Season 1 of “Gyeongseong Creature” was praised for perfectly depicting Gyeongseong in the 1940s. Set in Seoul in 2024, 79 years later, Season 2 of “Gyeongseong Creature” tried to capture the continuity of the times by transforming the structure and atmosphere of the building that remained in the modern structure.
Regarding “Bugang Corporation,” which reminds people of “Geumokdang,” director Chung Dong-yoon said, “The exterior is similar, but I think the interior has been remodeled and we made an office. I hope it contains the changes of time,” and he planted comparison elements that viewers can find throughout the work.
In addition, regarding Jeon Seung Pharmaceutical’s underground laboratory, he said, “The prototype was childish and we tried to give the impression of a state-of-the-art facility by depicting the change in time with iron doors, lights, nitrogen gas-producing controls, tempered glass, etc.”
The production design, which realistically reflects the modern era as well as the traces of time laid over the past, will double the audience’s immersion in the drama.
The upgraded action scenes of “Gyeongseong Creature” is also a point to pay attention to. The drama will give viewers pleasure with a sleeker, stronger, more striking action.
In addition, the actions of “Jang Ho-jae” (Park Seo-joon) and “Yoon Chae-ok” (Han So-hee) vs “Seung-jo” (Bae Hyun-sung)’s “creature” action using tentacles add to the fun of the drama.
On top of that, Kuroko, an elite agent who acted carefully and secretly under Maeda’s orders last season, returns with a stronger presence.
Director Chung Dong-yoon said of Kuroko, “Kuroko had a strong image of being a shadow as a being who wore black clothes and moved props and art equipment in traditional Japanese plays,” and he agonized and focused on creating their own unique action.
