Dive into the Darker Side of Joseon with "The Murky Stream"!

Hold onto your seats! Disney+ has just unveiled the release date, along with eye-catching posters and an intense teaser for its upcoming series "The Murky Stream." Set in the chaotic backdrop of a lawless Joseon era, where the Gyeong River has transformed from a vibrant artery into a polluted murk, this series promises a gripping tale of survival and justice.

Our heroes—Si Yool (Rowoon), the mysterious rogue; Choi Eun (Shin Ye Eun), the wise crusader for justice; and Jeong Cheon (Park Seo Ham), the aspiring incorruptible official—navigate a world rife with corruption. The striking new posters depict ink splatters that symbolize the turbulent waters of their fate and the moral decay of those in power. The tagline, "It’s your fault. You were born into a corrupt world," leaves us wondering how the trio will forge their paths in this hostile environment.

Adding to the allure, the logo for the series is crafted by Chong Tae Chun, a celebrated Korean folk singer and songwriter, imbuing the project with an artistic touch that reflects its rich narrative full of surprises and twists.

Get Ready for a Rollercoaster of Emotion!

The teaser is nothing short of captivating, plunging viewers into the turmoil of Joseon—a land shaken by the powerful elite. We are introduced to Si Yool’s evocative line: "Living is like a ferocious dream. There will be a price to pay." The once-calm waters of the Gyeong River ripple with ominous tensions, as Jeong Cheon warns, "Joseon is a land in decline. Everywhere reeks of rot." Things heat up when Choi Eun boldly voices her outrage, only to face a chilling retort from the oppressors: "Nothing is impossible for the powerful." Undeterred, the trio steels themselves for a showdown, declaring, "Let’s fight. In this weary world, dying would be a blessing."
