CJ ENM\u2019s thriller drama \u2018The Cursed\u2019 has been chosen as one of the titles for the International Panorama at SERIES MANIA, which is set to take place in Lille, France from 20th March.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is CJ ENM\u2019s second nomination following ‘The Guest’, which had also been invited to SERIES MANIA last year. \u2018The Cursed,\u2019 which premiered on the February 10th, is an occult thriller drama that revolves around a girl who has the ability to curse someone strong enough to make him or her die. The girl meets a journalist who is investigating a mysterious conglomerate group led by a malevolent CEO. The 12-episode drama produced by CJ ENM\u2019s drama production house Studio Dragon and LEZHIN Studios, is created by Yeon Sang-ho, director famous for the much acclaimed zombie thriller \u2018Train to Busan,\u2019 which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. It was directed by Kim Yong-wan.<\/p>\n

Frederic Lavigne, artistic director at SERIES MANIA said, \u201cWith their first foray into scripted television drama, writer Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) and rising director Yong-wan Kim (Champion) imagine an edge-of-your-seat mystery thriller, anchored in the contemporary reality of a world ruled by shady tech companies, but also perpetuating the tradition of stylish, supernatural Korean dramas.\u201d He added, \u201cas an enigmatic shaman and a young girl cursed with occult powers respectively, actresses Jo Min-soo (Pieta) and Jung Ji-So (Parasite) revel in the madness of the premise. It\u2019s (black) magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeon Sang-ho, the creator of the drama told that he was \u201chonored to be invited.\u201d He said, \u201cI had previously been to film festivals, but being to a drama festival is a first. As a mania of western occult stories myself, I thought that eastern shamanism stories would appeal to western viewers in the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeon added that ‘The Cursed’ is \u201ca mixture of occult aspects added with mystery, thriller and hero stories. It became its\u2019 own unique genre thanks to the odd harmony.\u201d<\/p>\n

The screening of ‘The Cursed’ followed by a session with Yeon Sang-ho will take place on the Sunday, 22nd of March.<\/p>\n
