On the 20th, the first teaser video for SBS' new Thursday drama 'National Death Penalty Vote' was released. Park Hae-jin (played by Kim Moo-chan), Park Sung-woong (played by Kwon Seok-joo), and Lim Ji-yeon (played by Joo-hyeon), as well as the extraordinary transformation of the three main characters, as well as the novel and shocking setting of the national death penalty vote, were impactfully shown, raising expectations for this drama.
SBS's new Thursday drama 'National Death Penalty Vote', which will be broadcast for the first time on August 10th, is a public participation judgment drama depicting the story of tracing the death penalty of an unknown person who carries out a national death penalty vote on vicious criminals and executes them. It is foreshadowing a hard-boiled chase thriller that will provide extreme catharsis, and is gathering keen interest and expectations even before the broadcast.
The first teaser video for 'National Death Penalty Vote' begins with a half-naked man tied up in a mysterious place. In the play, police officers Park Hae-jin and Lim Ji-yeon are shown tracking something with meaningful expressions. At this time, the subtitles 'There are guilty but innocent devils in the world' appear sequentially on the screen, arousing curiosity. It is speculated that this refers to the vicious criminals who escaped the law, pursued by Gaetal in the play.
And along with the judge's 'acquittal' towards someone, Park Seong-woong crying out desperately appears. Lim Ji-yeon said, “Who the hell are you? Innocent demons” is a meaningful question. After a while, the demons who are guilty but not guilty, the last chance to punish them, the death penalty vote is implied. The death penalty message arrived on the smartphones of people living ordinary lives. While everyone is puzzled by the sudden message, a person represented by an innocent devil arrogantly shouts, “If you can kill it, kill it!”
From this point on, the screen quickly intersects with images of Gaetal who carried out the national death penalty vote, Haejin Park, Seongwoong Park, Jiyeon Lim, and people in chaos chasing after Gaetal. The tension that soared at once peaked at the interrogative subtitle, "Kill or save, what is your choice?" Then, the short but powerful first teaser video ends with the logo of SBS' new Thursday drama 'National Death Penalty Vote', which appears as if giving an answer to that choice.
The first teaser of 'National Death Penalty Vote' clearly showed the identity of the drama by intuitively expressing the shocking setting of the national death penalty vote that cannot and should not exist in reality. In addition, through the scenes that change quickly, the tension and thrill, which are the beauty of the chase thriller genre, were also presented. Above all, the extraordinary transformation and acting skills of Park Hae-jin, Park Sung-woong, and Lim Ji-yeon, who shine even in cut-cutting videos, aroused admiration.
