Disney+ Unveils New K-drama Thriller for November
Mark your calendars: Disney+ has confirmed the release date for its highly anticipated Korean original series The Sculpture City (조각도시). The series premieres globally on November 5, kicking off with four episodes. A striking teaser poster featuring leading men Ji Changwook and EXO’s D.O. just amped up the hype.
A Vengeful Showdown Sparks Curiosity
In The Sculpture City, Ji Changwook plays Taejun, an ordinary man whose life is shattered after he’s falsely accused of a brutal crime. As he’s sent to prison, he discovers that the real mastermind behind his downfall is none other than Yohan—played by D.O. of EXO. What unfolds next? A pulse-pounding revenge plot filled with moral twists and full-throttle action.
Good Guy vs. First-Time Villain
The teaser poster captures the gritty tension between Taejun and Yohan. Taejun punches toward Yohan, fury in his eyes. Yohan, on the other hand, blocks it with a sly, almost sadistic smile. “He’s not someone you can underestimate,” says a fan already analyzing the poster frame by frame.
Known for his heartfelt roles, Ji Changwook dives deep into complexity here: a man fueled by injustice and transformation. D.O., usually the gentle type, steps into his first villain role—and we’re already terrified (in the best way). Chilly, calculated, and cold-blooded Yohan might just be D.O.’s breakout turn as a K-drama baddie.
Star Power + Genre Grit
Expect high-octane thrills and fresh pairings. Supporting actors like Kim Jongsoo, Jo Yoonsu, and Lee Kwangsoo bring serious acting firepower to the table. Add to that the visionary writing of Oh Sangho—who also penned Taxi Driver—and you’ve got a gritty survival-action series built for bingeing.
“It’s a revenge drama packed with stylish visuals and clever action sequences,” Ji Changwook shared during a press junket. D.O. chimed in, “The script had me hooked from the first page. I’m excited to see how the chase and racing scenes play out on screen.”
Launch Plan: Binge But Pace Yourself
Disney+ will roll out The Sculpture City starting with four episodes on November 5, and then will drop two new episodes each week, totaling 12 in all. The drip-feed format promises cliffhangers galore—and sleepless Wednesdays for global fans.
The Bottom Line?
If you loved twisted revenge plots like Revenge of Others or Taxi Driver, this one’s about to move to the top of your binge list. Ji Changwook and D.O. are set to ignite the small screen with stark intensity and stunning action. Who will come out on top—Taejun or Yohan?
The Sculpture City premieres November 5, only on Disney+.
