Disney has revealed a teaser trailer for a new horror thriller series called Connect made for Disney+ Korea. Legendary Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike directs this series which is adapted from the manga.
In the series a man is kidnapped and one of his eyes is removed by a gang of organ hunters. The eye is then transplanted into the body of a serial killer.
Kim Hye-Jun is in this which means ... HELL F-ING YES.
The upcoming original Disney+ #KDrama “Connect” is a drama based on a webtoon of the same name that tells the story of a new race with an immortal body known as “Connect.”

“Connect” has garnered tons of global popularity as it is the first Korean project by Takashi Miike and was invited to the 27th Busan International Film Festival.
On Disney+ in December.
All 6 episodes of the #KDrama #Connect from legendary director Takashi Miike have dropped and I plan to watch later. This is the first KDrama to be produced by a Japanese director.

@thewebrecluse I had to read your post twice because I've only seen Takashi Miike's very violent films. Seeing him and Disney+ in the same sentence kind of set off a cherry bomb in my under-caffeinated brain. 😜
Turns out I've missed a bunch of his 'heart-warming' works. (I can't even write that without thinking, "Yes but HOW is the heart warmed? Microwave? Slow cooker? Oven roast? This is Miike after all.") Guess he's got a greater range than I realized!
I will check out Connect. Thanks!
@Myana If you've only seen a handful of his work, I'd say yes ... you have missed a lot. In the U.S. remember we only tend to celebrate the violent and shocking media that exists outside of the country. Like ... oh look what kinds of crazy taboo perverted violent stuff the Asians are doing etc ... Miike adapts a lot of work from other sources and he's done kids stuff like the epic live action Ace Attorney movie. He's a director. He directs. You should check out his work. 😆
@Myana 😜 Yes I could say maybe to open up the windows and let in some fresh new air then ❤️
@thewebrecluse Well, I'm sure that my preferences (horror and yakuza movies) have skewed my impression of him too. 😋
This is probably a hint to me that I need to expand my range a bit.
