New Delhi: Among the forthcoming South Korean original thriller series on Netflix, The Bequeathed is set to premiere next. Revealing secrets, unsettling rituals, masked individuals, and killings make up the show’s fascinating and sinister concept.
The Bequeathed is based on a popular webtoon by Kang Tae Kyung and was co-written by Yeon Sang-Ho (known for Hellbound and Train to Busan), Hwang Eun Young, and series director Min Hong Nam.
Plot Synopsis
The protagonist, Yoon Seo Ha, is beset with grief after her uncle dies and leaves her at the family graveyard. The complex’s perilous situation becomes even worse when her half-brother, Kim Young Ho, shows up out of the blue. While she is grieving, Young Ho contacts her to lay claim to an inheritance portion. This sets in motion a chain reaction of dark events, including sophisticated deaths.
Trailer
The narrative revolves around the protagonist Yoon Seo Ha’s family burial place, as seen in the previous trailer. While attending the burial, a bewildered and distraught Seo Ha is confronted with yet another unexpected turn of events.
As the investigation continues, the cloud over her uncle’s death and the burial site starts to lift, adding to the mystery. The fate of the burial grounds hangs in the balance as detectives Choi Seong Jun and Park Sang Min dash against the clock to uncover the truth and apprehend the killer.
Release Date and Platform
It is anticipated that The Bequeathed will be available on Netflix on January 19, 2024. One of the teaser trailers was released earlier in December 2023, while the official trailer was released not too long ago on January 4, 2024.
