New Drama “The Killing Vote”: Lim Ji Yeon Raises Expectations for Another Transformation with Glasses and Wavy Hair
The first still cuts of SBS upcoming thriller drama “The Killing Vote” have been unveiled.
SBS’s new Thursday drama “The Killing Vote” is set to premiere on Thursday, August 10th at 9 p.m KST. “The Killing Vote” is a drama that depicts the story of tracking down the unidentified culprits who conduct a nationwide death penalty vote and execute the death penalty. As a hard-boiled investigative thriller from SBS, “The Killing Vote” draws high expectations.
“The Killing Vote” is based on a popular webtoon of the same name that has accumulated over 130 million views on KakaoWebtoon and KakaoPage. When the news of the drama adaptation of “The Killing Vote” was first announced, it received positive response from fans of the original webtoon.
The premise of “determining someone’s execution through a national vote” left a deep impression and sparked curiosity. In particular, in “The Killing Vote,” the fact that the person who becomes the subject of the death penalty is identified as a heinous criminal adds further interest.
In reality, there are many heinous criminals who have cunningly evaded the law. We sometimes explode in anger while listening to news related to them and empathize with the pain of the victims and their families.
Based on a creative imagination, “The Killing Vote” poses the question, “What if I had the power to decide the life or death of these heinous criminals who have escaped the judgment of the law?“
The nationwide death penalty vote itself is a fantasy setting that is impossible and should never exist in reality. Therefore, “The Killing Vote” can provide viewers with a stronger sense of vicarious satisfaction and catharsis.
As viewers become emotionally invested in the drama, they will also ponder the weighty question of “What is true justice?” This is why “The Killing Vote” stands out from the ordinary, predictable dramas that focus on simple satisfaction.
In order for viewers to immerse themselves in the shocking and unrealistic setting, the acting skills of the cast must make it feel more real than reality itself. The drama brought together the strongest actors of all generations, including Park Sung Woong, Park Hae Jin, Lim Ji Yeon, and more.
SBS’s new Thursday drama, “The Killing Vote,” will begin with a two-episode premiere on Thursday, August 10th at 9 p.m. KST, followed by a single episode every Thursday night at 9 p.m. KST. The production team of “The Killing Vote” is known for its works such as “Winter Sonata,” “The Moon Embracing the Sun,” “Doctors,” “When the Camellia Blooms,” “Youth Records,” and “Racket Boys.”
