Like other Netflix series, Gyeongsong Creature boasts a star-studded cast line-up that makes it difficult to not give it a watch.

It is set in the 1940s where people fight for their survival against monsters in the grim era.

Its main lead Park Seo-jun plays wealthy businessman Jang Tae-sang. He has got a good sense of humour and insight that makes him a good informant in town.

After learning how to survive and adapt, the show’s female lead Han So-hee, who plays Yoon Chae-ok, comes back to Gyeongsang to find her mother who disappeared years ago.
