Kim Hong-sun, the Korean director of “Project Wolf Hunting” and Season 3 of British crime drama “Gangs of London,” is shooting “The Hit List,” a martial arts revenge actioner set during Korea’s Joseon era, with Jung Woo-sung and “Squid Game” star Wi Ha-jun.

“The Hit List” adapts a Kakao webtoon that has drawn more than 120 million views. The story follows Han Myeong-hoe, among the most powerful men of the Joseon era, who climbed to the top through bloodshed. Opposite him is Baek E-hwa, a woman who loses everything to Han and turns her life over to revenge. Han’s right-hand man, Jang Gil-do, is a fearsome warrior in his own right.
