Go Hyun Jung and Jang Dong Yoon Cast in SBS Police Thriller K-drama Mantis

A new SBS drama will be adapted from the French Le Mante and uses the same title of Mantis. The leads have now been confirmed as veteran actress Go Hyun Jung and young leading man Jang Dong Yoon, this time playing an estranged mother-son with a very dark history. Go Hyun Jung is a female serial killer incarcerated for killing 5 men twenty years ago, and her grown up son is now a police detective working on a case that seems to be copycatting her killing spree. The drama is from the PD of upcoming MBC drama Black Out and the screenwriter of 12.12: The Day and will air sometime in 2025.

  • Wow sounds intense. She a serial killer?! Should be entertaining for real. 😮 I mean she was Mishil lol

  • JDY's project choices have been poor after Mr Sunshine and Nokdu but this is finally promising. I'm unfamiliar with the PD but I heard great things about 12:12.

  • Good for JDY for taking on different roles as of lately. I can see GHJ playing a serial killer. She was scary in that drama with Shin Hyun Bin from a couple of years back, forgot the name of it.

  • I like being surprised by random castings like this, and better yet, both are good actors and the plot sounds really interesting! Will definitely watch out for this!

  • I watched the french version, GHJ's character was played by Carole Bouquet well known in France ,It's the story of a woman serial killer who is confined since 25 years , she agrees with helping the police with one condition ,to deal with his estranged son who is a detective .I'm not a fan of french fictions and hope that koreans will do a good job . There are only a few that i like and are big hits in France "HPI" , Capitaine Marleau, Les invisibles, Astrid et Raphaelle , L'art du crime, Balthazar , Agatha Chritie's little murders .
