Gyeongseong Creature Cast & Character Guide (2024)

Han So-hee and Park Seo-joon lead the cast of Gyeongseong Creature, a Netflix horror K-drama that starts as a period piece and moves into the present day during season 2. In addition to all the licensed K-dramas available on Netflix, the streamer is also known for original Korean productions. Gyeongseong Creature is one of many successful Netflix K-drama webseries, and while the first season received mixed reviews, the show was renewed for season 2.

Gyeongseong Creature season 1 takes place in 1945 in the final days of World War II. It combines real historical elements with science fiction aspects in a horror story set in Gyeongseong. The first season of the K-drama starring Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee sees Tae-sang and Chae-ok teaming up to investigate the Ongseong Hospital, which a lot of patients don’t return. Gyeongseong Creature season 2 takes place in 2024 and sees Chae-ok, who’s still alive, meeting a man who looks just like Jang Tae-sang.
