OCN has shared its lineup of original 2021 dramas!
Through a video released on February 11, the network provides a preview of what they have in store for this year. The first is “Times,” a time-warp political mystery drama starring Lee Joo Young and Lee Seo Jin. Lee Joo Young plays Seo Jung In, the daughter of South Korean president Seo Gi Tae (Kim Young Chul).
Through a phone call, he mysteriously connects with a journalist named Lee Jin Woo (Lee Seo Jin), who lived five years ago. He asks her for help to prevent her father's death, but she finally finds out a dangerous truth.
The premiere of “Times” on February 20 at 10:30 p.m. KST. You can check out the trailer below!
Next up is “Dark Hole” (literal title), a mystery sci-fi thriller about a group of survivors who must fight for their lives against mutants created when humans inhale mysterious dark smoke from an exhaust hole.
The drama, starring Kim Ok Bin and Lee Joon Hyuk, is part of OCN's “dramatic cinema project”, which aims to bridge the gap between film and TV through various genre productions.
The drama is written by Jung Yi Do, who wrote "Save Me" and "Strangers from Hell." The video features Kim Ok Bin saying sadly, “It's not human. How could this happen?"
“Voice” will also return for a fourth season in 2021. The series started in 2017 and recently aired its third season in 2019.
These events revolve around emergency call centers and employees trying to fight crime using limited information from the urgent calls they receive.
The original cast members including Lee Ha Na are back together with new faces for the fourth season.
In the second half of this year, OCN will broadcast "Hometown" (literal title), which tells the story of a mysterious series of murders in a small town, with a "mystery demon thriller" which begins with a recording playing a strange and unknown voice.
Finally, the video features “Island” (literal title), an exorcism fantasy drama based on the webtoon of the same name.
It tells the story of a man who needs a woman to end his cursed eternal life and a woman who doesn't know about his sad and cruel fate.
The two are joined by an exorcist priest who is consumed by the guilt of not being able to protect one girl. On an island that has evil darkness despite its beauty, the three seemingly incompatible characters gather their strength to protect one another.
Kim Je Hyun, director of CJ ENM's IP (intellectual property) Department, stated, “This year, OCN has prepared a series of dramas with unique stories, characters, and universes, from“ Times ”to“ Dark Hole, ”“ Voice 4, And "Hometown," all based on the network capabilities built over the past 25 years. "
He added, "You will be able to see well-made projects that only OCN can create, which will take genre work to new heights."/koreanindo.net
