Actor Lee Jung-eun is taking on her first full-scale action role since her debut.

On August 26, Netflix announced that Lee Jung-eun, Kim Mu-yeol, Huh Joon-ho, Choi Sung-eun, Bae Na-ra, Seo Hyun-woo, and Moon Jong-won will star in the series "Halmae" (romanization).

"Halmae" is a noir action drama depicting the desperate revenge of Jeong Sook-ja, who picks up a gun for her grandson, and Seo Yeon-woo, who awakens her hunting instinct, as they stand against the criminal organization Cheonghwa Group.

"Halmae" stands out with its unique and fresh premise of a woman in her 70s living an ordinary life who sets out to avenge her grandson, alongside an unpredictable, twisting plot that unravels the secrets of the criminal syndicate targeted for revenge. From the subtle dynamic between Jeong Sook-ja and Seo Yeon-woo as partners in revenge to the complex narratives of characters intertwined with the Cheonghwa Group, the series delivers a distinct level of immersion and tension. Director Lee Kwon, who crafted a stylish and sensory action thriller through "A Shop for Killers", is at the helm.

Lee Jung-eun is set to deliver a passionate performance as Jeong Sook-ja, who takes up a gun for revenge to save her grandson. Her life turns 180 degrees when her grandson, whom she raised alone while running a restaurant, suddenly falls victim to a mysterious attack and is pushed to the brink of life and death. Consequently, Jeong Sook-ja decides to pick up a gun again for the first time in decades since her youth and take matters into her own hands for revenge. Anticipation is high for Lee Jung-eun's first challenge in action acting.

Kim Mu-yeol plays Seo Yeon-woo, Jeong Sook-ja's helper and the mastermind behind the revenge. He approaches Jeong Sook-ja, who is boiling with grief and anger, reveals the connection between her grandson's accident and the Cheonghwa Group, and awakens her hunting instinct. While he helps with her revenge using exceptional intelligence and keen judgment, he is also a mysterious figure who seems to harbor different motives.

Kim Mu-yeol, who recently renewed his best work and character through the globally successful Netflix series "Teach You a Lesson", is set to showcase even heavier action through this project. In addition, expectations are growing for his chemistry with Lee Jung-eun, reuniting four years after "Juvenile Justice".

Huh Joon-ho, who radiates intense charisma and unrivaled presence, takes on the role of Jang Kwang-chul, a former Heukseong faction boss and the current chairman of the Cheonghwa Group.

"Halmae" will be available on Netflix.
