“Monster,” which will mark Yeo Jin Goo’s first drama since tvN’s “Hotel Del Luna,” is a new psychological thriller about two men (Yeo Jin Goo And Shin Ha Kyun) who are willing to break rules and the law in their pursuit of a serial killer. In order to uncover the killer’s identity, they must look deeper at the hidden sides of the people involved in the case, repeatedly asking themselves, “Who is the monster—is it you? Is it me? Is it us?” Yeo Jin Goo And Shin Ha Kyun Shin Ha Kyun will star in the drama as the unpredictable Lee Dong Shik, a former detective who has since been demoted to doing menial work at a local police station.
