SBS’s upcoming drama “Those Who Read Hearts of Evil” (literal title) released a behind-the-scenes look at the first script reading!

“Those Who Read Hearts of Evil” is based on a book of the same name that was co-penned by Kwon Il Yong and Go Na Moo. It will tell the story of South Korea’s first criminal profiler as he struggles to look inside and read the hearts of serial killers during a time when the word “profiling” did not exist.

In addition to the director and scriptwriter, cast members Kim Nam Gil, Jin Sun Kyu, Kim So Jin, and more attended the script reading. Each of the actors flawlessly immersed themselves into their roles at the reading, raising anticipation for the crime thriller.

Kim Nam Gil will play the profiler Song Ha Young of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency’s Scientific Investigation of Criminal Behavior Analysis team. Although Song Ha Young appears to lack emotions, he’s a figure who reads more deeply into humans than anyone else. During the script reading, Kim Nam Gil awed everyone with his overwhelming performance. With his strong immersion, the actor captured his character’s fierce psychology.

Jin Sun Kyu will star as Gook Young Soo, the team leader of the Criminal Behavior Analysis team. He realized the need to analyze criminal behavior, and after long planning, he creates the Criminal Behavior Analysis team. Jin Sun Kyu perfectly expressed his character’s warm-hearted nature, outstanding ability, and sharp intelligence.

Kim So Jin will take on the role of Yoon Tae Goo, the team leader of the Mobile Investigation Unit at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Yoon Tae Goo uses her animal-like instincts to perceive cases, and she’s known as a legend in the world of handling violent crimes.
