Song Hye Kyo and Gong Yoo's long-awaited Netflix series finally has a release plan.
On November 13, Netflix confirmed that Tantara will be released in three parts over three weeks: Part 1 (episodes 1-8) on December 11, Part 2 (episodes 9-15) on December 18 and Part 3 (episodes 16-22) on December 25. Along with the schedule, Netflix unveiled teaser posters and a teaser trailer.
Set in the Korean entertainment industry of the 1960s to the 1980s, a time when brutality and violence ran rampant, Tantara tells the story of people who had nothing but threw themselves into their dreams of dazzling success. It reunites writer Noh Hee Kyung and director Lee Yoon Jung, and marks Song Hye Kyo's first drama in about three years since The Glory, which won her the grand prize at the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards.

The posters capture each character's ambitions. Min Ja (Song Hye Kyo) says with sparkling eyes, "You've seen how I can smell money. There's money here." Dong Gu (Gong Yoo) asks fearlessly, "What's there to be scared of for guys like us who've lived rough?"

Min Hee (Seolhyun), looking young, provocatively says, "I have to succeed so you won't abandon me," hinting at a love-hate relationship with Min Ja. Seok Gil Yeo (Cha Seung Won), the top star composer of the era, conducts the stage in a sharp suit while asking, "Do you think someone as uneducated as me got this far for nothing?"

The teaser trailer shows Min Ja and Dong Gu, who have leaned on each other through hardships since childhood, meeting Min Hee, who has a gift for singing, and jumping into the record industry. The tagline reads, "A reckless start. Countless challenges. The intense journey of entertainers."
Lee Ha Nui and Na Moon Hee also star.
