Watch: Joo Won Is Cursed To Work With Ghost Clients In “The Midnight Studio” Teasers

ENA’s “The Midnight Studio” has unveiled new teasers ahead of the highly anticipated premiere!

“The Midnight Studio” is a drama about a professional photo studio that exists only for the deceased. Joo Won stars as Seo Ki Joo, the prickly photographer who runs the studio, while Kwon Nara plays passionate lawyer Han Bom, who winds up offering legal advice to the ghosts that visit the studio.

The newly released teaser of episode 1 previews how Seo Ki Joo’s family became cursed for multiple generations. The chilling teaser begins with a man—played by Park Byung Eun in his special appearance—picking up a magical camera, which he brings to his sick son. Giving his son the camera, the father says, “Hold on to this tightly. I stole it from the underworld.”

However, his actions have repercussions, and in exchange for saving his son’s life, he makes a deal with a mysterious being in which the future sons of the family are cursed to be chased by the dead while only living until the age of 35. Unaware of the full extent of what this will mean, the man readily agrees to the deal to save his son.

Another teaser shows an everyday moment from the life of Seo Ki Joo, who inherited the curse that has been passed down for many generations. While trying to take a nap during a church service, Assistant Manager Ko (Yoo In Soo) wakes him up so that Seo Ki Joo can attend to a customer.

Seo Ki Joo insists, “Tell the honored guest to wait,” but rookie ghost employee Baek Nam Goo arrives to personally carry Seo Ki Joo away to the client. Although Seo Ki Joo tries to make an argument about his legal working hours, Assistant Manager Ko adamantly states, “You’re not a wage earner—you’re self-employed. Self-employed people have to go whenever the client calls. Let’s go.” With a wave of a finger, Baek Nam Goo carries Seo Ki Joo out of the church, surprising all those in attendance at what mysterious forces could be at work.
