Byun Yo Han may be returning with a new drama soon!

On June 18, an industry representative reported that the actor will lead the drama “Snow White Must Die” (literal title) based on the German mystery novel of the same name by Nele Neuhaus. In response to the report, his agency Saram Entertainment shared, “He received an offer [to star in the drama] and is reviewing it.”

The original novel “Snow White Must Die” is a bestseller that revolves around two detectives who dig into mysterious incidents that happen in a village. The drama will reinterpret those events and the characters in the book to match Korean sentiments, and it will show the ugly side of human nature.

Byun Yo Han has received an offer to play Go Jung Woo. When he was younger, he was smart enough to be on the early admission list to medical school. He went on a trip after taking his SAT (scholastic ability test) but became a murderer ever since that day. He returns to his hometown after being released from prison and comes across what happened 11 years ago.

If Byun Yo Han accepts the offer, this will be his first drama since “Mr. Sunshine” in 2018.

“Snow White Must Die” will be produced by Hidden Sequence, and the formation is still under discussion.

****

I don`t know if I will watch it. It is a genre I like and I want to watch Byun Yo Han in another drama but I guessed the culprit just reading the synopsis of the German novel. Even if I might not be  100% sure, I feel  I am 98% sure.

[larus]

There is an old article with the German novelist from 2011

 

The Korean version surpassed 100,000 copies within three months of publication... E-mail interview with Nele Neuhaus, author of ‘Death to Snow White

 

 

The German novelist Nele Neuhaus (44)'s mystery novel 'Death to Snow White' sold over 100,000 copies within three months of publication.

Published at the end of January, this book ranked ninth in the Kyobo Books Bestseller Bestseller list in the first week of March and ranked first in the novel category for five weeks in a row. In the recent tally (April 27-May 3), it ranked second after Shin Kyung-sook's 'Take Care of Mom' in the novel category, but it climbed to the third place in the general tally, maintaining its popularity.

 

'To Snow White... ’ is the first work introduced in Korea among Mr. Neuhaus’s books. It is a German literary work that was not the mainstream in the domestic and foreign book market as well as a writer that I encountered for the first time. We interviewed a writer living in Germany via e-mail.

 

“I never thought it would be so popular in Korea. I was very happy to hear the news.”

'To Snow White... ' is the fourth installment of the 'Taunus series' that Neuhaus has been showing since 2006. The core of the series is the story of the cold-headed investigative team leader Bodenstein and the emotional female detective Pia Combi solving an unsolved case. 'To Snow White... ’, the duo uncovers the truth about the murder of two teenage women 10 years ago.

Last year, 330,000 copies of the book were sold in Germany alone and the rights were sold in 20 countries. What is the force that has fascinated readers from various countries?

“I set the background of my work to a real area and place, and I try to bring probable and vivid characters as much as possible. Because of the strong realism and the high tension, many readers mistakenly believe that such a thing really happened. I think that realism is the biggest attraction.”

 

'To Snow White... The spatial background of ' is the Taunus he lives in, and because of this, on weekends, more tourists visit the places mentioned in the book, Neuhaus said.

He is now a widely read writer in the world, but he also had a small beginning. The first volume of the Taunus series, 'The Woman Who Is Hated', and the second part, 'Too Close Friends' were self-published. “When she was thirteen, her parents gave her a typewriter, and she wrote whenever she had spare time. But it was difficult for him to become a writer right away.”

Neuhaus did not give up her dream of becoming a writer while helping her husband run a sausage factory. 'To Snow White... ' sold over 250,000 copies in Germany, and her husband bluntly said, "I can sell 250,000 sausages too."

“My husband is not a reader at all. He didn't understand that I was sitting in front of a computer for hours, and when I said I was going to publish a book on my own, I shook my head. But now I am very proud of myself.”

Mr. Neuhaus said he had never been to Korea, but said that he had Samsung's European headquarters in Schwalbach, where his husband's company is, so Koreans sometimes come to buy sausages. Then, Mr. Neuhaus is the Korean version of 'To Snow White... ’, but Korean customers are surprised and happy.

 

He publishes the fifth installment of the Taunus series, The Wind Sower, in Germany this month. It is expected to be published in the second half of this year. “It’s a story about a windmill park being built in Taunus, but civic groups are against it. However, the people of civic groups have other plans and many conflicts are hidden. Murders happen one after another. You will be able to see the depths of human existence from the many people involved in the case.”

Actress Go Bo-gyeol looked back on her mini-series comeback after 3 years, ‘Sacred Idol’, and expressed her gratitude to viewers. She mentioned that she filmed Death to Snow White as well. I wonder when it will be broadcast.

 

-I think it will be a special feeling to greet viewers for the first time in about 3 years since ‘Hi Bye, Mama’ for the mini-series. How do you feel about the end of ‘Holy Idol’?

 

▲I also filmed a work called ‘Death to Snow White’, but it hasn’t been released yet, so it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say hello to you on air. Maybe that's why I was more nervous when broadcasting than when filming. In particular, I was curious about how viewers would view the character as I was presented with a character that was completely different from the previous work, ‘Hi Bye, Mama.’ Fortunately, I was very grateful that Kim Dal accepted me as such and supported me a lot.

MBC’s upcoming drama “Black Out” has confirmed its broadcast plans!

“Black Out” is a new project written by Seo Joo Yeon, known for the “Save Me 2” series, and directed by Byun Young Joo, acclaimed for “Helpless” and “The Murmuring.” Adapted from the best-selling German mystery novel “Snow White Must Die,” this crime thriller drama follows a young man accused of murder in a mysterious case where no body was found. 10 years later, he embarks on a journey to uncover the truth of that fateful day.

Byun Yo Han plays Go Jung Woo, a 19-year-old high school student arrested for the murder of two female classmates. Just as he is about to enter a prestigious medical school, Jung Woo is accused of a murder he doesn’t remember committing and spends 10 years in prison. After his release, he plans to leave his hometown and start a new life, but a series of strange events keep him from leaving.

Go Joon plays Noh Sang Chul, a detective assigned to Go Jung Woo’s case. Sang Chul, once a top police academy graduate and a promising elite detective, sees his life and career crumble when his bride is brutally murdered on their wedding day. This tragedy leads to his demotion to a local police station. Despite this setback, he is drawn back into Jung Woo’s case due to a new incident, intertwining their fates.

Actress Go Bo Gyeol plays Choi Na Gyeom, a top star and Jung Woo’s high school classmate. Na Gyeom has long had a crush on Jung Woo and has supported him devotedly throughout his 10 years in prison. She dreams of a happy life with him after his release.

Meanwhile, Kim Bo Ra plays Ha Seol. A medical student on a leave of absence, Ha Seol travels around the country on a scooter. She ends up working as a part-time restaurant employee in Mucheon Village, where the incident takes place.

A representative of MBC shared, “‘Black Out’ reveals the sinister side lurking beneath the facade of a seemingly tight-knit village, where neighbors are practically family, caught up in a murder case. The show explores the complexity of human nature, expertly crafted with immersive direction and a strong plot. As the series unfolds, we expect to deliver compelling twists that will captivate viewers.”

 

“Black Out” is scheduled to air on MBC as a Friday-Saturday drama in August.

by Lily Alice, July 9, 2024

MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Black Out dropped its chilling title sequence.

Black Out tells the story of a young man, Go Jung Woo, who was branded as a culprit in a murder case, while the corpse was never found. After serving ten years in prison, he now seeks to uncover the truth of the case that turned his life upside down.  

The title sequence begins showing a spooky warehouse against the backdrop of a dark night. Blood splattering on plastic sheets hints something horrifying happened, and the images of a blood-soaked monkey wrench and a "murder case" label on a DNA analysis sequence suggest a gruesome affair that took place in the warehouse.

Go Jung Woo (Byun Yo Han) scans his surroundings with mixed emotions — surprise, confusion, and emptiness. Beyond his piercing gaze, an eerie scene unfolds, prompting suspicion about the village residents' connection to the incident. The curiosity about what exactly happened 11 years ago, the day when Go Jung Woo's life turned upside down, continues to build. 

As the mystery murder case is pursued, conflicts of interest and psychological war among the villagers ensue, promising a drama with unexpected plot twists.

Black Out will premiere on August 16. There is currently no news about the K-drama's global OTT service. Watch the video here.

The teaser highlights the shattered life of Go Jung Woo, who allegedly brutally killed two of his high school student friends 11 years ago in Mucheon City. Although he sometimes displayed violent behavior, Go Jung Woo has no memory of committing the crime he is accused of.

When even his parents turn their backs on him, Jung Woo, who begins to question himself, resigns himself to a bitter acknowledgment, saying, "I guess I did kill them."

Byun Yo-han searches for his missing memory in Black Out

by lovepark

 

MBC’s upcoming mystery thriller Black Out released a new teaser, starring Byun Yo-han (Uncle Samsik) as Go Jung-woo, a man convicted of a crime of which he cannot recall. Even after spending a prison sentence for murder, Jung-woo still does not know the truth of that night or what he did.

The teaser shows two high school girls — the victims in this twisted case — and memories of their laughter mingle with scenes of them in fear. As Jung-woo gets hit by fellow inmates, their actions remind him of his own.

 

Fragmented snippets of Jung-woo slapping his classmate and covering something in a trunk suggest he did, in fact, kill his friends. However, Jung-woo does not remember what happened, and this blank in his timeline leaves him confused about his own innocence. Is this the whole truth, or did he forget something important?

 

Once released, Jung-woo sets out on a mission to recover what he lost. He returns to the crime scene in hopes of finding pieces of his missing memory. Amidst the garbage and forgotten items, Jung-woo discovers something: a student name tag.

As he checks the name, his expression wavers, and Jung-woo realizes that he did not do it. He professes his innocence, and all those years of not knowing erupt into a strangled scream. It seems something finally jogged his memory, but will it be enough to convince the rest of the world?

Also starring in the upcoming show is Go Joon (Cheat on Me If You Can) as Detective Noh Sang-cheol, Go Bo-kyul (The Heavenly Idol) as Jung-woo’s old classmate Choi Na-kyeom, and Kim Bora (Like Flowers in Sand) as medical student Ha Seol.

Adapted from the German novel Snow White Must Die, the fourteen-episode drama is directed by filmmaker Byun Young-joo (Helpless) and written by Seo Joo-yeon (Rescue Me 2). MBC’s Black Out is slated to premiere August 16 in the Friday-Saturday slot.

Byun Yo Han Is Convinced He Is Innocent in "Black Out"

by Lily Alice, July 16, 2024

MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Black Out dropped its second teaser featuring Go Jung Woo (Byun Yo Han) desperately crying for being trapped in the agony of oblivion. 

Black Out tells the story of a young man, Go Jung Woo, who was branded as a culprit in a murder case, while the corpse was never found. After serving ten years in prison, he now seeks to uncover the truth of the case that turned his life upside down.  

The teaser video starts with Go Jung Woo, a young man who lost his two friends long ago. Accused of murdering them, with whom he used to laugh and play, he has suffered various hardships in prison, yet he cannot remember what exactly happened at that time. Amid fragments of shattered memories, cruel moments of attacking someone haunt him.

Resigned in his confusion and unable to trust even his own memories, Go Jung Woo immediately returns to the scene of the incident, the warehouse, after coming out from prison, scouring for traces of that day.

Inspecting the place, his eyes catch a strange object. On the clothes, covered in mud and dust, remain the name tags that Go Jung Woo and his friends had worn long ago.

Go Jung Woo's eyes upon confirming the name on the name tag are filled with confusion, fear, and sadness. He is convinced, "It wasn't me. I didn't kill anyone." Will Go be able to claim innocence and uncover the true story of that day from 11 years ago?

Black Out will premiere on August 16. There is currently no news about the K-drama's global OTT service. Watch the teaser here.
