Actress Go Hyun Jung has officially joined the cast of the upcoming Korean remake of the drama series, 'Magpie'. The narrative notably unfolds a gripping tale of a woman, who once bore the brand of a brutal serial killer, finds herself in a bizarre paradox as she becomes the target of a mysterious individual imitating her past crimes. Now hoping to nab the imitator, she collaborates with her son, who is a police officer.

This intriguingly layered plot comes from the successful French original drama of the same name, that gained significant attention when it was released as a six-part production titled 'La Mante' in 2017. The series was not originally a Netflix production but has since found a global platform via Netflix.

In the Korean remake, Go Hyun Jung, renowned for her acting prowess, brings to life the complex character of the protagonist - not just a former serial killer but also a mother of a police officer. The show is being produced by Merry Christmas, with full-scale production anticipated to kick off next year.

Go Hyun Jung comes fresh from her mesmerizing performance as Kim Momi in Netflix's 'Mask Girl'. She is now preparing to dive into this suspense-filled drama 'Magpie' as her next venture. The show has already begun to stir up excitement among fans as it promises to merge the distinct ambiance of France and Go Hyun Jung's astounding acting talent, offering a fresh experience for Korean audiences.

The official air-dates for 'Magpie' are still under deliberation.
