Set on a modern campus, "Beauty in the Beast" traces Min-soo's coming-of-age as she enters college after years of rigorous training to suppress her instincts and avoid transforming. Navigating a new world - and new feelings - she finds herself caught between the steady warmth of Hae-joon and the free-spirited pull of Do-ha.

The series is helmed by director Jin Hyeok ("The Tale of Lady Ok", "Sisyphus: The Myth", "The Legend of the Blue Sea"), known for his delicate character work and striking visual style. The script is written by Jin Han-sae ("Extracurricular", "Glitch"), whose bold, innovative storytelling has captivated audiences. Produced by Studio 329 ("Extracurricular", "Crime Puzzle"), the project brings together a seasoned creative team with a keen eye for contemporary genre stories.

Meet the cast:

• Kim Minju ("Hear Me: Our Summer", "Undercover High School", "Connection") plays central character Ha Min-soo, a curious young woman with a growing to-do list, determined to experience the world despite a life spent hiding her powers.

• Lomon ("All of Us Are Dead", "Family Matters - Season 1", "Branding in Seongsu") portrays Do-ha, a free-spirited werewolf whose uninhibited nature clashes with Min-soo's restraint.

• Moon Sang-min ("Under the Queen's Umbrella", "Wedding Impossible", "Cinderella at 2 AM") is Hae-joon, Min-soo's seemingly aloof but gentle campus senior - soft-hearted beneath a poker face, and affectionately referred to as a "golden retriever". Generally uninterested in others, Min-soo's unpredictable behavior catches his attention.

Stay tuned for more updates on "Beauty in the Beast", only on Netflix.
