Yoo In Soo and Eum Moon Suk are Joo Won's Employees in "The Midnight Studio"

Yoo In Soo and Eum Moon Suk play Joo Won's employees in The Midnight Studio.

The Midnight Studio dropped stills featuring Yoo In Soo (The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch, The Good Bad Mother, Alchemy of Souls, All of Us Are Dead) and Eum Moon Suk (Backstreet Rookie, The Fiery Priest, The Roundup). 

Yoo In Soo plays the role of Go Dae Ri, and Eum Moon Suk plays Baek Nam Gu. These two, employees at Seo Ki Joo's ghost photo studio, bear crucial responsibilities and are vastly different from each other when one observes them closely. 

Go Dae Ri has been working at the photo studio for three years. During his lifetime, he worked so hard that he died from exhaustion. After coming to the photo studio, he approaches his duties with the same vigor and dedication. He diligently cleans and manages the studio every day, patiently listens to the grievances of visitors, and fulfills any requests to ease their minds, even without being asked.

So whenever Ki Joo, who prioritizes work-life balance, tries to escape, Go Dae Ri always has a word or two to say. He also responds to his boss's criticism with a cheerful and cheeky attitude, making him an expert at getting under Ki Joo's skin.

On the other hand, Baek Nam Gu is a newbie who joined the photo studio a month ago. Alongside guard duty and handling guests, he also handles minor tasks assigned by Seo Ki Joo. Despite being a newbie, the ironic fact is that he's the oldest among them.

Baek Nam Gu's strong presence, taciturn nature, and history as a detective known for his relentlessness in catching the gangsters overwhelm those around him. Even Go Dae Ri, who can seem fearless in front of his boss, respectfully addresses Baek Nam Gu as Mr. Baek due to his commanding presence.

Go Dae Ri, who has worked at the photo studio for three years, naturally expects senior treatment. But Baek Nam Gu, with his intimidating aura, doesn't fit the mold of a docile newbie. 

But, despite their striking differences, the common thing between these two is that they still have work left to do in this world.

Go Dae Ri, who had been putting off everything in pursuit of his goal to become a manager, died of exhaustion just before his promotion. Feeling unfairly robbed of experiencing many things, he is currently fulfilling his bucket list of 162 goals and striving to make his wishes come true.

Whereas, Baek Nam Gu continues to linger around his wife even after his death.

Actor Yoo In Soo stated, "It will be fun to watch how two very different characters become friends with the common goal of helping the visitors relieve their grievances."

Eum Moon Suk said, "Since Baek Nam Gu has telekinesis and Go Dae Ri has the ability to possess, it will be fun to watch how the duo use each other's powers to solve the customers' cases." 

The Midnight Studio will premiere on March 11. The K-drama will be available to stream on Viki.
