At the heart of this gripping narrative is Ok-joo, a woman who risks everything for retribution. Portrayed by Jeon Jong-seo (known for her roles in "The Call" and "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area"), Ok-joo is a former bodyguard consumed by her relentless quest to bring down Choi Pro (Kim Ji-hoon-I), a charmer who caused the tragic demise of her beloved ballerina friend, Min-hee (Park Yu-rim). Helmed by visionary director Lee Chung-hyun and boasting a stellar cast, "Ballerina" is set to redefine the action revenge drama genre. 

A symphony of contrasts, the trailer pairs Ok-joo's formidable aura with Min-hee's graceful ballet, all set to a pulsating beat. The narrative takes a dark turn when Ok-joo finds a letter from Min-hee, a plea for vengeance. As Ok-joo embarks on her mission, confronting adversaries like Choi, the stakes get higher, and the suspense is palpable.

The main poster showcases the film's unique aesthetic, dominated by a neon color palette. It features Ok-joo, dressed in 'Min-hee's' ballet attire, gun in hand, her gaze unwavering, symbolizing her unyielding resolve. The caption, "Cruel and Merciless to the Very End of Hell", encapsulates the essence of her journey, setting the stage for an epic tale of revenge.

"Ballerina" comes to Netflix on October 6.
