Kim Jung-hyun and Im Soo-hyang are tied by fate with a kiss

by tccolb

MBC has been generously pushing out promos for their upcoming fantasy Kokdu: Season of Deity, and the latest round includes a new teaser along with stills of their supporting cast.

Our title’s Kokdu – played by Kim Jung-hyun (Mr. Queen) – is back among mortals to fulfill his grim reaper duties and punish evil-doers for their sins. But his priorities become shaken when he runs into Han Gye-jeol – played by Im Soo-hyang (Doctor Lawyer) – the present reincarnation of his past love.

In the new stills, we get another look at Gye-jeol’s brother Ahn Woo-yeon (Young Lady and Gentleman) in addition to Gye-jeol’s colleague and fellow doctor Dasom (Dramaworld). We also can’t forget Kokdu’s underlings, the half-gods Kim In-kwon (The Good Detective 2) and Cha Chung-hwa (Why Her).

The new teaser begins with our heroine introducing herself as Dr. Han Gye-jeol, while our hero simply says that he’s Kokdu. Gye-jeol doesn’t understand what a “Kokdu” is and we briefly flash back to a solemn Kokdu standing before the barren underworld. We then cut to our pair in the present, where an upset Gye-jeol demands, “Kneel in front of me and apologize!” Kokdu is confused and vocally refuses to do such a thing. But his body obeys against his will, shocking both Kokdu and Gye-jeol.

Kokdu understands right away that Gye-jeol wields some kind of power over him and tells her not to order him around. But it’s unclear how much Gye-jeol is aware as she graciously tells Kokdu to hop on her bike and welcomes him to come inside. Despite his forced obedience to her commands, Kokdu willingly chooses to see Gye-jeol and asks her outright to date. In reply, Gye-jeol asks for proof that they’re destined to be together and the teaser closes on Kokdu’s offer to confirm their fate with a kiss.

Production for the drama is led by a team of four with PD Baek Soo-chan (Alice) and PD Kim Ji-hoon (Check Out the Event) co-directing alongside Bad Detective writers Kang Yi-heon and Heo Joon-woo. MBC’s Kokdu: Season of Deity premieres next week on January 27.

If only all dramas used this kind of an argument early on instead of beating around the bush for ages)))

Isn't the setup of this show that they met in the land before time, when there was an excess of the letter k? That's a long time to be acquainted before dating. All the other kdrama couples only knew each other since childhood.

Technically you're right, but then again, I can name quite a few dramas when OTP reunited due to reincarnation and yet STILL took ages to get back together properly. I suppose, by kdrama cruel logic dying and getting reborn doesn't necessarily mean you've suffered enough to get your happy ending right away)))

Kim In-kwon and Cha Chung-hwa look dashing in thier corporate looks.

And who turned Kim Jung-hyun to this pouty bubbly teenager you just wanna squish into your arms. Not one of his facial expressions has me taking him serious.
