Known for his widely popular films like The King and The Face Reader, Han Jae-rim makes his directorial debut in a series with The 8 Show. Set to premiere on May 17, the show is already igniting anticipation with its star-studded cast, featuring Ryu Jun-yeol, Chun Woo-hee, Park Jeong-min, Lee Yul-eum, Park Hae-joon, Lee Zoo-young, Moon Jeong-hee, and Bae Seong-woo.

In The 8 Show, eight individuals find themselves trapped in a mysterious eight-story building, participating in a tempting but dangerous show, where the prize money goes up the longer the show goes on.

The launch poster provides a first look at the eight individuals, clad in an eclectic array of outfits, from checkered shirts and denim jeans to well-cut suits and flowy dresses. Ready to embark on the irresistible but brutal show that revolves around universal themes of money and time, each figure hints at a story waiting to be told.

Meanwhile, the accompanying trailer previews the suspense that awaits, with Ryu Jun-yeol setting the stage for what makes the show so tantalizing - guaranteed high returns, accommodation provided, and only their time is required. With the simple rule of as time passes, money accumulates, the eight individuals tackle alliances, confrontations, and betrayals during their confinement.

Han Jae-rims adept direction breathes new life into Bae Jinsoos original webtoons "Money Game" and "Pie Game," which recorded a total of 300 million global views. The 8 Show offers a fresh perspective on the allure of the number eight and how an enticing offer can draw out the deepest desires of each individual.

Time is money, get ready for The 8 Show only May 17, only on Netflix.
