Netflix has announced Road (working title), a new international crime thriller series.
Based on the acclaimed webcomic Blue Road, Road (wt) follows two detectives as they track a series of gruesome cross-border murders, characterized by twisted bodies and mysterious dying messages.
The story begins in Tokyo, when a disfigured body is found with a blood-inked message written in Korean. Soon thereafter, a similar case emerges in Korea, this time with the messages written in Japanese. As the pattern continues, the authorities realize they are dealing with a serial killer operating across countries, prompting a joint investigation that takes the detectives from Seoul to Tokyo and beyond.
Leading the cast are top talent from Korea and Japan, including stars Son Suk-ku (A Killer Paradox, D.P.), who plays a detective from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Mobile Investigation Unit, and Eita Nagayama (Monster, Memories of Matsuko), who plays a detective from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s First Investigation Division.
Joining them are Kim Shin-rock (Hellbound, The Plot) as a facilitator of Korean-Japanese descent; Choi Sung-eun (My Name is Loh Kiwan, The Sound of Magic) as a National Intelligence Service agent assigned to the case; and Jung Jae-young (Noryang: Deadly Sea, On the Verge of Insanity) as a powerful figure of unknown identity.
Road (wt) will be directed by Han Jun-hee (D.P., Coin Locker Girl, Weak Hero Class 1).
Stay tuned for updates.
