”Mantis” actresses Ko Hyun Jung and Jang Dong-yoon, a devastating combination that will make the drama a hot topic with their acting skills

SBS's new Fri-Sat TV series "Mantis: Killer Outing" teased the ever-changing synergy between Ko Hyun Jung and Jang Dong-yoon, who have a one-of-a-kind relationship.
This work is about a crime that imitates the serial killer "Praying Mantis" who was arrested over 20 years ago, and a detective who has hated him for his life to solve the case.
It is a high-density crime thriller in which the protagonist unexpectedly cooperates with her biological mother, a praying mantis. Director Byun Young-ji of "The Fire Train" and writer Lee Young-ji of "Spring in Seoul" have hit it off and are working together to create a well-rounded story.
The TV series is expected to be the birth of a new genre of drama. It revolves around the story of a serial killer mother and her detective son, who clash violently in their different worldviews, far removed from maternal love.
Ko Hyun Jung plays the mysterious and bizarre role of Jeong Yi Shin, a murderer whose true intentions are unknown, while Jang Dong-yoon plays the detective Cha Soo-yeol, who faces off against the mother he has hated all his life, with a strong character.
The two actors' extraordinary acting transformations and scenes of emotional conflict are expected to create extreme tension. The production staff said, "The relationship between the mother of a serial killer and her son who is a detective is the key to the story.
"Ko Hyun Jung and Jang Dong-yoon showed chemistry and detailed acting that exceeded expectations. They were considerate of each other on set and created the best scenes."
The unimaginable synergy created by Ko Hyun Jung and Jang Dong-yoon can be seen on the first broadcast starting at 9:50 PM on the 5th of next month.
