The world of entertainment is bustling with the newest thrilling K-drama, The Manipulated. It dropped the first four episodes in one go. It is truly rare to see K-dramas dropping in such a pattern. However, it cannot be denied that this new release schedule is definitely raising the intrigue for the series. Replete with intense action sequences and a thrilling storyline, the new episodes of The Manipulated will arrive on November 12.
The Manipulated release schedule and more
The distinct release schedule that the series has chosen is already making quite a lot of noise amongst the netizens. Usually, the format that K-dramas follow includes one episode every week. This not only drags the storyline for a long time but also tests the patience of the viewers. However, in The Manipulated, the series will be following a release schedule of dropping two episodes on one single day. Unlike the four episodes on the first day of the release, the fifth and sixth episodes of The Manipulated will arrive on November 12.
It will then be followed by two more episodes the following week on November 19. The ninth and tenth episodes of the series will then arrive on November 26. The Manipulated comes with a total of twelve episodes. Hence, the penultimate and the final episodes of the series will arrive on December 3. The release schedule is definitely a crucial factor in making the series such an intriguing one, besides the plotline. The fresh plotline, coupled with the stunning performances of the actors, makes this series a must-watch.
The embodiment of versatility, Ji Chang-wook takes on the character of Park Tae-joong in the series. Tae-joong is a dedicated delivery person. He is also helpful towards others. Tae-joong always tries to help people whenever he sees someone in need.

However, his helpful nature becomes the root of the troubles in his life, which eventually completely changes his life. Besides The Manipulated, some of Ji Chang-wook’s projects that definitely deserve a place in your watchlist if you have not already watched them are Healer, The K2, The Worst of Evil, Hard Hit, etc.
The series also features yet another intriguing cast. The multitalented star, Do Kyung-soo, in the role of the villain, An Yo-han. An Yo-han is the master manipulator putting Tae-joong in trouble. Though in the first four episodes of The Manipulated, the focus is mainly on Tae-joong, the snippets of An Yo-han that we see in these episodes are enough to denote that he is not someone to be trifled with.

Do Kyung-soo’s ability to perfectly embody any character that he takes on comes in handy in this series. This can be seen in how he depicts An Yo-han. An Yo-han’s character is truly intimidating with a layer of eeriness. Besides Do Kyung-soo’s performance in this series, he also worked in multiple movies and TV shows. He also won the hearts of millions of his fans with his angelic voice. Some of his other notable projects include The Moon, Bad Prosecutor, 100 Days My Prince, It's Okay, That's Love, Swing Kids, etc.
The fourth episode of The Manipulated ends in an intense manner. An Yo-han and Tae-joong finally meet one another. How the two of them will navigate this new situation will definitely be interesting to watch in the fifth episode of the series.
