As the highly anticipated Gyeongseong Creature Season 2, starring Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee, premiered on September 27, viewers are eager to dive back into the haunting world of 1945 Gyeongseong and its echoes in modern-day 2024 Seoul. With themes of human greed, emotional resilience, and the complexities of fate, the new season promises to explore deep connections across time. We had the opportunity to speak with the cast and director about their experiences and the themes that define this gripping narrative.
Park, who plays dual roles as Jang Ho Jae and Jang Tae Sang, shared insights into the unique challenge of embodying two characters that share a striking resemblance but exist in fundamentally different contexts. "Jang Ho Jae is basically Jang Tae Sang without his past memories. As a person who's experiencing everything for the first time, and also someone living in the modern era, so like modern way of speaking, modern way of acting, was really important for Ho Jae," he explained to Bollywood Hungama during a roundtable discussion on Wednesday, September 25.
Park Seo Joon emphasized the importance of portraying Ho Jae as someone rediscovering his identity. "Another key point was the process of him regaining or finding his past memories. So instead of kind of trying to make a distinction between the two, I looked at the whole picture,” he added.
The series dives deeper into the complexities of human desire and the consequences of ambition, with the narrative expanding from the struggles of 1945 Gyeongseong to the mysterious happenings in 2024 Seoul. The trailer hints at bizarre serial killings that seem to echo past traumas, raising the stakes for the characters as they navigate this modern chaos.
Director Chung Dong-yoon expressed his belief in the necessity of a multi-season arc. “During the inception stage of the show, I was talking with writer Kang Eun Kyung, and we thought that two seasons would do this story justice. Multi-season could be good news to a director, but it also could be very challenging, because you have to continue with that story in the second season, and there's always the sophomore slump. You never know if the second season will do better than season one, but I love that there was a time leap to 2024. I thought of season two as a different show. So, we call it seasons one and two, but I approached it as two different narratives,” the director said.
The introduction of new characters like Kuroko Leader and Seung Jo adds more intrigue to the story. Kuroko Leader, portrayed by Lee Mu Saeng, has been conducting questionable experiments at Jeonseung Biotech. Meanwhile, Bae Hyeon Seong’s Seung-jo intensifies the suspense, pursuing Ho-jae and Chae-ok amidst the unfolding mysteries.
The intricate web of relationships and fate ties these characters together, blurring the lines between past and present. As Season 2 unfolds, the characters grapple with their intertwined fates.
Gyeonseong Creature season 2, with seven episodes, is now available on Netflix.
