Gyeongsong Creature: Season 1 is set in early 1945, when Korea was under Japanese colonial rule, and centres around two young adults who encounter strange creatures born from greed, and then must battle for survival in the city of Gyeongseong—now known as Seoul. But it turns out, there may be something even more dangerous out there than the creatures themselves.

While Gyeongseong Creature: Season 1 captured the heartbreaking romance between two people standing against a tragedy borne from monstrous human desire in 1945 Gyeongseong, Gyeongseong Creature: Season 2, however, will take the audience on a journey to present-day Korea.
The upcoming season uncovers the never-ending ties of fate–both good and bad–that weaves through time. Ho-jae (Park Seo-joon), a man deceptively similar to Tae-sang, and Chae-ok (Han So-hee), a survivor of the Gyeongseong spring, navigate these complex relationships in the modern era.

Indeed, this raises questions. “Why does Ho-jae from 2024 look exactly like Tae-sang and what secret is he hiding?” Chae-ok, too, appears to have fully adapted to present-day Seoul, raising questions about her survival after drinking Najin in the last episode of Season 1. “What has she been up to since then?”

Lainey was the Digital Director of Tatler Malaysia. When not whiling away the hours watching documentaries, the latest K-drama, or reruns of Friends, she can be found indulging her wanderlust by stalking travel platforms or feeding her obsession with music. She loves animals, running, all things social media, a good conversation over coffee or soju or wine (often rambling on if nobody pulls the brakes on her), and is an avid fan of bursting-at-the-seams laughter.
