Netflix has released a new trailer fan poster for Mr. Plankton, an upcoming South Korean romantic comedy starring Woo Do-hwan (Bloodhounds, The Divine Fury) as Hae-Jo and Lee Yoo-mi (Strong Girl Nam-soon, Squid Game) as Jae-mi. The exhilarating trailer previews Hae-Jo and Jae-mi's quirky romance as well as their obstacle: Eo Heung, Jae-mi’s adoring husband-to-be, played by the talented Oh Jung-se.
The second trailer begins with Hae-jo crashing Jae-mi's wedding and entering the venue like a hero on his motorcycle. The narrator describes his reckless personality as he slaps the groom and goes on his way while a gang of men chase him. The trailer transitions to Jae-mi who has some strong feelings towards motherhood, but she is suffering from menopause.
Eo Heung, who's in love with Jae-mi, appears, and it looks like he's chasing after her. Then we see Jae-mi getting ready to wed Eo Heung, but Hae-jo suddenly shows up to "kidnap" her from the venue. He asks her to join him in his final road trip to find his father. The trailer then goes on to show various moments of the two going through tough obstacles and hilarious adventures while getting a reality check of their unfortunate circumstances and developing an unexpected romance. Watch the new trailer for Mr. Plankton below:
The K-drama series, which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on November 8, is directed by Hong Jong-chan (Juvenile Justice) and written by Jo Yong (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay). The new poster features the three main stars front and center, with the supporting cast seen in the background.
What is Mr. Plankton about?
Mr. Plankton is set to follow the final days of a man named Hae-Jo, who's described to be a "a man born from a mistake", as he searches for his biological father. Jae-mi inadvertently accompanies him on his last days. Based on the trailer, it looks like their journey will begin in the morning of her wedding to another man named Eo Heung. Netlfix's brief description for Mr. Plankton reads: "A drifting soul, a stolen bride, and one last ride. Seriously, what could go wrong?".
Who are the cast of Mr. Plankton?
Other than Woo Do-hwan and Lee Yoo-mi, we can expect veteran actress Kim Hae-sook, who starred in Strong-Girl Nam-Soon with Lee You-mi last year, reunite with her former co-star in Mr. Plankton. She previously starred in Gyeongseong Creature, My Demon, Revenant, and Start-Up.
Ahn Suk-hwan (The Uncanny Counter) will play the biological father of Hae-jo while Kim Min-seok (Descendants of the Sun, Lovestruck in the City) is also confirmed to appear but details about his role are still being kept under wraps.
