Nevertheless, I feel the cast still had performed well, especially Yoo Seon-ho who had portrayed an autistic character realistically. As mentioned earlier, I am not a fan of this drama, as I feel the drama could have been much shorter with the familiar and expected plot. Though feeling betrayed by Jeong-hyun’s lie for 20 years, she decided to accept Jeong-hyun and worked together with him to put the corrupted NIS director behind the bars. However, Yeon-soo soon learnt about Jeong-hyun’s real identity as Lee suk-kyu. Hyeong-rak was also the one who instructed Yeong-geol to stop Yeon-soo from assuming the director position, which Yeon-soo ultimately did become the director with Jeong-hyun’s support. Jeong-hyun found that his ex-colleague’s death was related to director of NIS Im Hyeong-rak ( Heo Joon-ho) who had been siphoning public funds for private investments, and thus accumulating large amount of wealth. He then proceeded with his own investigations, as well as to protect his family and to prevent Yeon-soo from knowing his real identity. Jeong-hyun found that the man with questionable death that Yeon-so was investigating was actually his ex-colleague at NIS. Jeong-hyun could not even take care of his father using the identity of Suk-kyu. Jeong-hyun fell in love with Yeon-soo, ad decided to leave NIS to marry Yeon-soo. Back then, Suk-kyu ( Yeon Woo-jin) was assigned to investigate on the student leader of mass protest Kim Tae-yeol ( Kim Young-dae) using the name Han Jeong-hyun, and befriended Tae-yeol’s close friend and supporter Yeon-soo ( Han Sun-hwa). Jeong-hyun’s real name was actually Lee Suk-kyu, who joined the Agency for National Security Planning (former National Intelligence Agency(NIS)) in the 1980s. Jeong-hyun was also approached by a NIS agent Do Yeong-geol ( Jung Man-sik) who threatened him to stop Yeon-soo from accepting the director position at Corruption Investigation Office, otherwise he would let Jeong-hyun’s real identity be known to Yeon-soo. At the same time, a lady also requested her to help to investigate the bizarre death of her husband, who was concluded to have committed suicide but his death was questionable. She would need to drop Jung-ho’s case if she were to take up the position. Yeon-soo had been trying to get a retrial for her client and friend of 30 years, Hwang Jung-ho ( Choi Kwang-il) who had been wronged for a murder he did not commit, when she was given the chance to be appointed as the director of the Corruption Investigation Office. The youngest daughter Han Seung-mi ( Lee Jae-in) was smart and mature for her age, and took good care of her brother. Jeong-hyun’s eldest son Han Seung-goo ( Yoo Seon-ho) was autistic, so Jeong-hyun also opened a bicycle shop for Seung-goo to take care of himself. Jeong-hyun was willing to be a house-husband so that his wife Yeon-soo could focus on being a human right lawyer. The story was about Han Jeong-hyun ( Ji Jin-hee) happily married to Choi Yeon-soo ( Kim Hyun-joo) with 2 children. I was initially quite excited about this drama due to the cast, became disappointed after a couple of episodes, partly due to the fact that the pairs Jin Ji-hee/Kim Hyun-joo and Yeon Woo-jin/Han Sun-hwa were mutually exclusive. (It’s also a reunion between PD Song Hyun-wook and Ji Jin-hee, as they worked together on the 2015 mini drama Lucid Dream.) Let’s see if JTBC can capture the magic (and ratings) that they had with their last BBC remake, A Couple’s World with Undercover.Personally, I find the story progress of this drama very slow even when watching at 2x, as the story background seemed a bit thin for a 16-episode drama, resulting the story to be much overstretched. I’m pretty excited to see our lead pair back together (this is their second project together, the first being I Have a Lover) and both of them do so well with the thriller genre generally so I have high hopes for this project. Ji Jin-hee is indeed hiding something, and the discovery of his secret could have Kim Hyun-joo questioning the very foundations of their relationship. But, (and there’s always a “but”) as Kim Hyun-joo’s star rises at her workplace and she’s nominated for a political appointment, she begins to have suspicions about who her husband really is. Ji Jin-hee and Kim Hyun-joo headline as a married couple who, by all appearances, have a normal and healthy marriage. 30 ApApPremiere Watch: Undercover by stroopwafelĭramaland has just one new show premiering this week and our sole newbie is a remake of an acclaimed British show of the same name.
