Yoo Ji-tae, Lee Bum-soo, and Lee Min-jung Become Villains... Tving Original 'Villains' to Premiere on December 18

Yoo Ji-tae, Lee Bum-soo, and Lee Min-jung become villains hiding different desires.

The Tving original 〈Villains〉 set to premiere on December 18 revealed a striking teaser poster on the 28th. 〈Villains〉 will be released simultaneously in the Asia-Pacific region and Japan through global streaming services, including Korea, depicting a super crime action story about the bloody clashes and confrontations of villains surrounding ultra-precise counterfeit supernotes.

In 〈Villains〉, those who try to exchange counterfeit money for real money and the 'strong' ones who want to take back the money they exchanged engage in an unpredictable brain game filled with excitement. Directed by Jin Hyuk, who has created success stories with every work he directs, including 〈Sisyphus〉, 〈The Legend of the Blue Sea〉, and 〈The Sun's Owner〉, and written by Kim Hyung-jun, who directed the crime thriller film 〈No Forgiveness〉, this project promises the birth of a crime action piece of a different dimension. Notably, trusted actors like Yoo Ji-tae and Lee Min-jung elevate the genre's thrill.

Yoo Ji-tae plays the role of a genius criminal planner with a 100% win rate, known by the codename 'J'. He is the one who set the stage for desire by orchestrating the 'Casino Dealer Counterfeit Money Incident' that turned the world upside down. Lee Bum-soo passionately portrays 'Cha Ki-tae', the former head of the National Intelligence Service's financial crime team. Having lost everything due to the past 'Casino Counterfeit Money Incident', he begins a relentless pursuit to catch the re-emerging counterfeit money and the elusive planner 'J'. Attention is also drawn to Lee Min-jung's intense transformation as 'Han Soo-hyun', the best banknote design artist. After an incident that turned her life upside down, she waits for the moment of retribution and dives into a fierce whirlwind to turn the tables.

Meanwhile, the Tving original 〈Villains〉 will be available on Tving on December 18 (Thursday) and will also be released simultaneously in 17 countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific through HBO Max and in Japan through Disney+.
