- Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yu-mi will meet at the small screen next year with "Nightmare."

Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yu-mi met.
Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi will meet in SBS' new drama "Nightmare" (directed by Ethan, scripted by Kim Kyu-won, production studio S, AtoZ), which will premiere next year. "Nightmare" is a drama about the realization of fantastic justice for vigilantes who lock up evil people who cannot be punished by law in nightmares, not prisons, and those who cross the boundaries between dreams and reality.
Kim Nam-gil plays detective Kim Tae-i. Detective Kim Tae-yi, who returned to the South after a long undercover life, has changed his personality, speech and lifestyle, but his determination to catch the villain has not changed. He joins hands with vigilantes who design nightmares with animal senses and wild beauty to catch the evil. Attention is focusing on how Kim Nam-gil will portray Kim Tae-yi's character as he has captivated viewers by freely playing dark atmospheres to exhilarating actions such as "The People Who Read the Heart of Evil" and "The Fiery Priest" series.
Kim Tae-i's co-worker and Jang Kyu-eun, a police officer in charge of victims in the south, is played by Lee Yu-mi. Jang Kyu-eun, who is shy and timid, transforms into a 180-degree different person in her dreams. Appearing in the dreams of the wicked who do not pay for their sins with a brutal and decadent face, he causes terrible pain. As Jang Kyu-eun, a mysterious nightmare designer whose reality and dreams are different, attention is focused on Lee Yoo-mi's transformation, which will show a different twist in her adorable smile and fatal eyes.
"The Nightmare" will show detective Kim Tae-i, who is more dangerous than a gangster, and mysterious nightmare architect Jang Kyu-eun joining forces to make the musicians who are cleverly avoiding punishment of the law pay the proper price for their crimes. Curiosity grows over the story of Kim Tae-i and Jang Kyu-eun, who will lock those who commit all kinds of evil acts in a prison called "nightmare" and give them hell they can't escape until they die.
The chemistry between Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi, who will write the story of Kim Tae-i and Jang Kyu-eun's justice, is also drawing attention. Regardless of the genre, attention is focusing on the synergy that Kim Nam-gil, the representative of "Trust Bo-bae" who leads the play with his own color, and Lee Yoo-mi, who proved her acting skills by winning the Emmy Award as the first Korean actor to win the Best Actress Guest Award, will meet as colleagues in "Nightmare."
The production team of "Nightmare" said, "We want to raise the alarm for those who do not pay the price of sin through the unique setting of condemning large criminals who cannot be locked up in a real prison as "nightmare," and added, "Please look forward to the combination of actors Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi's acting, who will immerse yourself in the special subject of cooperation between detectives and nightmare designers."
SBS' new drama "Nightmare" will premiere in 2027.
