Netflix has set a December 11th premiere for Tantara, its upcoming period drama starring Song Hye Kyo, Gong Yoo, Seolhyun and Cha Seung Won, alongside a new release-date poster.
Set in Korea’s entertainment industry from the 1960s through the 1980s, the series follows people from impoverished backgrounds who risk everything to pursue success in a ruthless industry.
Song plays Min Ja, a woman who grows up in poverty and eventually enters the music business, while Gong stars as Dong Gu, her childhood friend who stays by her side and supports her ambitions.
Seolhyun plays Min Hui, an ambitious young woman determined to succeed on her own terms who shares a complicated love-hate relationship with Min Ja. Cha portrays Gil Yeo, a celebrated composer known for turning aspiring singers into stars.
The newly released poster centers on a turntable, with scenes from the characters’ lives unfolding around it. It shows Min Ja and Dong Gu struggling through childhood poverty before taking on various jobs, including waiting tables, and eventually entering the entertainment industry as rookie managers.
Other scenes feature Min Hui singing, Gil Yeo playing the saxophone, Yang Ja (Lee Ha Nee) performing onstage and Mal Sun (Na Moon Hee), an older woman whose experiences span the changing decades.
Tantara is written by No Hui Gyoung, known for Our Blues and Dear My Friends, and directed by Lee Yoon Jung, whose credits include Coffee Prince and Cheese in the Trap.
The series premieres globally on Netflix on December 11th.
