First script reading for ENA’s Evilive
by tccolb
ENA’s Evilive (previously called Biography of a Villain) has kicked off their promo campaign, releasing footage from the drama’s first script reading with leads Shin Ha-kyun (Yonder), Kim Young-kwang (Call It Love), and Shin Jae-ha (Taxi Driver 2).
At the center of the noir is our rational and jobbing lawyer Han Dong-soo (Shin Ha-kyun), who sees prisons as a hive for potential clients and initiates visits to solicit his attorney services. But despite appearing harmless, Dong-soo’s inner tiger has been restless, and how can anyone resist Seo Do-young’s (Kim Young-kwang) offer to cross the boundary into his world?
It is, of course, a dangerous choice, as Do-young is the mob’s number two and we hear parts of his proposition in the script reading clips. Do-young menaces, saying, “Do you think I got to this position with just my fists?” and when Dong-soo is confused about why he was called here (Do-young’s court case is closed and will soon be released from prison), Do-young replies, “Did I ask you to defend a law case? I’m just bored…”
We then meet Shin Jae-ha as Dong-soo’s younger brother Han Beom-jae and while I dread a dark turn for his character (please spare my heart), it’s cute to see the two Shins wearing matching colors at the reading. While working at a used computer shop, Beom-jae also digs around for information and brokers cases for Dong-soo. Although mom Gil Hae-yeon (Can We Be Strangers) is worried about Dong-soo, Beom-jae encourages his brother to not be over cautious.
On the production side, PD Kim Jung-min (Remarriage & Desires, Bad Guys) and PD Kim Sung-min are co-directing, with scripts by Seo Hui and Lee Seung-hoon.
Premiering next month on October 14, Evilive will be airing in a new Saturday-Sunday slot on ENA.
