[Orion's Daily Ramblings] "Sketch - Drama" Releases Tense First Stills of Rain

 

 

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen. Our crime and time fighting leading detective has been revealed in these first stills from upcoming series "Sketch - Drama". The hero looks plain, or at least as plain as they can make someone like Rain appear, and it looks like we're not catching him at a good time.

 

"Sketch - Drama" is a series about an ace detective who has lost his loved one, and a sketch artist who can draw the future as it will take place within the next 72 hours. Rain plays Kang Dong-soo, the ace homicide detective who solves cases with his great intuition and successful execution. He dives right in when it comes to catching a criminal, but he is a rational man who logically assesses a situation and keeps his cool even under critical conditions.

 

 

Dong-soo is someone whose life was doing great before it all went downhill. He was recognized and respected at his job, and he was about to be married to the woman he loved, before she was tragically killed. The actor will show the character's great transformation as he tries to solve his loved one's murder, while chasing after criminals and trying to change the future.

 

I've been wondering if "Sketch - Drama" would go for a stylish and sleek apperance, or if it would follow a more down to Earth approach. The premise might feature psychic powers, but I'm glad to see that the hero doesn't chase suspects in formal wear and copious amounts of hair gel. I quite like Rain, and I look forward to Dong-soo's journey.

 

"Sketch - Drama" is written by Kang Hyeon-seong ("The King's Case Note", "Hidden Identity"), directed by Lim Tae-woo ("Yuna's Street", "The Duo") and it will follow "Pretty Sister Who Buys Me Food" on jTBC in May.

“Sketch” will be an investigative action drama that follows the stories of people trying to change a future that lies ahead of them. An ace detective who lost the one he loves teams up with a female detective who can sketch out events that will happen 72 hours later to chase after a string of murder cases.

 

Lee Sung Bin will play the role of detective Yoo Shi Hyun. She has taken on a wide variety of characters before, such as a con artist in “Squad 38,” a top star in “Missing 9,” and the media representative of a criminal investigative team in “Criminal Minds.” However, this is the first time she will be playing a detective, and anticipation is high for the actress as she has an interesting filmography and isn’t afraid to take on new challenges.

 

Yoo Shi Hyun is someone who has the ability to sketch out things that will happen 72 hours into the future. Though she is scarred by childhood incidents that arose from her powers, she chose to become a detective to use her abilities to help as many people as possible. She tries to use her sketches to stop murders from happening, and she teams up with Kang Dong Soo (played by Rain) to solve cases.

 

The new stills show Lee Sun Bin at she investigates a situation, looking serious as she takes everything in. The production staff stated, “Lee Sun Bin’s sketches will play a key role in the drama. She will make a strong duo with Rain as they try to solve their cases.”

 

JTBC’s “Sketch” will be the follow-up drama of “Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food” and will begin airing in May.
