“The Killing Vote” has released a brand new teaser!
Based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name, “The Killing Vote” asks the question “What is your idea of justice?” and delves into the concept of a nationwide death penalty vote against vicious criminals who deftly manage to escape the law’s blind spots. The drama highlights the story of a mysterious figure known as “Dog Mask,” who executes the death penalty depending on the results of the vote, and the police who are pursuing them.
Park Hae Jin plays Kim Moo Chan, the head of Team 1 of the regional investigation unit at the Southern Provincial Police Agency. Lim Ji Yeon plays the role of Joo Hyun, a fifth-year lieutenant at the Cyber Security Bureau of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Park Sung Woong stars as Kwon Suk Joo, a long-term prison inmate who turned himself in after personally killing the culprit who sexually assaulted his eight-year-old daughter.
The newly released teaser begins with a half-naked man tied up in a mysterious place and then cuts to police officers Kim Moo Chan and Joo Hyun who appear to be investigating something. Next, the words “There are guilty but innocent demons in this world,” which seems to be referring to the evil criminals who escaped the law that “Dog Mask” goes after, appear one after another on the screen.
In another scene, Kwon Suk Joo is crying out in desperation following a judge’s acquittal of someone. Joo Hyun then says, “Who the hell is it? The innocent demons.” A moment later, a last chance to punish the guilty but innocent demons is hinted at as citizens start receiving messages about the national death penalty votes on their smartphones.
While everyone else looks confused and puzzled by the sudden message, the “innocent demon” in question begins to arrogantly yell out, “Kill me if you can!”
The screen then quickly intersects with images of the “Dog Mask” and Kim Moo Chan, Joo Hyun, and Kwon Suk Joo who are chasing after the individual. As the tension rises and reaches its climax, the teaser concludes with the question, “Kill or save, what is your choice?”
