OCN just dropped an awesome teaser for its upcoming superhero sci-fi drama Rugal, starring Choi Jin-hyuk (Justice) and Park Sung-woong (When the Devil Calls Your Name). Rugal refers to this drama’s group of elite soldiers who have been bio-engineered to have superior capabilities. Together, they fight against Korea’s largest underground terrorist organization, Argos, headed by Park Sung-woong’s character.
When Argos commits another unspeakable act of terror, Choi Jin-hyuk loses both his eyesight and his beloved wife. He is reborn through Rugal with a new set of bionetic eyes and a mission for revenge.
The teaser begins with a man in a red mask, standing over a desk threateningly in the middle of a dark room. The scene flashes to a compositionally opposite room with a man in a white blindfold, sitting in the middle of a brightly-lit white room. He slowly pulls the blindfold off as the other man takes his mask off. Choi Jin-hyuk’s voiceover says: “When the bastard snatched away my everything, I was reborn.”
When the blindfold falls away, we see the man is Choi Jin-hyuk with glowing blue artificial eyes. The man in the mask is revealed to be Park Sung-woong. And thus, the battle begins between light and dark, justice and greed.
In addition to Park Sung-woong and Choi Jin-hyuk, Jo Dong-hyuk (Love Affairs in the Afternoon), Jung Hye-in (Graceful Family), Han Ji-wan (Search Query: WWW), Kim Min-sang (Stove League), and Park Sun-ho (Best Chicken) are expected to play impressive characters in Rugal.
Monday-Tuesday OCN drama Rugal will begin airing on March 16.
