SEOUL, July 29 (Yonhap) – KakaoTV predicted its first airing of the original series “The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim” on the 29th.
This exorcism genre is about Ga Doo-shim, a shaman girl born with an unwilling destiny and Woo-soo, a boy who happens to see ghosts, solving the school’s mysteries together to safely pass the age 18.
Actress Kim Sae-ron, acting for the title-role, introduced Ga Doo-shim, “a brave and confident girl, denying her destined life as a shaman which has been descended for 3 generations, and trying to seize her own life” on an online production announcement.
She also added, “though its main subject was shamanism, shaman but after reading the script for the first time, I thought the drama was rather about humanism. And I wanted to find out how this brave and truthful Doo-shim would fight off the evil ghosts.”
Kim, who once acted as a child actress, is now getting into school uniforms again after a long time. “I still feel comfortable with the uniforms”, and with a smile, “I have worn them many times so there wasn’t any awkwardness during shooting”, said Kim.
The hardest part for her was “fighting against figureless enemies. Because I had to fight off the evil ghosts, there were a lot of actions than expected”, and she explained, “I acted wishing for the whole procedure of this cold character opening up her mind through Woo-soo to be well expressed in a rather short time.”
Kim’s partner actor Nam Da-reum commented that, “the plot was attractive in that an exotic and unfamiliar evil ghosts appear at a school which is a familiar and friendly place” and “also, I can show the viewers a new me through the character Woo-soo.”
He added, “on the day we were shooting the scene where Doo-shim’s grandmother ghost comes to us, the frame on the back of the classroom suddenly fell which gave all of us a shudder, and we thought maybe the grandmother’s ghost has really entered to room” and he wished the grandmother ghost for the drama’s ‘hit’.
“I produced the drama hoping that the watchers would realize that we are all someone who can live with his or her own special strength other than studying”, and “While providing various entertainments I also wanted to portrait many lives too. Anyone can identify with the story since it is about the growth of the teenagers. We hope for producing season 2, if possible”, said Park Ho-jin PD, in charge of directing.
Apart from Kim and Nam, in the drama appears Moon Sung-keun, Yoo Seon-ho, Bae Hae-seon, Lee Ji-won and Yoon Suk-wha.
It is in total 12 episodes and will be on screen on Fridays 8 p.m.
