think the Korean vibe naturally melted into “The Devil.”
