The first Croatian Voyo Original series, "IQ 160," has arrived, starring Dajana Čuljak as the brilliant Marina Kapov and Luka Peroš as inspector Tomislav Ramljak. The show adapts the acclaimed French series "HPI" and filmed across Zagreb.

Čuljak's character, Marina Kapov, is a cleaner at a police station with an exceptional IQ of 160. Her high intelligence allows her to notice details that often elude experienced inspectors, leading her into collaboration with them.

After reading the script, I couldn't wait to step into Marina's shoes. The role seemed demanding, but also interesting and completely different from the character I played in 'Sjene prošlosti.' From changing her physical appearance to her way of thinking, everything was very appealing to try.

Actress Dajana Čuljak expressed her eagerness to embody Marina Kapov, describing the role as demanding, interesting, and a departure from her previous work. She drew inspiration from her childhood, her mother (also named Marina), friends who are mothers, and various media to portray Marina as an energetic, eccentric, and strong mother of three.

Luka Peroš, known for international productions like "La Casa de Papel," returns to the Croatian scene after over a decade to play inspector Tomislav Ramljak, a character who adheres strictly to rules and structure. Peroš was drawn to the series' entertaining format and the convenience of filming in his hometown, Zagreb.

I recalled my childhood, and coincidentally my mother's name is Marina, from friends who are mothers, from movies, series... All of this helped me to better portray a mother who is energetic, eccentric, fast, strong. I enjoyed the process.
