Fantasy Thriller 'S-Line' Unveils Hidden Desires and Truths

What if you could suddenly see into the most private aspects of others' lives? 'S-Line' explores this intriguing concept, where individuals can see a red line, known as the S-Line, connecting those who have had intimate relationships.

On the 7th, a press conference for the Wavve original drama 'S-Line' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. Attendees included actors Lee Soo-hyuk, Lee Da-hee, Arin, Lee Eun-sam, and director Ahn Joo-young.

'S-Line' is a fantasy thriller drama that reveals hidden truths and forbidden desires as the red line connecting those with intimate relationships becomes visible.

Actor Lee Soo-hyuk plays 'Ji-wook,' a detective pursuing the truth behind the S-Line. Lee Da-hee portrays 'Kyu-jin,' a high school teacher with a mysterious aura behind her warm smile. Arin, a member of Oh My Girl and an actress, plays 'Hyun-heup,' a girl who has been able to see the S-Line since birth. Lee Eun-sam plays 'Sun-ah,' Ji-wook's niece and Hyun-heup's classmate.

When asked why he chose the role, Lee Soo-hyuk said, "I was excited to read the script because it allowed me to show a different charm from my previous roles. I decided to take on the role because I felt I could showcase something new."

He added, "I was curious about how the S-Line, which is prevalent in Ji-wook's setting, would be portrayed. During the script reading, my fellow actors performed so well that I felt I just needed to do my part well."

Lee Soo-hyuk also shared, "I was initially taken aback by the provocative nature of the title. I thought a lot about how to portray the character and the story, considering how people's behavior changes when private or hidden aspects are revealed."

Lee Da-hee commented, "I filmed a lot with Arin and Eun-sam, but not as much with Lee Soo-hyuk, so it felt like it ended quickly. I thought Lee Soo-hyuk had a glamorous image, but on set, he embodied Ji-wook so well that it felt like he was Ji-wook himself."

She continued, "I've seen Arin perform on stage many times. Seeing her as Hyun-heup on set was moving. She truly seemed like an actress now. Eun-sam, whom I've seen outside of work, transformed on set. Her eyes changed the moment the camera rolled, and I realized she was no ordinary talent. Everyone was so professional that I felt I just needed to do my part well."

'S-Line' received critical acclaim, winning the 'Best Music' award at the 8th Cannes International Series Festival in April.

When asked about winning at Cannes, Lee Soo-hyuk said, "One night, I received a text from the director saying they were going to Cannes. I thought it was for another project, but then I was told I had to go too. Even on the plane, it felt unreal. Seeing so many industry professionals and international actors and directors was unbelievable."

He added, "I wasn't prepared for such a big event. After returning, my affection for the project grew, and I felt a strong desire to share it soon. Winning the award was exhilarating and felt surreal."

The Wavve original drama 'S-Line' will release two episodes each on July 11th, July 18th, and July 25th.
