Kim Nam Gil stars as a detective in the suspenseful new drama 'Nightmare'.
SBS's upcoming drama, 'Nightmare,' starring Kim Nam Gil, has revealed its first teaser. The drama, set to air in 2027, tells the story of a group of vigilantes who punish criminals in an unconventional way: through nightmares.
On June 1, 2026, SBS held a drama media event titled 'SBS DRAMA: NEXT EPISODE' in Seoul, where they introduced their lineup of dramas set to air in the second half of 2026 and the first half of 2027. Among the highly anticipated dramas is 'Nightmare,' which boasts a unique and engaging plot.
'Nightmare' centers around a group of vigilantes who seek to punish criminals who cannot be punished by law. Instead of putting them in prison, they imprison them in nightmares. The drama follows the journeys of these individuals as they cross the line between dreams and reality to uphold their own version of justice.
Kim Nam Gil plays the lead character, detective Kim Tae Yi, who returns from a long undercover mission with a changed personality. Although her speech and lifestyle have changed, her determination to eradicate crime remains the same. With sharp instincts and a relentless spirit, she joins the vigilantes who ensnare criminals in nightmares.
Lee Yoo Mi co-stars as Jang Gyu Eun, a police officer in the Southern District who focuses on supporting victims. In everyday life, she appears shy and awkward, but in the dream world, she transforms into a different person. She enters the dreams of escaped criminals and inflicts pain in brutal ways, acting as the "architect of nightmares."
This drama promises a suspenseful storyline and complex characters, and will be one of the most anticipated shows for K-drama fans. Stay tuned for more information about this drama!
