With its premiere just around the corner, ENA’s upcoming drama “The Defects” has sharedsp three key reasons to tune in!
Based on a popular webtoon, “The Defects” is an action thriller about children who have been abandoned by their adoptive parents—and their fight for survival and revenge.
Here are three points to watch out for:
1. A bold and original setting
“The Defects” is adapted from an award-winning webtoon that took home the Top Creative Award at the 2017 SPP International Content Market Webtoon Awards. The drama boldly explores a chilling, previously untouched premise in K-dramas: an illegal adoption market where children can be “returned” if deemed unwanted. This shocking premise offers a unique and compelling backdrop that promises to captivate viewers.
2. Unexpected twists and unrelenting tension
Each episode brings gripping tension and unexpected developments as the drama tackles uncomfortable social taboos head-on. A fierce power struggle will unfold between Kim Se Hee (Yum Jung Ah), a woman willing to cross ethical lines, and Kim Ah Hyun (Won Jin Ah), a child who was returned at a young age. Their unpredictable conflict will keep viewers fully immersed in the story.
3. A strong cast and powerful chemistry
With a cast that blends seasoned veterans and rising stars, “The Defects” promises powerful performances and emotional depth. Yum Jung Ah, Won Jin Ah, and Choi Young Joon bring their proven acting chops, while newcomer Dex steps into a key role alongside emerging actors portraying the abandoned children. The synergy among these actors is expected to deliver a compelling viewing experience.
The production team shared their excitement for the premiere, commenting, “We’re very much looking forward to seeing how this brave thriller, which faces reality head-on, will connect with audiences. From the very first episode, we’ve prepared an intense storyline that will completely defy viewers’ expectations.”
“The Defects” is set to premiere on July 21 at 10 p.m. KST.
