Local broadcasters and the movie industry are preparing to help viewers kill the summer heat with horror programs and movies this month. Here is some of what's being offered.
Small Screen
MBC, which has had a successful history of horror dramas, including "M - Drama", starring popular actress
Shim Eun-ha in 1994, hopes to reprise that success with the drama " Possessed".
"'Possessed' ('
HON - Soul') is not based on `Korean Ghost Stories' nor is it a part of the movie series `Whispering Corridors'. We used the film `Let the Right One In', which is about a relationship between a vampire girl and young boy, as a model, and started working from there",
Kim Sang-ho, the producer, said at a press conference held at MBC, Ilsan, Monday.
`'Possessed' ('
HON - Soul')' revolves around a high school student, Ha-na (newcomer Lim Ju-eun), who can see dead people, and a profiler named Shin Ryu, played by
Lee Seo-jin ("
Yi San", 2008). When Shin meets Ha-na and discovers her ability, he uses her to pay back his enemy, only to find himself becoming the devil.
"If the story is too distant, viewers will feel lost, but if it's too much of a cliche, viewers will easily get bored. We wanted to show viewers that in the end, it's people who are scary, not the special effects, the makeup or sounds. In our drama, the ghosts mostly appear during the daytime", he said. Nevertheless, the drama is for viewers 19 years or older.
Lee, who will be appearing in ...
