Chimera ( Korean: 키마이라; RR: Kimaira) [a] is a South Korean television series directed by Kim Do-hoon and written by Lee Jin-mae. Starring Park Hae-soo, Lee Hee-joon and Claudia Kim, the series tells the story of three leading characters who dig through secrets of the past 30 years to find a culprit named 'Chimera'. [3] It aired every Saturday and Sunday at 22:30 on OCN from October 30 to December 19, 2021. ( KST). [4] [5]
The title of the drama is borrowed from Greek mythology. Chimera is the name of a monster that has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake, and breathes fire through its mouth.
An explosion took place in the past. That explosion led to a serial murder case known as the Chimera case. 35 years later, a similar explosion takes place.
The filming of the series, produced at a cost of ₩13 billion, was temporarily halted in June 2019 due to sexual harassment allegations. [2] An assistant director (the offender) and producer were fired as a result. Production company JS Pictures issued an apology to the victim (a writer) and the cast and crew. [11]
The series was slated for release in the second half of 2019, but did not air until October 2021 for unspecified reasons. [12] [1]
