Mysterious things seem to happen in K-dramas when it comes to small remote islands. A new K-drama has been cast and will start filming shortly for release in early 2025. The drama is titled Pigpen and is adapted from a webtoon of the same name by the same manhwa artist behind Sweet Home. Jang Ki Yong plays a man who wakes up in that weird island having lost his memory and needs to deal with a strange family led by Cha Seung Won who runs the only bed and breakfast on the island. Roj Jeong Eui is his equally mysterious daughter and there are a whole of creepy and weird things happening on the island. Directing is the PD behind thriller movie Midnight FM.
