iQiyi has recently released the main poster for its Original K-series Jirisan, starring Gianna Jun and Ju Ji-hoon. The poster depicts Jun and Ju standing in amid snowfall in the mountains, against contrasting backgrounds of red and blue. The imagery hints at the series’ story, which will see the pair unravel the hidden secrets of Jirisan mountain. Jirisan is set for an exclusive global premiere on iQiyi on October 23rd in a simulcast with Korea.
The series puts Jirisan mountain, which is seen as a source comfort by many Koreans, at the heart of its story, by highlighting the many challenges park rangers face, including floods, fires, and rescue missions. Jun and Ju play two such park rangers, and the main poster portrays the chilling and gloomy atmosphere of the environment they work in. The pair’s expressions – Jun’s steely gaze and Ju’s seeming sadness – suggest the weight of the mysteries they will unravel in the series. The poster’s accompanying taglines, which translate to “A place I can’t climb again after that day” and “A place I can’t break away from after that day”, point to Jun and Ju’s entangled destinies in dealing with what lies in wait at the mountains.
Jirisan follows the team of national park rangers who are responsible for search and rescue on Jirisan. In the course of their work, experienced ranger (Gianna Jun) and rookie ranger (u Ji-hoon) discover the deeper secrets of the peak. The iQiyi Original K-series will exclusively simulcast with Korea on 23rd October on the iQiyi International app and iQ.com worldwide.
