With only a week left till its premiere, SBS's upcoming supernatural drama, Revenant, released a new teaser, giving a sneak peek into Ku San Young's (Kim Tae Ri) ordinary life being thrown into the whirlwind of chaos because of the perplexing deaths that surround her and the evil spirit responsible for them, offering a tantalizing preview of the unfolding mystery. As curiosity mounts about how and why the evil spirit is taking lives, the teaser gives a glimpse of the entity slowly engulfing San Young in its clutches.

Upon learning of her deceased father, Professor Ku Kang Mo (Jin Seon Kyu), San Young visits his former residence, where she receives an heirloom left behind by him from her grandmother, Kim Seok Ran (Ye Soo Jung). However, her inheritance is more than just an object. 

After a while, San Young catches the attention of Yeom Hae Sang (Oh Jung Se), a folklorist who has pursued the evil spirit responsible for his mother's death for many years. He now sees the same spirit that took his mother's life possessing San Young and tries to caution her about it. But San Young doesn't heed his warning.

The evil entity gradually begins to thrust those around her into death. And investigating the suspicious deaths are Lee Hong Sae (Hong Kyung), an officer from the Violent Crimes Investigation Division, and his partner Seo Moon Choon (Kim Won Hae). 

Despite all evidence pointing to suicides, what raises suspicions is the recurring presence of bruised wrists on the deceased, as if someone had tightly gripped them. Even more intriguing is the connection between these victims and San Young. Overwhelmed by confusion, she questions, "Could it really be because of me?", and finally comes to accept that she is possessed by an evil spirit.

However, as the spirit gradually reveals its presence, it stirs dormant desires within San Young, threatening to consume her completely. Towards the end, her harrowing screams, as she witnesses the damage she is responsible for, leave viewers wonderstruck by Kim Tae Ri's passionate performance in depicting the pain her character suffers. 

The production team advises viewers, as per writer Kim Eun Hee's request, to momentarily close their eyes when it gets scary and to pay attention to even the smallest details, as inferring the hidden story will make the drama even more entertaining to watch.

Revenant will be released on June 23 on Disney+. Watch the latest teaser here
