The Netflix series "Slowly, Intensely" will premiere on December 11.
"Slowly, Intensely" depicts the growth story of individuals who threw themselves into their pursuits, dreaming of brilliant success despite having nothing, set against the backdrop of the Korean entertainment industry in the 1960s to 1980s, an era dominated by barbarism and violence.
It features Min-ja (played by Song Hye-kyo), who had to do anything that paid money during her impoverished childhood before entering the record industry; Dong-gu (played by Gong Yoo), her childhood friend who stays by her side and races alongside her in pursuit of her dreams; Min-hee (played by Kim Seol-hyun), a bold character who advances toward success in her own way while becoming entangled with Min-ja in a relationship of love and hate; and Seok Gil-yeo (played by Cha Seung-won), the era's top composer capable of turning even rookie singers into the greatest stars. The story follows these characters as they race toward their own goals, overcoming hardships and adversity from the very bottom of life.
The poster released alongside the premiere date announcement captures attention by unfolding the lives of the characters in the work like a panorama centered around a turntable. From their difficult childhood endured together due to poverty, to Min-ja and Dong-gu as adults experiencing various jobs including working as waiters and growing into new "mojji" (managers), the images spark curiosity about what path they have walked and what challenges they will face in the future.
The sight of Min-hee singing with sparkling eyes and Seok Gil-yeo playing the saxophone with all his might builds anticipation for the special synergy the two will create through music. Additionally, Yang-ja (played by Lee Ha-nui), singing with a desperate yet lively expression, and Mal-soon (played by Na Moon-hee), whose gaze carries the joys and sorrows of past years, are added to heighten expectations for the diverse narratives woven by these distinct characters.
