A new video teaser has been released for SBS’s upcoming crime thriller Through the Darkness (a.k.a. Those Who Read Hearts of Evil), featuring lead actors Kim Nam-gil (The Fiery Priest), Jin Seon-gyu (One the Woman) and Kim So-jin (Marriage Contract, Escape from Mogadishu).

 

The story takes us back to South Korea in the 1990s, when a string of murders took the nation by storm. With no discernible links or motivations, it was a challenging situation for the police. Amidst this turmoil, South Korea’s first criminal profiler came into being.

 

 

The teaser begins with a quote from South Korea’s real-life first criminal profiler, Professor Kwon Il-yong: “Remembering it was like entering a darkened room through a door that couldn’t be opened again once you’ve already gone through it.”

On a rainy night, we see a woman get off the bus and hurry home when an unknown person starts following her. In voiceover, we learn what’s happening in the news report: “Police have reported that there are still no clues about the identity of the Red Hat who has been terrorizing women in the Seoul area since last May.” Just before the woman is attacked, the onscreen text explains the backstory: “In the late 1990s, a motiveless homicide.”

The teaser then cuts to Kim Nam-gil interrogating a prisoner and recording their conversation. Kim asks, “I would like to hear why you thought they weren’t the culprit,” and the prisoner replies, “If you don’t catch them, there’s going to be another incident.” Kim meets with Jin Seon-gyu afterwards, who asks, “Have you heard about profilers?” Handing Kim a book called Mindhunter (by former FBI agent John E. Douglas), Jin explains, “It’s criminal behavior analysis and requires an open mind, intuition, common sense, and logical reasoning. I’m certain that you’re the right person for the job.”

Kim Nam-gil and Jin Seon-gyu continue their police investigations as the onscreen text continues: “A dangerous conversation with serial killers.” An angry voice says, “These guys don’t have a motive! Even among us, there’s going to be someone who is merciless without reason.” Jin wonders, “What if our suspicions are right and it was because they failed to get the intended target?” Kim responds, “Then that means there are two serial killers in our country.”

We hear the prisoner from earlier saying, “The ones who get a taste for it can never quit.” In a sequence of shots, we see the unknown culprits attacking different people and hear two different voices: “You’re here again, old man?” and “They didn’t die? You’re saying they didn’t die?”

As the promo comes to a close, the onscreen text reads: “Walk into the devil’s heart/The birth of the nation’s first profiler.” We’re introduced to the drama’s three main actors: Kim Nam-gil, Jin Seon-gyu, and Kim So-jin. Returning to Kim Nam-gil, the teaser ends with his vow: “I will not stop here. I’m going to catch him no matter what.”

Written by Seol Yi-na and directed by PD Park Bo-ram, SBS drama Through the Darkness premieres on January 14, following Now We Are Breaking Up

Kim Nam Gil, Jin Sun Kyu, And Kim So Jin Are Shrouded In Mystery In Character Posters For New Criminal Drama

 

Dec 21, 2021

by L. Kim

 

SBS’s upcoming drama “Those Who Read Hearts of Evil” (literal translation) has released character posters of its three main leads!

“Those Who Read Hearts of Evil” is a drama about the first criminal profiler in Korea who looked into the hearts of serial killers at a time when random, motiveless murders were on the rise.

Kim Nam Gil will play the profiler Song Ha Young of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Scientific Investigation of Criminal Behavior Analysis team. Although Song Ha Young appears to lack emotions, he’s a figure who reads more deeply into humans than anyone else.

Jin Sun Kyu will star as Gook Young Soo, the team leader of the Criminal Behavior Analysis team. He recognized the need to analyze criminal behavior, and after a long period of planning, he created the Criminal Behavior Analysis team.

Kim So Jin will take on the role of Yoon Tae Goo, the team leader of the Mobile Investigation Unit at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Yoon Tae Goo uses her animal-like instincts to perceive cases, and she’s known as a legend in the world of handling violent crimes.

In the character posters, Song Ha Young, Gook Young Soo, and Yoon Tae Goo are staring at the camera from behind a glass filled with words and pictures related to the criminal investigation. This seems to symbolically show how opaque and foggy the minds of serial killers they had to look into were.

Despite the fact that they facial expressions and gazes are not clear due to the blurry glass, the three actors impressively depict the overall mysterious atmosphere of the drama. Their powerful aura makes viewers look forward to the story and characters.

YAH, its coming!

 

I was so looking forward to 'Island' and was sad that it got pushed back, but he has this one coming first so that good.

Those who read the minds of evil’ Kim Nam-gil × Kim So-jin, between cold-heartedness and passion

 

 

Kim Nam-gil × Kim So-jin, the style is different, but the mind is the same as a police officer.

 

On January 14, 2022, SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Those who read the minds of evil' (written by Seol-na/directed by Park Boram/produced by Studio S) will be broadcasted for the first time. 'Readers of Evil's Mind' is a drama depicting the story of the first profiler in Korea who had to fiercely look into the minds of serial killers at the peak of evil at a time when unmotivated murders were on the rise. As the first SBS drama in 2022, and a must-see drama, anticipation is high even before it airs.

 

In 'Those Who Read the Mind of Evil', there are two people who approach criminals in slightly different ways, but with the same desire to eradicate evil. They are Song Ha-young (Kim Nam-gil) from the criminal behavior analysis team and Yoon Tae-goo (Kim So-jin) from the Mobile Investigation Team. It seems that they are slightly out of line, but in the end, the relationship between the two people who run and look at the same place is expected to become a viewing point that cannot be missed by ‘Those Who Read Evil Minds’.

 

Song Ha-young, played by Kim Nam-gil in the play, is a person born with the temperament of a profiler. They are often misunderstood because of their expressionless expressions and tone of voice, but in fact, they know how to look into the inner side of others with a more delicate gaze than anyone else. This tendency of Song Ha-young continued into his investigation method after becoming a police officer. He deeply understands the psychology of the person in the case and pursues the criminal's actions.

 

Yoon Tae-goo, played by Kim So-jin, is the leader of the Mobile Investigation Unit and is known as a homicide legend. At first glance, she looks squishy and combative, but she's keen and exudes a ton of charisma that comes from being able to control herself. In addition, she was born with an animal sense of recognizing events. That is why Taegu Yoon never spares herself. There is definitely a difference with Song Ha-young.

 

In this regard, the production team of 'Readers of Evil's Mind' said, "In the drama, Kim Nam-gil and Kim So-jin pursue criminals in their own style. The two have different styles, so it may seem like they are at odds with each other. However, the desire to pursue the criminal is the same. It seems to be creaking, but the appearance of the two people approaching the criminal more fiercely than anyone else, the relationship between the two people, and the acting breathing of the two actors who draw it will add to the fun.”

On January 14, 2022, SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Those who read the minds of evil' (written by Seol-na/directed by Park Boram/produced by Studio S) will be broadcasted for the first time. 'Those Who Read the Mind of Evil' tells the story of the first profiler in Korea who had to fiercely look into the minds of serial killers at the peak of evil at a time when unmotivated murders were on the rise. It is expected to be a well-made crime psychological investigation drama ambitiously presented by SBS, a renowned genre of genres.

 

The 2021 SBS drama received a lot of love from viewers, capturing all the ratings, topicality, and workability. As such, the expectations and trust of viewers for the 2022 SBS drama are high. As the first runner, a 12-episode drama, a crime psychological investigation drama with a rich genre, 'Those who read the minds of evil' is coming. How special and attractive was ‘Those Who Read Evil Minds’, so it was chosen as the first SBS drama in 2022?

 

The first confidence in ‘Readers of Evil Minds’ is a solid script. Based on the non-fiction report of the same name, Seol Na has meticulously completed the beginnings of Korean-style profiling. Here, the story focuses on people who are 'chasing' a serial killer, not a serial killer, and contains a fun and heavy message different from existing crime investigation dramas. The advice of Professor Kwon Il-yong, Korea's first profiler, improved the drama's perfection.

 

The second confidence in ‘Readers of Evil Minds’ is the meeting of acting gods such as Kim Nam-gil (Song Ha-young), Jin Seon-gyu (Kook Young-soo), and Kim So-jin (Yoon Tae-goo). Korea's best actor Kim Nam-gil, Jin Seon-gyu who chewed the stage and screen, and Kim So-jin, who attacked the small screen with a powerful presence. It is said that the three main actors radiated strong acting power and concentration in every scene. In addition, actors of all generations filled ‘Those who read the minds of evil’.

 

The third confidence in ‘Readers of Evil Minds’ is director Park Bo-ram’s directing ability. Director Park Boram, who has built solid directing skills by participating in SBS hit films such as ‘The Fiery Priest’ and ‘Penthouse’ series, presents bold and sensuous directing through his mouthpiece ‘Readers of Evil Minds’. In addition, the detailed and meticulous directing that makes use of the characteristics of the genre is a viewing point. A drama beyond perfection is expected.

 

SBS's ambitious crime psychological investigation drama 'Those who read the minds of evil' in 2022. A meticulous script, excellent actors, and bold directing met. Here, it contains a heavy message and thought that I have never seen anywhere else. This is why 'Those Who Read the Mind of Evil' is the first and must-see drama in 2022 and the most anticipated drama in the first half of 2022.

 

'Those who read the minds of evil' will premiere on Friday, January 14, 2022 at 10:00 PM, following 'Now, We're Breaking

*****

"Here, the story focuses on people who are 'chasing' a serial killer, not a serial killer, and contains a fun and heavy message different from existing crime investigation dramas."

 

It is all I wanted to hear. I`ve already sensed that they will focus on the profilers and their work and that`s what I wanted. I love the cast too. Yes, this drama is one of the anticipated dramas and I have expectation.

[twinkle_little_star]

hai everyone.  I would never know Those Who Read Hearts Of Evil is SBS's ambitious crime psychological investigation drama which is all set to commence and take over Now, We're Breaking Up. Readers of Evil Minds seem to have bumped into one another and this new poster that just released, the leads of the show were so caught up on my mind that I didn't realize what was happening with my daily routine.  I'm willing to suspend disbelief even it's messy but, I like it and join this drama for the ride.

Anyone know where we can watch this? Viki, Netflix etc?

People who read the minds of evil' Kim Nam-gil x Jin Seon-gyu main poster... special aura

 

 

E-Daily Star in Reporter Bo-Young Kim] 'Those who read the minds of evil' side has released two main posters that shine with the overwhelming presence of Kim Nam-gil and Jin Seon-gyu.

 

'Those who read the minds of evil' has been called a content restaurant even before the broadcast. This is because the previously released teasers, character posters, and teaser trailers boast a strong impact and immersion, leaving a deep afterimage in the minds of prospective viewers. From the pre-contents, anticipation is rising to see what kind of story this special ‘Readers of Evil Minds’ will tell in this drama.

 

Along with this, another powerful content to decorate the content restaurant 'Those who read the mind of evil' was released on the 28th. The two main posters, which contain the special aura of the two men who lead the play, Kim Nam-gil and Jin Seon-gyu, as well as the overall atmosphere and color of the drama, have been removed from the veil.

 

The first main poster contains Kim Nam-gil and Jin Seon-gyu sitting opposite each other in what appears to be an interrogation room, and the second main poster contains Kim Nam-gil and Jin Seon-kyu walking side by side in the dark. The two people in the play are the beginnings of Korean profiling, and they are the people who stand at the center of it. Together, they chase a serial killer and struggle to read the serial killer's mind. Through the intense eyes of the two men in the poster, you can feel their strong will to pursue a serial killer.

 

At the same time, it stimulates curiosity about the symbolic meaning hidden throughout the poster. The ‘darkness’ in the two posters seems to symbolize the evil heart they had to look into. Through the appearance of two men breaking through this darkness, it is expected that they will uncover the heart of evil. Also, the copy that can be read as “Why did you think you were the criminal?” or “Why did you not think that you were the criminal?”, depending on the view, also allows us to guess the intricacies of the two men who approach evil with all possibilities open.

 

Above all, the powerful aura of Kim Nam-gil and Jin Seon-gyu is admiring. There are no dynamic poses or explosive expressions, but the two actors captured the overall atmosphere of the character and the drama with impact only with their eyes and facial expressions. You can see why the two actors are called ‘meeting of the acting gods’. Furthermore, I am curious and looking forward to how special and chewy the ‘Those Who Read the Mind of Evil’, where you can see the performances of the two actors together, will be.

People who read the minds of evil' Kim Nam-gil X Jin Seon-kyu X Kim So-jin, acting more cinematic than a movie

 

 

 

On January 14, 2022, SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Those who read the minds of evil' (written by Seol-na, directed by Park Boram) will be broadcasted for the first time. ‘Readers of the Mind of Evil’ is a psychological crime investigation drama depicting the story of the first profiler in Korea who had to fiercely look into the minds of serial killers at the peak of evil at a time when unmotivated murders were rapidly increasing.

 

‘Readers of Evil Minds’ is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films in the first half of 2022. This is because powerful actors who will hold the audience together based on a solid script and bold directing have come together. In particular, Kim Nam-gil (Song Ha-young), Jin Seon-gyu (Kook Young-soo), and Kim So-jin (Yoon Tae-goo), who have united in the lead roles of ‘Readers of Evil Minds,’ are actors who have shown the best acting skills regardless of genre, including small screens, screens, and stages. expectations are bound to rise.

 

First of all, Kim Nam-gil takes on the role of Song Ha-young, who becomes Korea's first profiler in the drama. Song Ha-young seems to have no feelings at first, but he is a person who understands other people's feelings better than anyone else. Unlike acting that dramatically releases emotions, acting that shows the psychology of a character without revealing emotions requires a high degree of concentration. Song Ha-young's character is just that. Kim Nam-gil completed the character Song Ha-young, which no one can digest with his overwhelming acting skills. In various posters and teaser videos released earlier, Kim Nam-gil unraveled all the stories with one glance. Kim Nam-gil's ability to control the screen, making everyone immersed in an instant, was also surprising.

 

Jin Seon-gyu, a representative actor, is expected to shine strongly in the small screen beyond the stage and screen. Jin Seon-gyu takes on the role of Kook Young-soo, who first realizes the need for profiling and creates a criminal behavior analysis team. Kook Young-soo is a person who possesses friendliness and sharpness at the same time. He has to show from his bright appearance to the powerful energy that flashes his eyes when the switch is turned on. Jin Seon-gyu portrayed Kook Young-soo, crossing the poles with a wide range of expressive power. Jin Seon-gyu's acting, who sometimes controls the play with his kind smile and sometimes sharp analytical power, will make ‘Those Who Read Evil Minds’ even more chewy.

 

Lastly, Kim So-jin takes on the role of Yoon Tae-goo, the team leader of the Mobile Investigation Unit in the play. Yoon Tae-gu is a person who does not hesitate to bump into each other to catch the criminal. The character itself is fierce. She has to pour out his endless energy as an actor. Kim So-jin, who exuded a unique presence and aura in a big movie, is the perfect casting for the role of Yoon Tae-goo. Her strong acting skills, which explode at her important moments, are her message that 'Readers of Evil's Mind' has been made into a more cinematic drama than a movie. Kim So-jin's acting, who ate her screen, was finally able to be seen in the small screen.

 

In 'Those who read the minds of evil', there are three actors who are called the acting gods: Kim Nam-gil, Jin Seon-gyu, and Kim So-jin. The three actors give amazing performances in every scene. Among the numerous reasons to watch ‘Those who read the minds of evil’, the biggest and one that should not be missed is the passionate battle of the acting gods. I'm curious and looking forward to the first broadcast of 'Those Who Read the Mind of Evil'. Meanwhile, SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Readers of Evil Minds' will premiere on January 14, 2022 at 10 pm, following 'Now, We're Breaking Up'.

SBS’s upcoming drama “Through the Darkness” has released a third teaser!

Set in the late 1990s, “Through the Darkness” is based on the story of the first criminal profiler in South Korea, who looked into the hearts of serial killers at a time when random, motiveless murders were on the rise and the word “profiling” did not yet exist.

Kim Nam Gil stars as Song Ha Young, a member of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Criminal Behavior Analysis team. Jin Sun Kyu plays friend and colleague Guk Young Soo, who originally brought Song Ha Young into the Criminal Behavior Analysis team.

In the third teaser, released on December 31, the drama sets up a time period in which it was considered strange to want to interview criminals. Song Ha Young and Guk Young Soo directly meet with and interview criminals in order to understand the criminal mind. Although the criminals sneer at and taunt them, the two men remain calm and unshaken. Song Ha Young explains, “We’re people who analyze the cause and reason for why these things happen.”

About the work of a profiler, he says, “A profiler’s question is a kind of temptation. If you want to get something, then you have to thoroughly understand it. You have to hold back your own rage.
