Nam Da-reum is back with a new drama, and this time, the young actor is building up his status as the next swoon-worthy male lead. Earning the title role for the fantasy drama “The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim” is fellow former child actor Kim Sae-ron.
High School Fantasy Drama
“The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim” tells the story of high school student Ga Doo-shim (Kim Sae-ron), who seems to have inherited shaman mystical abilities from her grandmother. Ga Doo Shim’s grandmother dies while trying to get rid of an evil spirit who possesses the bodies of high school students. The evil spirit gets to escape but not before putting a curse on Ga Doo-shim, promising to kill her by the time she reaches 18.
Years later, Ga Doo-shim enters a new high school. She’s adamant on living an ordinary life. However, she still has the ability to see and talk to ghosts and unwillingly helps her mother in her shaman business.
At her new school, Ga Doo-shim meets Na Woo-soo (Nam Da-reum), a straight A student who comes from a wealthy family. Together, the two will fight the evil spirit wrecking havoc at their school.
