CONNECT Trailer Reveals A Killer Look At Takashi Miike’s First Korean Drama For Disney+ Korea
Firstly set to screen for the 27th Busan International Film Festival this month, fans of acclaimed genre favorite Takashi Miike are now all invited for a look at his latest pivot into streaming with new six-part series, Connect, for Disney+ Korea.
What if Miike Takashi, well-known with his unique imagination and visualization, makes a series of drama based on a Korean webtoon? Adapting Shin Dae-sung’s webtoon, Connect depicts a mysterious story that occurs when Dong-soo (Jung Haein) who has been deprived of an eye by organ hunters connects with a person who has received his organ transplant. The unique settings of the original story such as the super regeneration ability of the main character, brutal organ hunters, an unidentified serial killer, and the connection of the body senses between different people become very sensational with the hands of Miike Takashi, who is famous for the extreme violence on human body. His grotesque and provoking presentation is captivating throughout the film. The stars of the movie, Jung Haein, Ko Kyungpyo, and Kim Hyejun, bring fine performances and make the film absorbing as it tightly develops. Among a total of six, three episodes will be introduced.
