Netflix has confirmed a new thriller series called Vole starring Ryu Jun Yeol and Sul Kyung Gu. The show is based on a popular webtoon and inspired by a Korean folktale. It tells the story of a man who loses his identity and teams up with a loan shark to get it back.
The series follows Moon Jae, a reclusive novelist with social anxiety. His life changes when his phone’s fingerprint scanner stops working, and his only friend disappears. He soon learns that someone called Vole has stolen his name, money, and identity. To fight back, Moon Jae joins forces with No Ja, a loan shark who once chased him for unpaid debt.
Ryu Jun Yeol plays Moon Jae, a quiet writer forced into action when his life is taken from him. Sul Kyung Gu plays No Ja, a tough loan shark who also works as a private detective. The two form an unlikely team to track down Vole. This marks the first time Ryu Jun Yeol and Sul Kyung Gu have worked together.
The show is directed by Kim Hong Sun, known for Money Heist: Korea and The Guest. The script is written by Lee Jae Gon, who worked on Special Affairs Team TEN. The production is handled by Kakao Entertainment, the company behind hits like Business Proposal and When the Phone Rings.
The webtoon Vole is based on a Korean folktale that says, “If a rat eats a fingernail, it becomes human.” The series will explore themes of identity theft, reality, and illusion. Fans of thrillers can expect suspense, mystery, and intense performances from the lead actors.
“This story blurs the line between what’s real and what’s not,” said a Netflix representative. “With a strong cast and creative team, we believe it will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.”
Filming is expected to start soon, but Netflix has not yet announced a release date. The series will be available worldwide on the streaming platform.
Ryu Jun Yeol is known for his roles in The 8 Show and Believer. Sul Kyung Gu has starred in Kingmaker and Hyper Knife. Their collaboration is one of the most anticipated team-ups in Korean drama this year.
The production also involves C-JeS Studio and H-House, two well-known companies in the industry. Kakao Entertainment has a strong record of turning webtoons into successful dramas, raising expectations for Vole.
The series promises a mix of psychological tension and action. Moon Jae’s journey to reclaim his identity will be filled with twists. No Ja’s motives add another layer of suspense as he balances between helping Moon Jae and getting his money back.
Netflix has been expanding its Korean thriller lineup, and Vole is the latest addition. The streaming service has seen huge success with Korean content, including Squid Game and The Glory. This new series aims to continue that trend.
Fans of Ryu Jun Yeol and Sul Kyung Gu are excited to see them share the screen. Social media reactions have been positive, with many calling it a must-watch. The combination of a strong story, skilled director, and top actors makes Vole a highly awaited show.
The exact plot details are still under wraps, but the webtoon’s dark tone suggests a gripping narrative. The folktale inspiration adds a supernatural element, making it different from typical thrillers.
Netflix has not revealed how many episodes the series will have. More updates are expected as filming progresses. For now, fans can look forward to seeing two of Korea’s best actors in a high-stakes mystery.
