We lost the great Kang Soo-yeon earlier this year, an actress who left a rich legacy of work behind her. Before her passing, she has completed her work on her last feature, “Train to Busan” director Yeon Sang-ho's new Netflix production “Jung_E”, which is coming up for release on the streaming giant next month.
Synopsis
Set in the 22nd century, climate change has caused the planet to become uninhabitable and humans live within a man-made shelter. A war takes place within the shelter. Jung-E is the elite leader of the allied forces. She becomes the subject of a brain cloning experiment. The cloning experiment is a potential key to win the war.
Seo-hyun and Sang-hun are responsible for the success of the brain cloning experiment. Seo-hyun is the team leader of the laboratory that develops brain cloning and AI technology. Sang-hun is the director of the laboratory.
This will be Yeon Sang-ho's second production with Netflix, after his tv series “Hellbound”. Kim Hyun-joo, who also worked with Yeon in “Hellbound”, plays the titular Jung-E. Kang Soo-yeon plays Seo-hyun, whereas Sang-hun will be played by Ryu Kyung-soo, also a cast member on “Hellbound”. “Jung_E” releases on Netflix worldwide on January 20th, 2023.
