"Evil Ghost" is a suspense drama directed and written by Li Hejin Zaihong, starring Jin Tairi and Hong Jing. From June 23rd, 2023, the drama will be broadcast on South Korea's SBS TV station 1 1 every Friday and Saturday night.
"Evil Ghost" tells the story of a man with good English who works during the day and studies at night. She has been preparing for the Grade 9 civil service examination for several years, but she has repeatedly failed the list. After receiving her father's inheritance, she found that she had been troubled by suspicious deaths around her and gradually became different.
Lian Xianghai, a professor of folklore from the chaebol family, is different from ordinary people because his eyes can see different things. He met you in an unexpected opportunity, Shan Ying. Li Hongsai, the chief guard of the violent crime investigation team from the police university, only took the special police chief as his life goal, but he was intertwined with the good Britain and the honest fate of the sea and witnessed a series of incredible and mysterious events with his own eyes.
Creative thinking of "evil spirits"
"Evil Ghost" is a work based on Korean folklore, which integrates the core keyword of youth with supernatural and supernatural themes. In fact, the perspective of youth is designed by a 25-year-old woman who is struggling under the rascal during the difficult preparation period, with the hazy heart and young and pure love between Shan Ying and Li Hongsai, and the state that the young protagonist who is more likely to trigger the Z generation can show when facing the abnormality.
In fact, the creative thinking of "Evil Ghost" is similar to the popular Taiwanese drama "Bad Obsession Remover" some time ago. Both of them are "back-door narratives" from a relatively young subjective perspective under the elements of exotic folklore, horror and paranormal, and the latter can even be classified as a branch of youth drama.
However, from the creative thinking of Evil Ghost and Bad Obsession Remover, we can know that trying to integrate the concept of folklore, which is relatively small but can capture people's interest, into regular dramas such as youth dramas and love dramas may break the deadlock of traditional track customs to some extent. In the traditional culture represented by folk customs, we can also find fresh expressions that are more in line with young audiences.
