The series will be helmed by the exceptional director Yeon Sang Ho who is known for delivering post-apocalyptic stories with his own special flair. Given the direction of Yeon Sang Ho who directed Train To Busan, Hellbound, the expectations for Parasyte: The Grey unsurprisingly are high. 

Parasyte: The Grey’s plot follows a new storyline that is set in the original manga universe. The story instead of Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan will take place in Namil, South Korea. The story begins when out of the blue mysterious parasites fall from the sky and start taking humans as their hosts. They need a human body to live, but complications occur for humans as these parasites are nothing but dangerous. They are murderous organisms who control the humans they take as a host and kill everyone in sight. 

In response to these bloodthirsty parasites, the government creates an anti-parasite task force called The Grey, led by a coldhearted Choi Jun Kyung (played by Lee Jung Hyun) who will not sit silently until she has annihilated every last one of them. 

But some parasites might be different. The parasite in Jeong Su In (Jeon So Nee) is in a symbiosis state with its host and they seem to help and protect each other. But Jeong Su In needs to make everyone understand her relationship with the parasite and how it is harmless else she will be killed by The Grey. 


Parasyte: The Grey’s Cast 

The cast of Parasyte: The Grey gets as good as it can. Hailing the show will be Koo Kyo Hwan and Jeon So Nee along with Lee Jung Hyun.

Koo Kyo Hwan of D.P. will be portraying the role of Seol Kang Woo. He is a member of the Mangnani Gang. He is trying to track down parasites in order to find his lost sister. He will be seen helping Jeong Su In to survive.

She is one in a million as her parasite is the only one who is not a killing machine like others. Unlike the other parasites who wish to take over Earth the parasite in Jeong Su In just wants to survive. But Jeong Su In needs to fight many enemies to do that.
