Disney+ is ready to make history with its first Korean period drama The Murky Stream (Takryu), set to premiere worldwide on September 26, 2025. The highly anticipated series stars Rowoon, Shin Ye Eun, and Park Seo Ham, bringing a fierce tale of power, corruption, and survival during the Joseon era.
Directed by Choo Chang Min and written by Chun Sung Il, the drama follows three very different characters whose lives intertwine along Gyeonggang, the bustling trade artery of the Han River. Rowoon takes on the role of Si Yool, a man hiding his past while rising as a gangster. Shin Ye Eun plays Choi Eun, a righteous woman who never compromises her values, while Park Seo Ham portrays Jeong Cheon, an ambitious figure striving to uphold integrity as he dreams of becoming a government official.
Beyond its captivating cast, The Murky Stream is set apart by its gritty narrative. It explores how money and power dominate society and how individuals fight to keep their dignity amidst injustice. With high production value, gripping performances, and a storyline hotter and fiercer than anything else on screen, Disney+ is positioning the drama as a flagship release.
