Actors Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi will star together in SBS's new drama "Nightmare." This drama tells the story of a vigilante group that imprisons villains, who cannot be punished by law, not in a real prison but in nightmares. It is scheduled to premiere in 2027.

Kim Nam-gil plays Detective Kim Tae-i. Kim Tae-i is a character who returns to the Southern Police Station after a long undercover assignment; although his personality, speech, and lifestyle have all changed, his determination to catch villains remains unchanged. Using his animalistic instincts and wildness, he cooperates with the vigilante group that designs nightmares to pursue criminals. Kim Nam-gil has previously impressed viewers with his dark atmosphere and thrilling action in the series "Those Who Read Hearts of Evil" and "The Fiery Priest."

Lee Yoo-mi plays Jang Gyu-eun, a colleague of Kim Tae-i and a police officer specializing in victims at the Southern Police Station. Jang Gyu-eun is usually shy and timid but transforms into a completely different person in dreams. She appears in the dreams of villains who evade punishment, inflicting pain with a cruel and decadent persona. Lee Yoo-mi is expected to show a unique charm that shifts between a lovely smile and a deadly gaze.

The drama "Nightmare" depicts the process of Detective Kim Tae-i, who is more dangerous than gangsters, and the mysterious nightmare designer Jang Gyu-eun joining forces to make villains pay their rightful dues. The setting, where those who mock the law and commit evil acts are imprisoned in a "nightmare," promises intense suspense.

The production team stated, "Through the unique concept of punishing large criminals who cannot be confined in real prisons by imprisoning them in 'nightmares,' we aim to sound a warning to those who do not pay for their crimes. Please look forward to the acting synergy of Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi, who will vividly bring to life the special theme of cooperation between a detective and a nightmare designer."

The pairing of Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi has attracted great attention from viewers. Kim Nam-gil is a representative actor who has led dramas with his unique style across various genres, while Lee Yoo-mi has proven her acting skills by becoming the first Korean actor to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress. Their synergy is expected to enhance the drama's immersion.

The drama "Nightmare" is a work that unfolds the pursuit of justice by Kim Nam-gil and Lee Yoo-mi as they cross the boundaries between reality and dreams. It is set to premiere in 2027 and is expected to offer viewers a new form of justice narrative.
