Jo Yeo-jung and Park Ha-sun are cursed in Tarot
by lovepark
LG’s Studio X+U has finally announced a release date for its omnibus horror Tarot. The drama first premiered a segment at Cannes International Series Festival in April and then played a film version June 14 in theaters which showcased three out of the seven episodes. Now, the full series will hit the small screen next month just in time to scare away the summer heat.
The cast includes Jo Yeo-jung (Behind Every Star), Park Ha-sun (The Veil), Jung Young-joo (Miss Night and Day), Go Kyu-pil (Frankly Speaking), Dex (a.k.a. Kim Jin-young), Ham Eun-jung (Su-ji and Wu-ri), and Seo Ji-hoon (The Midnight Studio) among many others. Each episode will feature a different story with its own leads and present separate but linked mysteries that come together like a puzzle.
The stories released thus far are Jo Yeo-jung’s Santa’s Visit, Dex’s Abandon Me, and Go Kyu-pil’s Going Home. As for the rest of the titles, they are Couple Manager, Rental Mom, Phishing, and One-person Storage.
The teaser opens with Jung Young-joo explaining the meaning behind the Hermit card — a person searching for enlightenment in the darkness. The scene cuts to our various leads and the tarot cards they hold as they wonder if fate truly exists. In response, Jung Young-joo claims that if people knew every cause and effect, then the future would be set like fate.
Seven cards, seven fates, and a cursed message that befalls our heroes. As the teaser flashes between its characters’ fear-stricken faces, a voice says that this was their decision. Screams, laughs, knives, near-death falls, and a plethora of horror-related elements play in quick succession. The teaser then ends on the Fool card and a chilling message from Jung young-joo plays in voiceover, “Wait, the story hasn’t even begun.”
Written by Kyung Min-sun and directed by PD Choi Byung-gil (High Class), Tarot premieres July 15.

The theater release of this web series has confused many people. One episode featuring Jo Yeo Jeong went to Cannes for its short series. The studio must have used that reception to distribute 3 episodes in theaters. In its 11 days in theaters, it only had 18,954 admissions and $125,338 box office.

What is an "omnibus horror"!? Is that even a genre. I'm also confused and maybe slightly intrigued. 😅 Not sure if the mix n' match works. There are such awesome actors listed here but is the story utilizing their talent well.

🤔 “Omnibus Horror” sounds like a particularly unpleasant flavor of “Truck of Doom”.
Pass! 😅

It merely means a collection of horror stories, in this case with the same plot device, a tarot card, as the starting point.

And also a plot arch that threads thru all of them. 'separate but linked mysteries that come together like a puzzle.'

The tarot card is cursed and moves from person to person!?

I will watch the first few minutes of "One Person Storage" because Seo Ji Hoon is featured (together with Lee Joo Bin recently of "Queen of Tears"). But only to so that I can view a few minutes of his great acting.
