Brought to you from the director of mega-hits Train to Busan and Hellbound, Yeon Sang Ho, Netflix's new drama, The Bequeathed, merges horror and family. In an interview with The Korean Herald, Yeon Sang Ho stated, "I found the idea of using family grave sites as a theme for a drama series intriguing. (With such a topic), I thought about what kind of story could unfold. Since family grave sites are undoubtedly associated with family, I felt that the central theme (of the drama series) should revolve around the story of a family."

Yeon Sang Ho explained in the interview that the global audience might find it difficult to understand the Korean tradition of bequeathing (leaving a will) family graves to relatives. However, with the drama revolving around the concept of family, he is sure that everyone will be able to relate in that regard.


Star veteran actors to match a star director

By casting veteran star actors from their previous suspense/thriller Trolley (2023), Netflix has assured themselves with another hit series! Kim Hyun Joo and Park Hee Soon are no strangers to the suspense/thriller genre as Trolley also took viewers in on a wild rollercoaster of emotions, twists and turns, and a surprise ending that had us hooked!


Sketchy characters galore!

In the midst of inheriting her family's grave site, Yoon Seo Ha gets tangled in a wave of questionable characters. From the private detective she hired to follow her cheating husband to her actual husband (who seems to be taking advantage of her kindness) to the professor she currently works for!
