KBS2 TV's new drama, with the working title "Zombie Detective," shares images of official cast member's first-ever script reading!  

This chilling yet hilarious series emphasizes black comedy, which will tell a story about a zombie at his second-year resurrection. As he tries to co-exist with human beings, this zombie chooses to become a detective to figure out what happened to him in the past.

The series will be produced by two departments, who also produced famous dramas such as "The Producers" back in 2015 and "Go Back Couple" from 2017. It will also be directed by Director Shim Jae Hyun, who was also the co-director of "The Producers." Joining him is scriptwriter Baek Eun Jin.

Recently, the cast and crew held their first script reading. Director Shim Jae Hyun started the session by saying his gratitude to everyone who came. He says that he will do his best to make the most precious memories so that they all can look back on it. He ends his introductory speech with a joke saying that by the end of filming, he hopes that they will successfully finish it without getting bitten by zombies.

She will absolutely do her best to portray her role.
