«Insider“, means “insider”, the new jTBC drama premiered this June 8 in Korea, with Kang Ha Neul in the leading role with Lee Yoo-young Y Heo Sung Tae. The starting ratings for this 16-episode story of Action, Thriller and Drama genres were 2,568% and 3,274%. The address is from the PD Min Yeon Hong («Missing the Other Side«) and the script is from the writer Moon Mae Sae who wrote the drama before «Priest«, from 2018 for OCN. I really can’t decide if I will continue this story, the first episodes show a lot of darkness and violence. It is, again, a story of revenge, corruption, betrayal and injustice. I say again, because I just saw «Again my Life» that at least had some fantasy to make it less heavy and right now we have two other recently started dramas on screen with revenge at the center of their plot. I think I’ll give it one more week to decide, with only two episodes, I can’t be sure I want to follow it. According to his synopsis: «Insider» tells the story of a judicial trainee named Kim Yo Han. After going undercover for an investigation, Kim Yo Han experiences a crisis and ends up struggling to try to get a hand of cards that will change his destiny while playing in prison. Kim Yo Han is cautious and always thinks a few moves ahead, and he keeps a poker face. Although he finds himself in a dangerous situation by being involved in an unexpected incident during the investigation, he will continue to fight for survival and growth with his ability to turn a crisis into an opportunity. As usual, we begin with the dramatic state of Kim Yo Han’s life, a young man preparing to become a prosecutor, emulating his father whom he lost as a child, which led him to live with his grandmother from then on. moment. There are two prosecutors who intend to create or strengthen the Anti-Corruption Agency to control the excesses into which many of the prosecutors fall, it is assumed that they were close friends of his father and they convince the young Kim Yo Han to enter a gambling den to destroy a house of game and stop the gang that controls it. The undercover operation works, but Kim Yo Han finds himself on the spot with a prosecutor who then betrays him to protect his father, who was being hunted by the Anti-Corruption Agency for his crimes. Power and ambition make one of the prosecutors who supported our protagonist lose his life at the hands of the corrupt, even so, the other prosecutor insists on sending Kim Yo Han in another undercover operation, although he knows that he will not protect him. if something goes wrong again, which it does. Now it is not only Kim Yo Han who is in danger and is taken to prison as guilty of gambling and gambling, even his poor grandmother is killed to send a message to him. Kim Yo Han discovers that the prison where he is locked up is a large-scale gambling den, a degrading place where even the lives of prisoners are staked on those with a little more authority, from the guards, the prison head, and politicians. who visit the place to have fun. When Kim Yo Han finds himself alone and left to his own devices, he decides that it is not time to give up yet, he chooses to polish his skills as a player to get the attention of the prison boss, with that, he may find an inmate who tried something report someone powerful involved in the crime of games and bets. Along the way, Kim Yo Han seeks to recover his freedom and his life, after all, he was about to become a prosecutor, now he too must find the murderer of the only family he had. Who is behind all this filth and corruption? I don’t really know what kind of character Oh Soo Yeon is (Lee Yoo-young), for now she presents herself as a “merchant” but it is clear that she has unsuspected links, so we still don’t know what her goal is? And the antagonist, so far known, is played by Heo Sung Tae, who plays the prosecutor Yoon Byung Wook, someone who knows a lot of things and who tried to co-opt Kim Yo Han, but our protagonist decided to continue trusting those he knows as his father’s friends. But in fact Yoon Byung Wook is in a power struggle with prosecutor Mok Jin Hyung, the only one of those friends left alive. Who is friend and who is enemy? Is it possible to distinguish good from evil in this story where it seems that all the weight is on the shoulders of the talent and image of Kang Ha Neul? Well, it will have to be seen in the following episodes, for now it is not that I have felt trapped and with so much to see this month, the truth is that this does not attract much attention.
