SBS’s upcoming drama “Queen Mantis” has unveiled two intriguing new posters!
A remake of the French series “La Mante,” “Queen Mantis” is a crime thriller starring Go Hyun Jung as Jung Yi Shin, a famous serial killer nicknamed “The Mantis” who brutally murdered five men 20 years ago and has been imprisoned ever since. When a new serial killer emerges, copying The Mantis’s distinctive style, the police approach Jung Yi Shin for her assistance in solving the case. Jang Dong Yoon plays detective Cha Soo Yeol, who must work alongside his mother Jung Yi Shin, whom he has despised his entire life.
In the newly released posters, which evoke the familiar “Pietà,” Jung Yi Shin and Cha Soo Yeol are shown together as a single beam of light cuts through the darkness. Jung Yi Shin’s vacant gaze may seem emotionless at first, but a closer look reveals a deep sorrow that feels almost unbearable. Meanwhile, Cha Soo Yeol rests his head on her knee, his eyes full of desperation.
In the first poster’s tagline, Cha Soo Yeol tells his serial killer mother sardonically, “Your hands—the ones that killed five people—are so warm.”
In the second, Cha Soo Yeol desperately pleads, “Please help me. I’ll think like you, and I’ll act like you.”
“Queen Mantis” premieres on September 5 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
