[E-Daily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The horror drama “M,” which took the nation by storm in 1994, is returning with a new cast after more than 30 years. The TVING Original “M: Reboot,” starring Jung Chae-yeon and Jung Geon-ju, will premiere next year.

“M: Reboot” is a horror thriller in which Detective Ji-seok, who is chasing an unidentified green light, becomes entangled in bizarre events alongside “M,” a mysterious persona that awakens within the body of Mari, a promising ballerina. It reinterprets the 1994 MBC series “M”—which garnered attention for its unconventional subject matter and atmosphere—with a modern sensibility.
The series is directed by Lim Dae-woong, who has consistently delivered horror-thriller works such as the drama *It’s Nighttime* and the film *Scary Story*. The screenplay is written by Hong Eun-mi and Lee Jeong-eun, who previously worked on the films *Hidden Face* and *Missing: The Woman Who Vanished*.
In this project, Jeong Chae-yeon takes on the challenge of playing three roles simultaneously for the first time. She portrays Marie, a promising ballet dancer; Jenny, a genius surgeon from the U.S.; and the mysterious persona “M.” The story truly begins when “M” awakens within Marie, who has been plagued by nightmares ahead of an audition for a world-renowned ballet school.

Jeong Chae-yeon said, “Since this is a new challenge for me as well, I believe it’s a project where I can learn a lot, gain experience, and grow,” adding, “I’m excited to be able to show a new side of myself.”
Jeong Geon-ju takes on the role of Ji Seok, a detective investigating the mysterious incidents surrounding Jenny. While chasing a green light that appears in every inexplicable case, Ji Seok eventually confronts memories from 10 years ago. This marks Jeong Geon-ju’s first time taking on the role of a detective.
Attention is focused on how the production will revive the iconic horror imagery of the 1994 film *M*, as well as what new atmosphere will be created by Jung Chae-yeon’s portrayal of three roles and Jung Geon-ju’s first transformation into a detective.
