The Season of Kkok Du will tell the narrative of Kkokdu, a cruel reaper who comes to Earth every 99 years to punish humanity. When he returns to the world, he meets Han Gye-jeol, a doctor with strange and enigmatic skills, and begins working as a visiting doctor.

Kang Yi-heon and Heo Jun-woo of MBC’s crime thriller Less Than Evil wrote the next drama (2018). Meanwhile, the drama will be helmed by Baek Soo-chan, who previously directed Alice (2020), and Kim Ji-hoon, who previously directed Check Out The Event (2021).

Kim Jung-Hyun and Im Soo-enigmatic Hyang’s relationship will grow in the next MBC drama

Kim Jung-hyun and Im Soo-hyang, who will play the key parts in The Season of Kkokdu, have piqued people’ interest with their diverse acting abilities. Kkokdu/Do Jin-woo will be played by Kim Jung-hyun. God chastised him for his wrongdoings and made him the guide of the underworld. He guides the deceased to the afterlife and also cleans up human garbage by inhabiting the body of Do Jin-woo, a human who resembles him. Although the cause for his curse is unknown, it will be exciting to watch whether Kkokdu is able to break free.

Im Soo-hyang will portray Han Gye-jeol, a doctor who graduated from the country’s worst medical school. Furthermore, after her mother’s death, she has no relatives save for her younger brother. She begins to feel lonely as a result of others looking down on her, who only recognize physicians from prominent schools, until Do Jin-woo enters her life.

The production crew also remarked on the inclusion of the two principal actors. They stated:

“The enthusiastic acting of Kim Jung Hyun and Im Soo Hyang is making the shooting location more vibrant. Including the two stars, everyone engaged in shooting is working hard to produce a superb drama, so we beg for your attention and expectation for ‘Kkokdu’s Gye Jeol.’”
