The exceptional chemistry between Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon has been revealed.

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Queen Mantis' (directed by Byun Young-joo, written by Lee Young-jong, planned by Studio S, produced by Merry Christmas, Megamonster, and Film Production Boim) has premiered. This high-intensity crime thriller, which follows the collaborative investigation between a serial killer mother and her detective son, has received critical acclaim and surpassed a 10% viewership rating just two episodes in.

Their performances, which capture both acting prowess and topicality, create a fiery synergy that sparks on screen.

Amidst this, a special photoshoot featuring the unique chemistry between Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon has been released by Dazed, drawing attention.

The professional expressions and poses of both actors combine to create a stylish atmosphere. In individual shots, they exude their unique charms, while in joint shots, they convey a sense of comfort and familiarity, leaving a lasting impression.

Despite being captured in fleeting moments, the seamless chemistry between Ko Hyun-jung and Jang Dong-yoon in the photos hints at the harmonious teamwork of the 'Queen Mantis' team. According to the production team, although the actors engage in emotionally demanding scenes whenever they meet on set, their mutual respect, strong rapport, and deep affection for the project and their characters result in high-quality scenes.

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Queen Mantis' airs every Friday at 9:50 PM and Saturday at 10 PM.
