Starring Jin Ki-Joo, Wi Ha-Joon, Kim Hye-Yoon and Park Hoon, 'Midnight' revolves around a life-threatening hide and seek story between Kyung Mi who has hearing disabilities and the psychopathic killer Do-Sik. One night, murderer Do-sik spots Kyung Mi's mother waiting for her daughter who went to park her car but his target changed when the high school student So Jung bump into him. Kyung-mi's mother managed to escape from being murdered but So Jung became the victim and being stabbed by Do-sik at the alley.

When you watch the scenes, you definitely get the chilly and creepy feel.

Rising actress Kim Hye Yoon casted as high school student So Jung who is the last person bump into Do Sik before Kyung Mi. Park Hoon plays Jong Tak, So Jung's older brother, a former officer in the Marine Corps and currently works at a security company. The tension raised when Jong Tak comes into play. Gil Hae Yeon plays Kyung Mi’s mother, who is also hearing-impaired.

The actors are perfect in their respective roles and the story has been constantly delivering the thrills and the suspense until the very end. Put on your comfiest pyjamas, get some popcorn going and get set to watch it on Astro and unifi TV on 1 August.
