South Korea's entertainment industry is known for producing truly epic, genre-bending shows, and Netflix's Gyeongseong Creature is no different. Set in Japanese-occupied Seoul (then called Gyeongseong) in the spring of 1945, the historical K-drama takes inspiration from real-life historical events to tell a supernatural horror story that centers on a mysterious, deadly creature. Itaewon Class and The Marvels star Park Seo-joon plays Jang Tae-sang, a wealthy pawn shop owner known as "Mr. Omniscient" who is tasked with finding the missing Korean courtesan of a Japanese general. For the task, he teams up with sleuth Yoon Chae-ok (My Name's Han So-hee), who has arrived in Gyeongseong in search of her missing mother. The pair's search for the missing woman leads them to a hospital where the Japanese military is conducting sadistic, monstrous experiments on the people of Korea.
Season 1 of Gyeongseong Creature—which premiered in two parts on December 22, 2023, and January 5, 2024—is packed to the brim with heart-wrenching plots, from Chae-ok's search for her mother to Tae-sang and Chae-ok's star-crossed romance to the discovering the titular creature's identity. By the time the 10-episode season ends, the show has set up plenty of cliffhangers for what Tae-sang and Chae-ok could face in the second season... and then the post-credits scene adds another truly mind-bending twist. Read on for what we know so far about Gyeongseong Creature season 2.
