Although it’s just been a few weeks since his last drama ended, actor Seo In-gook (Doom at Your Service) is already in talks for a new mystery action drama called Handsome Shaman: Case Diary.
The drama is based on a popular web novel by the same title and is centered around the role offered to Seo In-gook. Named Ha Joon, the character was once a profiler but now works as a shaman and runs a mysterious café. In what sounds like an episodic format, the story will follow the shaman as different customers come to visit the café and seek his services.
Deviating from the source material, however, the drama will introduce a new character to change up the dynamics — and it’s reported that a comedic element will unfold as a result.
Mystery drama Handsome Shaman: Case Diary is still in pre-production and a broadcasting station has not yet been announced. Scripts will be written by Park Hye-jin (The Yellow Sea, Ruler-Master of the Mask) and filming is set to begin this coming October.
