As we countdown the days until next week’s premiere, Disney+ has us questioning the issue of trust in the newest character posters for The Worst of Evil, showcasing our conflicted trio: Ji Chang-wook (If You Wish Upon Me), Wie Ha-joon (Little Women), and Im Se-mi (Duty After School). Come September 27, we’ll be thrown into the dark underbelly of 1990s Gangnam with writing by Jang Min-seok (Secret Reunion) and co-directing by filmmaker Han Dong-wook (Man in Love) and PD Park Geun-beom.
