Han Hyo-joo, Park Hyung-sik and Jo Woo-jin are joining forces for this survival series from Ahn Gil-ho and Han Sang-woon, the director and writer duo behind the show Watcher. Calling to mind the recent hit show Sweet Home , this new drama will follow people trapped in an apartment complex when an infectious disease begins to spread, causing the building to be shut off from the outside world.
Han will play Sae-bom, a police tactical unit member who is cool under fire, while Park, in his first role since completing military service in South Korea, is on board as Yi-hyun, a detective who has long harboured a crush on Sae-bom. Meanwhile, Jo will play a ranking officer in medical command. The series begins production this month.
