Jo Jung Suk and Shin Sae Kyeong's "Captivating the King" Drops New Posters

tvN has unveiled two posters for its upcoming historical melodrama Captivating the King, starring Jo Jung Suk and Shin Sae Kyeong.

Jo Jung Suk portrays King Lee In, while Shin Se Kyung takes on the role of Kang Hee Soo, a spy seeking revenge against him. 

The posters showcase the striking appearances of Lee In (Jo Jung Suk) and Kang Hee Soo (Shin Sae Kyeong).

Through the veil, the true identity of Lee In and the disguised baduk player, Kang Hee Soo, is shown.

The blurry image of the veiled prince wearing a hat gradually becomes clearer. Whereas, the revealed part of the poster shows Jo Jung Suk as the stern King Lee In, captivating the audience with his piercing gaze and charismatic presence. Wearing a crimson robe, he exudes the charisma of a royal and seems to convey the loneliness and desolation of a king who, despite being in a high position, feels sad and weak.

On the other hand, the blurry image of the noblewoman disguised as a baduk player is shown, presenting Shin Sae Kyeong as the determined woman, Kang Hee Soo. Her captivating charm and gentle charisma portray her as a strong, beautiful woman. Her cold gaze as she looks at Lee In leaves audiences curious about her story. 

Captivating the King tells the story of King Lee In, embroiled in the peril of royal and political conflicts, and Kang Hee Soo, a spy, who approaches the king to get revenge. 

Captivating the King will premiere on January 21, 2024.
