Netflix has officially confirmed the production of its new series Beauty in the Beast (working title) and unveiled a fresh, young cast lineup featuring Kim Min Ju, Lomon and Moon Sang Min.
The series follows Min Su, a young woman living with a secret that she is a werewolf. She is thrust into an unfamiliar world upon entering college after spending years suppressing her emotions to prevent a transformation. Min Su must now navigate a tumultuous campus life unlike anything she has ever known, despite being trained from a young age on how to blend in.
The show is directed by Jin Hyeok, known for hits like The Legend of the Blue Sea and Sisyphus: The Myth. The script is penned by Jin Han Sae, the writer behind the acclaimed Netflix series Extracurricular and Glitch. Production will be handled by Studio 329, the company behind Extracurricular.
Kim Min Ju takes on the lead role of Ha Min Su. Known for her diverse charms in Undercover High School and Connection, Kim will play a girl who must constantly suppress herself to hide her secret identity. Despite this, Min Su is a curious soul with many desires and dreams of living an ordinary life.
Moon Sang Min, who has been building a solid filmography with dramas like Wedding Impossible and Under the Queen’s Umbrella, will portray Hae Jun. He is Min Su’s university senior who initially comes off as intimidating with his sharp gaze, but is actually known for his gentle and kind demeanor. Although he usually shows no interest in others, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Min Su’s strange behavior.
Lomon, a rising star from All of Us Are Dead and Branding in Seongsu, will star as Do Ha, a free-spirited werewolf. Unlike Min Su, Do Ha acts without hesitation when he wants something. He finds Min Su’s suppressed nature both frustrating and strangely captivating.
Beauty in the Beast will be released exclusively on Netflix.
