Netflix confirms production and cast for new period action film “Dochabi” (WT), a Korean goblin tale
The streaming company said it is moving ahead with a new Korean-language period action drama titled “Dochabi” (WT), with Netflix describing the word as native Korean for “dokkaebi,” a goblin figure from folklore.
Netflix has confirmed it is producing a new period action film, “Dochabi” (WT), and has named a cast for the project, according to a post on its Newsroom.
Netflix said the film’s title, “Dochabi,” is a native Korean word for “dokkaebi,” a goblin character that appears in Korean folklore. The company framed the project as a blend of period setting and action drama.
Beyond confirming that production is underway and that casting has been set, the Newsroom announcement did not spell out additional creative details in the material provided for this report, such as the film’s release window, runtime, or a scene-by-scene outline.
Netflix also did not disclose, in the information available here, where filming will take place, who is directing the film, or whether the project is connected to any existing franchise or prior adaptation.
The announcement comes as Netflix continues to expand scripted originals globally, using genre filmmaking and internationally recognizable cultural references to broaden appeal. In this case, the company is leaning on a folklore concept, “dokkaebi,” which can be familiar to Korean audiences and legible to international viewers through a fantasy-inflected action format.
For the company, new film productions like “Dochabi” represent a parallel track to its episodic strategy. Films allow Netflix to market a distinct, self-contained story event, while also building a broader slate of Korean-language titles tied to recognizable themes.
Still, Netflix has not provided in the available announcement any specifics that would allow outsiders to gauge the project’s scale and schedule. That includes staffing details, production timeline, release date, and the degree to which the “dokkaebi” mythology will be adapted rather than simply referenced.
What to watch next is whether Netflix follows the production confirmation with additional credits, such as the director, writing team, and principal cast members, and whether it later announces a release timeframe for “Dochabi” (WT).
Why It Matters
- A confirmed Korean-language film adds to Netflix’s ongoing slate strategy, where feature projects can become standalone “events” for subscribers.
- Using a folklore figure like “dokkaebi” suggests Netflix is aiming to connect cultural mythology with mainstream genre expectations, especially in action and drama.
- The next disclosures, such as director and full cast credits, will shape early industry and audience expectations for the project’s production value and tone.
