“Uprising” is the new South Korean drama that has arrived in Netflix‘s catalog with a historical proposal that will captivate you from minute one, especially due to its action-packed narrative and the performances of its stars.
The story is set in the Joseon dynasty, during a tumultuous time in the aftermath of war, and follows two friends who grew up together, one a master and the other a servant, as they reunite after the war as enemies on opposing sides.
Gang Dong-won and Cha Seung-won are just two of the actors who have made their mark in this dramatic thriller, which is directed by Kim Sang-man (Girl Scout) and written by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy and Decision to Leave).
Will Uprising have a sequel on Netflix?
Although viewers always get excited about continuity whenever new titles arrive in the catalog, it is still unknown what the future holds for the new K-drama from the streaming giant, Uprising. It is still too early to tell.
South China Morning Post and Korea Joongang Daily reported that since the release of the film is imminent, it is common for services like Netflix to evaluate audience metrics before deciding on potential sequels.
It is expected that the drama will perform well and attract a solid fanbase, increasing the likelihood of a sequel. For now, fans will have to wait to see how the audience responds to the thriller.
The movie, which explores themes of rebellion during the Joseon dynasty and features prominent actors like Gang Dong-won, has generated interest, especially since it was the opening film of the 29th Busan International Film Festival.
