The drama *Speaking Dead*, starring actor Han Suk-kyu, will be unveiled at the 30th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN), which runs from July 2 to July 12.
*Speaking Dead* follows the pursuit of the truth behind a case frozen in darkness over a decade ago, sparked by the confession of forensic pathologist Jang Jae-wook, who becomes the center of attention as a notorious terror suspect. The series stars Han Suk-kyu, Jung Yu-mi, Lee Hee-jun, Yeom Hye-ran, and Kim Jun-han.
*Speaking Dead* has been officially invited to the newly reorganized 'Fantascape' section of BIFAN, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The Fantascape section showcases a diverse range of fantastic cinema that presents new landscapes of genres, ranging from delightful comedies and sensory romances to ingenious fantasy.
Recognized by the festival for its gripping narrative and high production quality, *Speaking Dead* will make its domestic debut through the Fantascape section. Previously, when official ticket reservations for BIFAN opened on Thursday, June 25 at 2:00 PM, all 170 seats for *Speaking Dead* sold out within just five minutes.
Along with the news of its BIFAN invitation, the launch poster and trailer have also been released. The poster features characters who drive their respective cases from different angles: a forensic pathologist (Han Suk-kyu), a profiler (Jung Yu-mi), a prosecutor (Lee Hee-jun), an investigation chief (Yeom Hye-ran), and a military advocate (Kim Jun-han). Standing in the middle of Gwanghwamun where a chilly breeze can be felt, the characters, along with the phrase "The truth has been covered up," paradoxically show that the world-shaking incident is preparing to be unveiled piece by piece. In addition, a social affairs reporter (Ryu Hye-young) and the military advocate's lover (Kim Yu-mi) are set to play active roles in the main series.
Episodes 1 and 2 of *Speaking Dead* are scheduled to be screened together as a theatrical version on Saturday, July 11 at 1:00 PM in Theater 10 of CGV Sopung during BIFAN. Following the official screening, a Guest Visit (GV) talk session with the cast members will be held, which is expected to further heat up the excitement.
