Son Seok-gu Stars in Netflix Original Series 'Road,' a Korea-Japan Serial Murder Thriller

Actor Son Seok-gu is returning with the Netflix original series 'Road.' This drama is a transnational crime thriller depicting two detectives tracking bizarre serial murder cases occurring consecutively in Korea and Japan. Directed by Han Jun-hee and written by Jo Yu-jin, the series is generating significant anticipation.

'Road' is based on the Korea-Japan collaborative webtoon 'Blue Road,' and is set to be adapted with an enhanced focus on genre elements, building upon its unique subject matter and suspenseful plot. Son Seok-gu plays a Korean detective, while Eita Nagayama portrays a Japanese detective, engaging in a cross-border joint investigation. The supporting cast, including Kim Shin-rok, Choi Sung-eun, and Jung Jae-young, is also robust. The story begins with a grotesque body and Korean text found in Tokyo, followed by a similar body and Japanese text discovered in Korea.

Bloggers anticipate that this work will be a well-made investigative drama, combining a transnational scale spanning Korea and Japan with a solid narrative. Following his impactful performance in 'More Beautiful Than Heaven,' where he created a profound emotional line with Kim Hye-ja, different from his usual intense characters, there is high expectation for Son Seok-gu's new acting transformation in 'Road.'
