And as interest in upcoming releases continues to grow, the highly anticipated new Kanta original, "Vampire Tutor" (36 episodes), will begin streaming on Friday, September 12th! Three visuals and a vertical trailer have also been unveiled for the first time.
The film begins with the shocking scene 20 years ago, when protagonist Mi-ho's (Ji-young) family was massacred after a certain incident. The perpetrators, a politician and his family, lived a comfortable and affluent life without ever being caught by the police. Mi-ho, who survived, becomes a vampire and vows to use her superhuman strength to exact revenge on the family. Mi-ho infiltrates the family as a tutor for the perpetrator's eldest son, Yoon-jae (Kim Sung-bin), and night after night, she waits for an opportunity to punish them. However, through her interactions with the kind-hearted Yoon-jae, Mi-ho gradually begins to regain her human emotions. Will she achieve her planned revenge on the perpetrator's family?
The newly released vertical trailer, as indicated by the caption "That day was the beginning of the end," exudes an ominous atmosphere as the curtain rises on this tragic tale of revenge. And don't miss the action-packed action scenes in which lead actress Ji-young transforms into a terrifying vampire! The film's unprecedented scale and human drama are sure to raise expectations even higher.
The role of Miho is played by Ji-young of KARA, the girl group known for driving the K-POP boom. She has appeared in a number of popular films, including the movie 'Assassination Classroom: Graduation' (2016) and the drama "Minna no Ouji" (2015), and has received acclaim across a variety of genres. In this film, she takes on the challenging role of a vampire tutor who develops special feelings for the son of an assailant. She brilliantly portrays the action of transforming into a vampire and her emotional acting, which is full of humanity.
Ji-young told her Japanese fans, "I find vampires very fascinating, so I'm really happy and excited to be playing the role of Miho. At the same time, I was worried about what kind of appeal I could show to the vampire. I hope everyone enjoys watching the film." Expectations are building for Ji-young's portrayal of the "vampire tutor"!
The role of Yoon-jae is played by up-and-coming young actor Kim Sung-bin. In recent years, he has appeared in numerous Korean dramas, including "Goblin Palace" (2025) and "The Legend of Mr. & Mrs. Ok: False Identity, True Life" (2024).
