The series opens with an intense and gripping scene set in the war-torn Middle East, introducing Kim Je-ha (Ji Chang-wook), a former mercenary who is now a fugitive. He's on the run, framed for a crime he didn’t commit during his military service in Iraq. The tension is palpable from the start as Je-ha hides, trying to evade capture by local forces. The gritty action sets the tone for Je-ha’s hardened, survivalist nature, and his skills as a former soldier shine through as he manages to escape with his life.
After making his way back to South Korea, Je-ha remains on the run, living under the radar. He’s a man haunted by his past and by a tragic event that left him emotionally scarred. His return to Seoul feels like a constant battle between staying hidden and the looming danger of those who wronged him.
Political Intrigue Introduced:
Meanwhile, the show cuts to the world of high-stakes South Korean politics. We meet Choi Yoo-jin (Song Yoon-ah), the wife of presidential candidate Jang Se-joon (Jo Sung-ha). She is a powerful, ruthless woman with a controlling hand in her husband’s campaign. Choi Yoo-jin runs JSS Security, a private security firm, and has deep ties to both legal and underground political machinations. Her cold, calculated demeanor immediately establishes her as a force to be reckoned with.
