Lee Do-hyun, Kwak Dong-yeon
Rising stars Lee Do-hyun (Youth of May) and Kwak Dong-yeon (Vincenzo) have been confirmed for upcoming Netflix original series, Hunting Dogs. Currently, it’s been reported they are finalizing the details like scheduling and such.
Based on a Naver webtoon by the same name, Hunting Dogs is an 8-episode noir action drama about three men who become tangled up with each other because of debt. It’ll be a joint project between Naver subsidiary and Seed Film (Moral Sense).
Director Kim Joo-hwan of Midnight Runners fame is at the helm, and he’ll begin prep for Hunting Dogs after he finishes filming his current movie Puppy (Puppy to Hunting Dogs. Hur.) which stars Cha Tae-hyun. Art director Lee Bong-hwan, who worked with Kim Joo-hwan in The Divine Fury, will also be joining Hunting Dogs.
Right now, the production staff of Hunting Dogs is holding auditions for the female lead. They’ve revealed they want a fresh-faced rookie to join our two rising stars for the drama. Filming may begin later this year or early next year, depending on Lee Do-hyun’s filming schedule for Melancholia.
