JAKARTA - Korean drama Grid tells the story of a mysterious figure named "Ghost" (played by Lee Si-young) who disappeared after developing the Grid system that protects humans from deadly disasters. After 24 years of disappearance, he reappears and helps a serial killer escape.
Detective Jung Sae-byeok (Kim A-joong) teams up with government official Kim Sae-ha (Seo Kang-jun) to try to uncover the secret behind the mysterious creature while simultaneously pursuing the serial killer.
Here are 3 reasons to watch Korean drama, Grid.
1. Saving Earth from Disaster South Korean director Lee Khan said that the science fiction series "Grid" he worked on contained a message about efforts to save the earth and humans in it from disaster.
"It was not easy to decide to direct this series. What surprised me was the theme of this series, which is 'we have to protect our planet earth'," Lee was quoted as saying by The Korea Times on Thursday, February 17.
The series premiered on the Disney+ streaming platform on Wednesday, February 16.
"Until now, I actually still wonder why there are no series or films in Korea that talk about saving the Earth. So I join hands with the writer," said the director who directed the film "The Divine Move 2: The Wrathful" (2019).
2. Sci-Fi with Few Visual Effects
He said that the series would be a science fiction genre with less visual effects. He also noted that his main focus in serializing "Grid" was creating fictional universes into unknown plots.
"There are a lot of sci-fi elements but our series doesn't have any visual effects from it. The series develops a different story that the writer wants to tell, based on reality. Since the plot is a bit alien, we put a lot of effort into convincingly developing the fictional universe." Lee.
3. Tension Throughout the Story Meanwhile, Kim A-joong, who returned to his role after he last played in the Live Up to Your Name (2017) series, admitted that he was captivated by the story that Grid presented after reading the script.
The 10-episode series is written by Lee Soo-yeon, who is the author and creator of the crime thriller series Stranger.
"I was intrigued by how the plot developed. I was able to capture the suspense throughout this mystery thriller. I was blown away by the details and unique style that writer Lee had," he said.
