The horror drama 'M', which left a deep impression through actress Shim Eun-ha's "Green Eyes," is returning after 33 years.

On the 15th, TVING announced that its original drama 'M: Reboot' will be released next year.

'M: Reboot' (provided by TVING; produced by KT Studio Genie, Big Ocean ENM, and Slingshot Studio; directed by Im Dae-woong; written by Hong Eun-mi and Lee Jung-eun) is a horror thriller drama about the mysterious personality 'M' that awakens in the body of promising ballerina Marie (played by Jung Chae-yeon) and detective Ji-seok (played by Jung Geon-joo), who chases after green-colored afterimages, as they become entangled in bizarre incidents. The 1994 MBC drama 'M' (written by Lee Hong-gu) caused a sensation with its unconventional genre and subject matter, so there is great anticipation for the birth of 'M: Reboot,' which adds new sensibilities to the original's appeal.

Direction will be handled by director Im Dae-woong, who has demonstrated exceptional expertise in the horror thriller genre through films such as 'Teacher's Grace' and 'Scary Stories.' The screenplay is written by Hong Eun-mi, writer of the film 'Missing: The Hidden Girl,' and rookie writer Lee Jung-eun.

Additionally, the pairing of actors Jung Chae-yeon and Jung Geon-joo is generating expectations. Jung Chae-yeon takes on her first triple role as a promising high school student ballerina named 'Marie,' a brilliant surgeon named 'Jennie,' and the mysterious personality 'M.' 'Marie' is a ballet prodigy currently attending a preparatory academy, raised under a strict politician father and an obsessive mother. As Marie faces nightmares ahead of auditions for top ballet schools worldwide, the mysterious personality 'M' awakens within her, completely turning her life upside down. Another character played by Jung Chae-yeon, 'Jennie,' is a brilliant surgeon from America whose identity remains shrouded in mystery.

Jung Chae-yeon stated, "I am truly honored to be part of such an excellent work. Since this is also a new challenge for me, I believe it will be a project where I can learn and grow through study and experience." She added, "I was curious myself about what new side of me might emerge, and I feel excited and happy that I'll be able to show that through this work. I will strive to learn more and return with even greater growth." As Jung Chae-yeon continues to build her filmography while earning viewers' affection, attention is focused on the powerful transformation she will showcase in 'M: Reboot.'

Jung Geon-joo takes on the role of detective 'Ji-seok,' who pursues the truth behind mysterious incidents surrounding Jennie. Ji-seok, known for his quick judgment and persistent investigative skills, digs deep into the core of cases and is an ace detective trusted by his colleagues. After Jennie's appearance, inexplicable incidents continue to occur, and each time the unidentified green light appears, it forces Ji-seok to confront memories from that night ten years ago.

Jung Geon-joo shared, "I am excited and happy to greet you as Ji-seok in 'M: Reboot.' Since this is my first challenge in a detective role, I am preparing diligently. I will do my best to present a good impression, so please give us your interest and expectations."

Meanwhile, 'M: Reboot' will be released on TVING in 2027.
