Upcoming Korean superhero series “Twelve” (literal title) has unveiled its star-studded cast lineup!
On October 31, the upcoming fantasy drama “Twelve” revealed the cast lineup of the 12 zodiac angels.
Inspired by the 12 zodiac animals of the East, “Twelve” tells the story of 12 angels living in the human world in human form to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits. Long ago, the angels barely managed to seal the forces of evil in the gates of hell through their sacrifice, bringing peace. However, with the evil spirits awakening, chaos returns.
Previously, it was announced that Ma Dong Seok will play the role of Tae San, the leader of the 12 angels symbolizing the tiger, while Park Hyung Sik will portray Ogui, symbolizing the crow, the force of evil that has awakened from its seal. Tae San harbors deep within his heart the memories of the four angels symbolizing the ox, rabbit, sheep, and rooster, who were sacrificed in past battles, and now lives in the human world, concealing his true identity.
On top of them, Seo In Guk, who was previously in talks, confirmed to take on the role of Won Seung, symbolizing the monkey. Won Seung is a nimble trickster who dreams of becoming the next leader after Tae San.
Veteran actor Sung Dong Il will play Ma Rok, a human with special abilities uniquely chosen by the gods and the manager of the 12 angels. Marok stands by the 12 angels, assisting them in protecting humanity and the world.
Lee Joo Bin will portray Mir, the angel symbolizing the dragon who lives with her special powers sealed due to a battle that took place thousands of years ago.
Go Kyu Pil will transform into Don Yi, the angel symbolizing the pig. Don Yi works as a nurse at a oriental medicine clinic, assisting the angel Bang Wool, who symbolizes the snake, and surprises everyone with his unexpected agility in battles.
Kang Mina will play Gang Ji, the angel symbolizing the dog. Gang Ji is swift like a fighting dog in battles but possesses a warm heart, always determined to protect humans.
Sung Yoo Bin will portray Jwi Dol, the angel symbolizing the rat. Jwi Dol has quick judgment and plays an indispensable role in the activities of the 12 angels.
Ahn Ji Hye will take on the role of Mal Sook, the angel symbolizing the horse, showcasing spectacular action sequences.
Rookie actress Regina Lei will play the role of Bang Wool, the angel symbolizing the snake, marking her official acting debut.
