Famous South Korean actors Lee Joon and Lee Jin Wook are currently in talks to work together on a brand new tvN project!
A Korean media outlet reported on Feb. 3 that Lee Joon was offered to star in tvN's upcoming drama "Bulgasal." This particular drama is the same project that actor Lee Jin Wook has been considering since last year.
The fantasy-themed drama will be helmed by Director Jang Young Woo, who previously worked with tvN's 2016 drama "Entourage."
The new TV series will center its story on two characters: a woman who was reincarnated several times over the course of 600 years and she is able to remember details of her past lives, and a man who lived as what they call a "bulgasal" (immortal) named Dan Hwal. He is a mythical creature that drinks human blood and is cursed with a never-ending life for over 600 years.
Dan Hwal was once a normal human being but is on the edge of losing the last remnants of humanity after being an immortal for a long time. The only thing that gives him the strength to go on is his desire for revenge on the woman that cursed and turned him into the monster that he has become.
