Netflix has just unveiled the trailer for its latest Korean drama, Parasyte: The Grey (2024). This gripping series draws inspiration from Hitoshi Iwaaki’s manga, which has already been adapted into both a drama and an anime. Now, the new Korean adaptation is set to premiere this year, featuring a talented cast including Jeon So Nee, Koo Gyo Hwan, Kwon Hae Hyo, and Kim In Kwon.
The plot revolves around Earth being invaded by alien creatures that infiltrate human bodies, taking control of their minds and turning them into predators. However, Jung Su In (Jeon So Nee) becomes an exception as the parasite fails to dominate her mind, leading to an unusual symbiotic relationship unlike any other seen before.
