The police hunt for Wi Ha-jun in new ‘The Worst of Evil’ trailer
Disney+ has released a brand-new trailer for its upcoming crime K-drama The Worst of Evil, starring Squid Game’s Wi Ha-jun and Ji Chang-wook of Suspicious Partner fame.
Set in 1990s Seoul, The Worst of Evil follows police officer Park Jun-mo (played by Ji Chang-wook), who goes undercover to infiltrate a notorious crime organisation pushing a new drug in nightclubs.
However, he discovers that his wife, Yoo Eui-jeong (The Empire’s Im Se-mi), has volunteered for the same undercover assignment, and shares history with the gang’s leader Jung Gi-cheol (played by Wi Ha-jun).
The upcoming series will also star singer BIBI, Woo Kang-min (Big Bet), Han Yi-jin (Blind) and Im Sung-jae (D.P. season two). The Worst of Evil is directed by Han Dong-wook and written by Jang Min-seok.
The new trailer for The Worst of Evil opens with Jun-mo accepting his new mission, going undercover to work for Gi-cheol. We see how Jun-mo slowly gains the trust of Gi-cheol though a series of unscrupulous deeds.
The Worst of Evil will premiere September 27 on Disney+ with its first three episodes. The series will comprise a total of 12 episodes, and will air two episodes every week after its premiere until its three-episode finale.
Also premiering in September is the second season of Arthdal Chronicles, which will also be available on Disney+ after airing on tvN. The new season is set a decade after the 2019 series, and stars Lee Joon-gi and Shin Se-kyung as the older versions of original leads Song Joong-ki and Kim Ji-won.
