Interest is surging for the new SBS drama 'Nightmare,' a fantasy revenge thriller about a vigilante group that traps criminals, who evade legal punishment, in their dreams. The drama has garnered significant attention, with search volumes spiking after the release of its special teaser.
'Nightmare' features a unique premise where AI technology is used to infiltrate people's dreams, designing inescapable nightmares for offenders. Kim Nam Gil portrays Kim Tae Yi, a detective more dangerous than gangsters, while Lee Yoo Mi plays Jang Gyu Eun, a timid individual in reality who transforms into a cruel nightmare designer in dreams. Recently, news broke that actor Kwon Yul will also join the cast, collaborating with Kim Nam Gil and Lee Yoo Mi. Directed by Lee Dan of 'Taxi Driver 2' and written by Kim Gyu Won, the drama is slated to air as an SBS Friday-Saturday series in the first half of 2027.
Bloggers have described the concept of 'Nightmare' as both chilling and satisfying. The combination of 'Kim Nam Gil + SBS' is particularly anticipated, marking Kim Nam Gil's return to SBS after two years since 'The Fiery Priest 2,' a pairing often considered a guaranteed hit. Kim Nam Gil's dialogue in the released teaser effectively conveys the drama's weighty atmosphere, further piquing viewers' curiosity.
