Kim Eun-hee-I VS Im Sung-han Go Head to Head

Published on 2023/06/22 | Source

Kim Eun-hee-I and Im Sung-han (Phoebe), who are considered representative 'star writers' in the small screen, will release new works side by side and face off with ratings.

They will present SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Revenant" and TV Chosun's Saturday-Sunday drama "Durian's Affair" one by one day on the 23rd and 24th, respectively, taking advantage of their respective talents such as thrillers and 'extreme' genres.

Kim Eun-hee-I, who made tvN hits such as "Signal" and SBS's "Sign", tells the story of Goo San-yeong (Kim Tae-ri), a woman possessed by evil spirits, and Yeom Hae-sang (Oh Jung-se), a man who can see evil spirits, in the backdrop of a world where evil spirits swarm outside the door. As the title suggests, it is an occult mystery thriller.

Following the Netflix drama "Kingdom" series and tvN's "Jirisan" writer Kim Eun-hee-I, who succeeded in putting occult elements at the forefront, is determined to continue her success with the same theme this time. Kim Eun-hee-I said, "I melted ghosts in folk beliefs and taboos in life into the story to revive the Korean feeling".

Writer Im Sung-han also chose his trademark 'messy fantasy' genre. He has been criticized for being unlikely and unique by combining extraordinary fantasy elements such as possessed, deviance, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) with absurd materials such as infidelity and revenge in SBS's "New Gisaeng Story" series, MBC's "Princess Aurora - Drama" and TV Chosun's "Love ft. Marriage and Divorce".

Starring actors Park Joo-mi, Choi Myung-gil, and Jeon No-min, "Durian's Affair" is a melodramatic fantasy in which two women from Joseon Dynasty, belonging from a noble family, become intertwined with men through time travel to the year 2023, the present. In particular, the preview of her daughter-in-law Yoon Hae-yeong confessing to her mother-in-law Choi Myung-gil, "I love you as a woman, not as a daughter-in-law", hinting at an unconventional setting, drawing concerns inside and outside the broadcaster.
