Kapanlagi.com - Netflix will soon bring the latest Korean sci-fi thriller series titled THE SILENT SEA, starring renowned actor Gong Yoo on December 24th.

Set in the future when the earth is running out of resources, this drakor follows the journey of an elite team on a mission to go to an abandoned research center on the moon.

Once they arrive there, various mysterious events continue to occur and one by one the team members start to fall. Interested in following it? Check out the following six things that make THE SILENT SEA worth anticipating!

1. Adaptation of a Attention-Grabbing Short Film

THE SILENT SEA is the result of an adaptation from director Choi Hang-yong's short film titled The Sea of Tranquility, which was created as his graduation work from college. This film also received a lot of attention at the 13th Mise-en-scene Short Film Festival in 2014.

Seeing the immense potential in this 37-minute film, executive producer Jung Woo-sung was interested in being involved in the process of turning it into a series. "I really like the spectacular ideas in this story. I really want to be involved in the making of a sci-fi series that specifically brings a Korean accent," he said.

Meanwhile, writer Park Eun-kyo commented that sci-fi is a challenging genre to work on, but Choi's short film impressed her. "The script is written so well and successfully arouses curiosity. This becomes motivation for me to bring something special to this series," she said.

2. Uncovering the Mystery

Without receiving complete information, an elite team is sent to the Balhae Moon Research Station, which has been closed for five years. Their goal is to find efforts for humans to survive. Unfortunately, they are faced with various mysterious deaths and this mission begins to change course.

Director Choi Hang-yong commented that revealing the mystery one by one makes this story more interesting. What secrets are actually hidden in the Balhae Moon Research Station?

3. The First Korean Series Set on the Moon

THE SILENT SEA is the first Korean sci-fi thriller series set on the moon. Director Choi said, "There are many films that depict outer space but none have presented various events that take place on the lunar surface. We hope to bring a deeper and broader story about humanity and the spirit to survive."

To accurately depict the lunar surface, the production staff studied data and images from NASA to create various backgrounds.

4. Impressive Set Design

Set on the moon, THE SILENT SEA promises unparalleled scenery. The deep silence on the moon and the emptiness surrounding it add to the suspenseful atmosphere.

To create a truly realistic impression, the Balhae Station was specially built for this series and LED full screens were used to recreate the outer space environment. According to director Choi, this series utilized five studios covering an area of approximately 8,300 square meters. This stunning and detailed visualization was developed over two years of pre-production and one year of post-production.

Actress Bae Doona also stated that Netflix's involvement allowed for the creation of such extraordinary sets.

5. Diverse Characters by Renowned Cast Members

The elite team members sent to the moon are played by a lineup of top Korean stars. Bae Doona portrays astrobiologist Song Jian, who is invited to participate in this mission but is determined to uncover what really happened at Balhae Station.

Fearless team leader Han Yunjae is played by Gong Yoo, a figure who is highly dedicated to his duties and always prioritizes the safety of his subordinates. Meanwhile, K-pop star Lee Joon plays chief engineer Ryu Taesuk, who is skilled and has a special relationship with Captain Han. Actress Kim Sun-young describes her character, Dr. Hong Gayoung, as a 'genius figure with unique Korean values'.

In addition, the calm and focused head of security, Gong Soohyuk, is portrayed by Lee Mu-saeng, while actor Lee Sung-wook plays the curious and outspoken pilot Kim Sun.

6. Strong Chemistry

Although the story is filled with tension, the atmosphere on the shooting location is colored by friendship and a strong chemistry. Gong Yoo said, "On average, our ages are similar and we have acting experience, so the chemistry can be established immediately."

Kim Sun-young also expressed a similar sentiment, saying, "The atmosphere on the shooting location is very enjoyable, especially thanks to the two main actors who are genuine, so we can do the same."

7. Praise for the Producer

Not only among the cast members, but praise is also directed towards the producer, Jung Woo-sung. "I have never felt such great attention from an executive producer. He is also a great actor, so he understands if there are parts that make the actors feel uncomfortable. He always takes care of us."

With such strong chemistry, The Silent Sea will surely present an extraordinary story. Don't miss the premiere of The Silent Sea on December 24th, only on Netflix!
