PD Park Jun-woo, who directed "Scarecrow," and writer Lee Ji-hyun, who wrote the script, are teaming up once again.

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "Scarecrow," which concluded on the 26th, is a crime thriller drama depicting a detective investigating a serial murder case who unexpectedly forms an alliance with someone he despises, inspired by the Lee Chun-jae serial murder case.

Thanks to its solid direction, an absorbing script, and the passionate performances of the cast, "Scarecrow" concluded its run with a final episode viewership rating of 8.1 percent (based on Nielsen Korea's paid households nationwide), achieving a successful finale.

The drama, which has drawn attention, is a collaboration between Park Jun-woo, a PD who directed investigative programs such as SBS's "That Unknown Story" and "Curious Story Y" before moving on to direct dramas like "Model Taxi" and "Doctor Detective" on SBS, and Lee Ji-hyun, the writer of "Model Taxi" Season 1.

On the 27th, the day after the series concluded, an interview with "Scarecrow" PD Park Jun-woo and writer Lee Ji-hyun to commemorate the finale was held at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The writer stated, "Although it is not a 'Scarecrow' series, we have decided to work together on the next project."

PD Park hinted at the upcoming project, which the two are working on together, saying, "We plan to create a crime entertainment piece set in the early 2000s that viewers can enjoy more comfortably. The working title is 'Parakhho'," raising expectations.

This marks the third collaboration between PD Park and writer Lee, following their work on the 2021 series "Taxi Driver" Season 1 and "Scarecrow." Already, anticipation is building for the synergy they will demonstrate in their next project, as the duo has consistently captivated audiences with heartfelt genre works.
