"As You Stood By" is a Netflix series about two women who decide to kill in front of the reality that they cannot escape unless they die or kill.

Jeon So-nee, who has shown delicate performances in the movie "Soulmate", dramas "Encounter", and "Our Blooming Youth", plays a two-person role that crosses parasites and humans in Netflix's "Parasyte: The Grey", plays Eun-soo, an employee of a luxury department store. Eun-soo is a person who has lived with trauma since childhood and makes a serious decision to save her friend Hee-soo, who lives in pain similar to what she suffered.

Lee Yoo-mi, who made a strong impression on the public with the films "Young Adult Matters" and Netflix's "Squid Game", and increased her credibility by showing unique characters in "All of Us Are Dead" and "Strong Girl Nam-soon", takes on the role of Hee-soo, a friend of Eun-soo and struggles to escape from the circle of violence. Hee-soo was once a promising fairy tale writer, but she plans to kill her husband while spending hellish days with her husband. The meeting between Jeon So-nee, Lee Yoo-mi, and attractive mainstream actors is expected to add immersion to the work.

Jang Seung-jo, who recently impressed with strong characters through "The Frog", as well as performing perfect acting transformations in every genre, including the dramas "Familiar Wife", "Encounter", "Chocolate", and the "The Good Detective" series, will create endless tension by threatening the two women in his way as Jin-pyo, Hee-soo's husband.

Lee Mu-saeng, who shows his unrivaled presence such as Netflix's "The Glory", "Maestra: Strings of Truth", "Hide", and "Blood Free" and the movies "Noryang: Deadly Sea", "Citizen of a Kind" and "The Plot", plays the role of Jin So-baek, the representative of Jinkang Sanghwe. Jin So-baek recognizes the plans of Eun-soo and Hee-soo and acts as a strong helper to them, adding weight to the drama.

"As You Stood By" is directed by Lee Jung-rim, who showed stylish productions regardless of genres such as "Revenant" and "VIP", and produced by Studio S, Ghost Studio, and Miji, a movie company. In particular, "As You Stood By" is based on Hideo Okuda's Naomi and Kanako.

The original novel "Naomi to Kanako" has been praised for its unique storytelling as well as suspenseful story that contains the protagonists who face violence. Based on the interesting original novel, "As You Stood By" is expected to be a work that will save those trapped in hellish reality and ask heavy questions to everyone who turns a blind eye to violence.
