Go Hyun-jung and Ryeoun pursue their dreams in Namib

The first teaser for ENA’s new series Namib has come swimming in on the ocean tide, giving much needed refreshment to our story’s parched underdogs Go Hyun-jung (Mask Girl) and Ryeoun (Twinkling Watermelon) in this story about family and dreams.

Giving us a little more insight into the drama’s title, the teaser takes us directly to its namesake the Namib, a vast desert stretching up from South Africa next to the Atlantic coastline, spanning across Namibia to Angola. It’s a striking landscape with the bluest waters meeting the arid sands and the scene then transitions to our two leads, similarly separated but together in the same space.

The voiceover and captions then introduce our characters, calling Kang Soo-hyun (Go Hyun-jung) a woman who is desolate like the desert. Indeed, Soo-hyun is in a desperate situation, now ousted from the entertainment company that she built as the CEO and having to start over from scratch.

Her last hope is turning the talented but long-time trainee Yoo Jin-woo (Ryeoun) into a star, who is likened by the teaser to a wandering child, struggling to find his footing amidst the ocean waves.

Soo-hyun then closes the divide between them by running to Jin-woo and the short teaser comes to an with the final screen, reading, “The place where the desert and sea meet to become a dream.”

Production for ENA’s Namib has Eom Sung-min (Default) writing alongside co-directing by PD Han Sang-jae (Cold Blooded Intern) and PD Kang Min-goo. Slated to air in the Monday-Tuesday slot, the series follows Brewing Love on December 23 next month.
