Kim Tae-ri and Oh Jung-se pursue a demon in Revenant

Suspenseful, creepy, and penned by Kim Eun-hee — this drama is right up my alley. SBS’s upcoming occult thriller Revenant is amping up the chills with another teaser, featuring the demon-possessed Kim Tae-ri (Twenty Five Twenty One) and the demon hunter Oh Jung-se (Little Women).

The teaser opens with the literature professor Yeom Hae-sang (Oh Jung-se) coming face-to-face with the possessed Gu San-young (Kim Tae-ri) atop a bridge. Owing to his ability to see demons, Hae-sang immediately recognizes the malevolent entity haunting San-young — it’s the same one that took his mother’s life when he was a child.

The realization that something’s not quite right is also beginning to dawn on San-young; plagued by odd visions and inexplicable sounds, San-young’s afraid that she might end up committing monstrous deeds. In a creepy scene, we see San-young asleep at her desk, while her reflection in the mirror slowly rises to her feet.

As strange occurrences crop up in San-young’s vicinity and investigations commence, one peculiar clue surfaces — all the victims have a red bruise on their wrists, as if someone had gripped them tightly. Terrified, San-young confesses that she doesn’t feel like herself.

And so, the pursuit of the elusive demon begins. Not only is Hae-sang anxious to banish the monster he’s been tracking down for years, but lieutenant Lee Hong-sae — played by Hong Kyung (Weak Hero Class 1) — is also hot on its heels. As for San-young, she can’t stand the thought of any more blood on her hands. “It’s starting again,” she gasps, voice quivering, “yet another person will die.”

With special appearances by Jin Seon-gyu (Behind Every Star) and Pyo Ye-jin (Taxi Driver 2), alongside veterans like Yeh Soo-jung (Wild Boar Hunting) and Kim Hae-sook (Divorce Attorney Shin) in the supporting cast, my anticipation for this drama is certainly sky-high.

Written by Kim Eun-hee (Kingdom, Signal) and directed by Lee Jung-rim (V.I.P), Revenant is slated for a June 23 premiere.
