The drama “M,” which aired in Korea in 1994, will be remade after 33 years. TVING original “M: Reboot” (written by Hong Eun-mi and Lee Jeong-un, directed by Im Dae-woong) is a horror thriller drama in which the mysterious personality “M,” which awakens in the body of Mari (former DIA member Chaeyeon), a ballerina who had been promising for the future, and detective Jisuk (Jung Gun-joo), who follows the afterimage of green light, become involved in strange incidents. “M,” which aired in 1994 as an MBC summer special drama, recorded an average viewership rating of 38.6% and a highest final-episode rating of 52.2%. In particular, Shim Eun-ha, who played the protagonist, shed her conventional pure image and showed a strong image transformation, gaining popularity. The direction is handled by director Im Dae-woong, who worked on “Bitch X Rich 2,” “Night Has Come,” and the films “The Teacher’s Sin” and “Horror Stories.” The script is written by Hong Eun-mi and Lee Jeong-un, the screenwriters of the films “Hidden Face” and “A Woman Is a Lie.” Chaeyeon will play three roles for the first time since her debut: Mari, a high school ballerina; the genius surgeon Jenny; and the mysterious personality “M.” Mari, who was troubled by nightmares ahead of an audition for a world-class ballet school, has her life turned upside down when “M” awakens from within her body. Another character played by Chaeyeon, Jenny, is a genius surgeon from the United States, and her true identity is shrouded in mystery. Chaeyeon said, “I am truly honored to be able to participate in such a wonderful work. Since it is also a new challenge for me, I think it is a work that will help me grow one step further as I study and gain experience,” and added, “I was also curious about what new sides of myself there are, and I am excited and happy that I seem able to show those sides through this work. I want to learn a lot and meet you again with an even more grown-up side.” Jung Gun-joo plays detective Jisuk, who tracks the mysterious incidents surrounding Jenny. Jisuk is an ace detective equipped with quick judgment and investigative ability. Since Jenny’s appearance, incidents have occurred one after another, and while chasing the unidentified green light that appears each time, he faces memories from 10 years ago. Jung Gun-joo said, “I am thrilled and happy to greet you as Jisuk in ‘M: Reboot,’” and added, “Since this is my first time challenging a detective role, I am preparing hard. I am doing my best so that I can show you a good side, so please give it a lot of interest and anticipation.” “M: Reboot” will be released on Korea’s TVING in 2027.
