Curtain Call Drama Info
'Curtain Call' is one of the most anticipated dramas among the dramas scheduled to air on 31 October 2022, and the newly released teaser alone is raising viewers' expectations.
The first teaser for the upcoming drama “Curtain Call” has been released, and it looks like we’re in for a suspenseful ride. In the trailer, the actors' fascinating acting skills stand out, giving a glimpse of the epic story that will unfold in the future, along with scenes that move quickly between the past and the present.
Ja Geum Soon, who seems to recall memories of the past, looks at the frame and suddenly leads to the past in which a man and a woman (Kang Ha-neul, Ha Ji-won) are chased by something. Their lives just stop suddenly and look at each other affectionately.
Soon after, a scene shows the man (Kang Ha Neul) wearing a North Korean military uniform as he shouts, "Democratic People's Republic of Korea!" Tensions rise as the gunshots startle, only making viewers feel comfortable but slightly confused when a mysterious man (Sung Dong Il) asks Yoo Jae Heon, "Do you want to play with me?"
Finally, Yoo Jae Heon can be heard saying to Ja Geum Soon, “After seeing you off, I have to go back to where you belong. While I'm here, use me". The teaser ends with the drama title seen through a waving curtain, reminiscent of a real Curtaincall signaling the end of the show.
