But, evil again awakens and the human world is thrown into chaos. Against a group of evil beings, including O-gwi (Park Hyung-sik), the 12 zodiac angels, led by Tae-san (Ma Dong-seok), who symbolizes the tiger, enter into an epic battle."

More about Twelve

As mentioned, popular Korean actors, Ma Dong-seok (Train to Busan) and Park Hyung-sik (Buried Hearts), will be joined by Seo In-guk (Reply 1997), Kang Mi-na, Sung Dong-il (Reply 1988), and Ko Kyu-pil, among several others.

For Park Hyung-sik, this will be his first villain role as he plays the evil spirit known as O-gwi in the eastern mythological-based K-drama. As per Soompi, Hyung-sik shared that he tried to make his crow-powered figure as mysterious as possible, just like a crow.

He said:

"Crows are very intelligent animals, but what interested me is that we cannot see what they are thinking on the inside. I approached the role with the idea of giving Ogui similar unclear, unknowable qualities."

He further added:

"I tried to weave the crow’s elegant, yet sharp, wing movements into the action."

Director of the K-drama, Han Yoon-seon, also shared his views on how he wanted to make Hyung-sik’s O-gwi a part of the other characters, and someone whom the viewers will also love. He stated:

"Although he stands against the 12 angels, I wanted to make him a character who interacts with them, grows alongside them, and can be loved by viewers. I was confident he could portray someone distinct from the 12 angels."
