Jung Woo-sung Produces, Bae Doo-na and Gong Yoo Star in 'Goyo-ui Bada' Released on December 24

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Isul] 'The Silent Sea' will unveil on Christmas Eve.

On the 22nd, the online streaming service (OTT) Netflix announced that the new series 'The Silent Sea' will be released on December 24.

'The Silent Sea' is a Netflix series depicting elite members on a special mission who head to an abandoned research base on the moon in the year 2075, when Earth's essential resources have been depleted and the planet has become desolate. The series stars actors Bae Doona, Gong Yoo, and Lee Joon.

The poster released that day captures space biologist Song Ji-an (Bae Doona) just stepping onto the lunar surface. The moon, still an unknown space to us, is where the exploration begins. Interest is focused on the story that will unfold at the abandoned and closed South Korean research base on the moon, a place about which much remains to be discovered.

Set against the backdrop of space, 'The Silent Sea' is a series adaptation of director Choi Hang-yong's short film of the same name, which received high praise at the 13th Mise-en-sc?ne Short Film Festival in 2014.

Actor Jung Woo-sung, who was captivated by the story and participated in the production, said, "I liked the sparkling ideas contained in the work. I thought it would be possible to try a Korean-style SF genre."

The script was written by writer Park Eun-kyo, who won the Korean Film Critics Association Award for Best Screenplay for 'Mother' and the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Screenplay for 'Miss Hongdangmu.'
