Moving

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

Moving (2023, South Korea)

Directors: Park In Je & Park Younseo

Writer: Kang Full

Mini-review:

I enjoyed this so much. I must admit I struggled a bit with the first few episodes, but once the show gets its setup process out of the way, it becomes a very engrossing drama. It's both a superhero story with a big heart and a espionage thriller, and I just love how Moving manages to mix those two genres. The whole cast is great, both the veteran actors and the newcomers, and the production values are fantastic (although the CGI has some iffy moments here and there). The ending felt a bit rushed, but it was also very satisfying. There are also a few scenes that point to a possible second season or spin-off, and I really hope we get some sort of follow-up. After spending seven weeks with these characters, I know I'm gonna miss them.

blood free v secret forest, a quick and dirty comparison:-

As someone who fell for Kdrama through Stranger, i loved it because it appeared seamless, grounded and weaved several systems and levels of privilege very elegantly. Most of all it seemed morally urgent, even if it was at its core a detective mystery. (Which, to be fair, Blood Free is as well.)

Secret Forest’s first success was that it held nuance for everyone in the middle of the road; LSY afforded so much thoughtful shading to those men. I often think they will never look as beautiful as they do on SF, and that’s only partly because of whoever did the lighting etc, but they’re not Kdrama glossy perfect; they’re real people trying to reckon with themselves and the moral calculus they have agreed to, and their dignity comes from the reckoning. Lee Chang-joon, Kang Won-chul, Lee Yeon-jae, even Seo Dong-jae for that matter, all have that advantage. LSY managed this for Jung Sung-il in the scant few minutes of screen time he had.

The second success was Cho Seung-woo and Bae Doona. If Secret Forest was a universe they were its gravitational field; it was their fierce sense of honour and morality that drives both seasons. And their moral decency is hard-won; it is tested constantly, and it’s burnished at each opportunity, which is why they are respected. It is a dream that people like that can influence or impact those around them, but you don’t question that they do, by the end of each season, and that’s the victory of writing, casting and the charisma of both leads.

That’s why that funeral scene in season 1 is so important (to me); it shows the gravity shifting. The prosecutors rely on their forest of secrets to keep the centre together, but Hwang Si-mok demonstrates how untenable this has become, how the roots must be pulled out so the weeds die; so new healthy things can grow. The chaebols are at the periphery, and they continue to be there because, most audaciously of all, they don’t matter if enough people shift their moral calculus. I think this gravitational pull happens to Lee Chang-joon in season 1 thanks to Hwang Si-mok and it happens to Choi Bit in season 2 thanks to Han Yeo-jin. They are easily some of the most powerful parts of the show.

On the other hand, we have Blood Free. I’m not sure who the moral gravitational field of this show is meant to be. Maybe it’s Yun Ja-yu and/or Woo Chae-woon. Maybe it’s Lee Mu-saeng. Maybe it’s about the ethical dilemma of experimentation and whether that’s a worthwhile price to pay for the scientific advancements in cultured meat and seafood. Perhaps we need more time to really see the middle of the road characters, but four episodes in there’s not much to go on: there’s Lee Mu-saeng, there’s Queen Dowager as a VP, here’s Jeon Seok-ho. There are three chaebols, all of whom seem like one-note characters to me. (Why ask a talented sketch artist to produce cartoons like these? Unless they’re not, but nothing seems to suggest otherwise.)

The most interesting insight from episode 4 was about Yun Jayu - when offered 72 trillion won for her company, she actually considers it because it means she doesn’t have to face investors and can focus on research. She has influence and money but these are means to an end, for her. I wish we could see more of that, and not necessarily through exposition alone.

When she gives deft, cool answers to reporters, did that come naturally to her or did she work at it? Is she the face of the company because she hated it a little less than Lee Mu-saeng did? If so, why? What comparative advantage did they determine she had? When she wears Chanel tweed skirts and smiles her way through presentations, is that a natural extension of her work or is that a mask she wears? Give me process, guys! Give us the backstory, the way the markets work, the environment for cutting-edge bio research in Korea, the reaction of Big Meat, the interplay of new rich and old rich, some indication of her actual influence (which must be considerably more than what we see on the show, although what little we see, while uncomfortable, is frankly not that inconceivable in a world where you’re constantly connected.) I am so interested in her, and yet I feel I am made to watch the story of her reacting to chaebols and to the mystery of corporate sabotage rather than her being the fulcrum of her own universe. And at no point does the mystery seem morally urgent to me, and it’s because 1) why does it matter if all this is is a giant M&A negotiation 2) why should we care if it doesn’t feel real to us? So what if there’s sabotage? Why on earth isn’t this company guarded like fucking Fort Knox? Why is this company ostensibly so influential, so powerful and yet capable of unusually amateurish errors that are the centre of the show so far and not on the periphery of it? Where is the moral quandary that is meant to grab us by the throat?

Is it a question of the writing? Have her interests shifted and did she want to do a show without having to do too much character work? If anyone has earned a vibes-only moment it’s Lee Soo-yeon, and I respect that for her. I hope the direction isn’t stifling the writing, because that means there is an arresting, politically trenchant drama underneath this dry procedural, and that’s upsetting to consider. We still have a ways to go and I think there is potential, but I have to remind myself not to expect something like SF, that maybe you can’t bottle that formula. That it’s the gold standard for a reason. But honestly, Disney, in the words of TikTok star imo_unusual, you’ve made this show like God was dozing off when the angels were working, now RELEASE US (and LSY writernim)

NO ROMANCE? NO PROBLEM! THESE K-DRAMA DUOS PLACE TEAMWORK OVER ROMANCE.

Platonic teamwork works great!

Romance is nice and all, but sometimes we don’t want to be bombarded with relationships and lovey-dovey antics. Also, romance doesn’t need to be prominent in order to keep us hooked. There’s a growing trend of platonic duos showcasing friendship and teamwork over focusing on the romantics. Many of these duos feature polar opposites who complement each other very well as they strive for success with their goals. Here are some of our favorite dynamic duos that proves there’s more to K-dramas than romantic walks in the rain.

The School Nurse Files

The School Nurse Files showcases a sweet partnership between school nurse Ahn Eun-young (Jung Yu-mi) and teacher Hong In-pyo (Nam Joo-hyuk). Eun-young is able to see the hidden world of jellies and fight them. In-pyo is a perfect partner for her because he has a protective aura that energizes her jelly-fighting powers. While romance is definitely a possibility for them, their relationship is grounded in their friendship and they come to regard each other as kindred spirits. It’s especially heartwarming to see them come together in fighting the jelly world because of their outcast backgrounds.

Stranger

Both seasons of Stranger unite Prosecutor Hwang Si-mok (Cho Seung-woo) and Police Inspector Han Yeo-jin (Bae Doo-na) in solving tough cases together. Si-mok had brain surgery as a child which affected his ability to feel emotions. On the other hand, Yeo-jin is empathetic and enjoys doodling. Even though prosecutors and police officers don’t always cooperate effectively, Si-mok and Yeo-jin are a great duo because they place importance on justice over politics. While working together, they become able to understand each other as friends and succeed in some major sleuthing.

Extracurricular

In Extracurricular, Oh Ji-soo (Kim Dong-hee) is a quiet high school student running an illicit enterprise. Bae Gyu-ri (Park Ju-hyun) is a popular classmate who surprisingly wants in on his business despite coming from a wealthy family. While Gyu-ri causes Ji-soo some hiccups initially, she has some ideas that help expand the business. Despite coming from different backgrounds, Ji-soo and Gyu-ri realize they share similarities and come to rely on each other. In fact, they begin to trust each other more than they trust their own parents. Together, they try to overcome extremely dangerous and difficult situations.

My Mister

My Mister shows Lee Ji-an (IU) and Park Dong-hoon (Lee Sun-kyun) facing incredibly difficult situations. Ji-an struggles with poverty, loan sharks, and taking care of her elderly grandmother. Dong-hoon is dealing with being mistreated and his wife cheating on him with the company CEO. While Ji-an gets paid to spy on Dong-hoon in order to get him fired, she ends up realizing that he is a really good person. In their brokenness, Ji-an and Dong-hoon help each other heal and re-direct their paths. While forming their unusual friendship, they confront the bad guys in their lives.

Voice

Kang Kwon-ju (Lee Ha-na) is a policewoman gifted with extraordinary hearing and Moo Jin-hyuk (Jang Hyuk) is a determined detective in Voice S1. They both lose loved ones to a serial killer — Kwon-ju loses her father and Jin-hyuk loses his wife. Taking advantage of their separate strengths, the pair form a strong partnership. Kwon-joo works from the emergency call center as she listens to the tiniest details while Jin-hyuk works at the scene as they help people in emergencies. They continue their effective teamwork with their efforts to bring the serial killer to justice.

#ALIVE

#ALIVE shows another great complementary cooperation between Kim Yu-bin (Park Shin-hye) and Oh Jun-u (Yoo Ah-in). The apartment complex neighbors have different interests which end up helping their efforts to survive. Yu-bin’s camping and climbing gear assists them as does Jun-u’s handy drone. Despite not knowing each other prior to the zombie outbreak, they don’t hesitate to help one another and they’re able to rely on each other in their scary new world. It’s great seeing very different people unite to assist each other in their survival.

Kingdom

Kingdom’s Crown Prince Lee Chang (Ju Ji-hoon) and Seo-bi (Bae Doo-na) also fight zombies, but in Korea’s Joseon era. Under normal circumstances, an heir to the throne would not spend much time with a physician’s assistant, much less work together to save the kingdom. However, they overlook their differences in status and respect one another due to their shared interest in helping people over saving their own lives. They lead a two-pronged approach with Lee Chang leading the physical battles against zombies, and Seo-bi figuring out the origins and effects of the mysterious plant.

So many great pairs to love! Which duos are your favorites?

Tag game : Top 5 male characters

I got tagged by @izzy-jellybaby

I didn't know if it was just bl characters or not so I'll just do two lists :

1. Saint Suppapong as Tutor. ( Why R U the series)

It is Saint's best role to date. The character is complex, the acting is superb, the emotions displayed are amazing. He's not just a stern guy with problems, he can be soft, he can be strong. He's perfect.

Okay. I had to choose a sensual gif.

2. Off Jumpol as Khai (Theory of Love)

I just love Khai. His development, his whole character. Yes he was a dumb asshole in the beginning but he grew up. His acting, man his acting. He was soooo good. He made me cry. His emotions were displayed so well. He loved his friends, he made mistakes but made amends for them too. And in the end, all the shit that the others throw at him, he just accepts it. It hurt me. When he wasn't at fault for the kiss with girl and everyone blamed him, he blamed himself and I wanted to just hug him and tell him, no it's not. He's my baby.

This gif. Haha.

3. Gun as Third (Theory of Love)

Gun is such an amazing actor and I loved Third's struggles. He's shown to be a pushover at first, but as the show progresses his character completely changes. He knows when to stand his ground, he knows how to protect himself and others. He might be hurting but he's not cruel. He's strong and he shows it throughout the series. I love him.

4. Nut Nutchapong as Nueng (Grey Rainbow)

Grey Rainbow in itself is such a touching show. It's gentle and warm and heartwarming, heartbreaking as well. I had difficulty choosing in between Porsche and Nueng but I prefer Nueng I guess. The moment he realised that both of them loved each other, he went all in. He loved with all his heart, whether it was Jean or Porsche. He was so compassionate, so straightforward, so perfect in every sense. A person like Nueng can not be forgotten. He's the kind of guy that could warm up the coldest heart with his earnestness. He loved Porsche. Their moments as just friends, the way he cared for him after the incident, the way he was always so worried about him. Aah. The feels. The acting was superb.

5. Fandy Fan as Hsia Yu Hao (History 2: Crossing the Line)

This is such a cute show. So adorable. Fandy was sooooooo cute. He fell in love with Qui Zi Xuan and was just a pupppppy. He kept doing things for him, staring at him, being happy at being complimented. He was soo cute that I couldn't take my eyes off him.

Just look at the puppy

Honorable mention: Nine Kornchid as Kit (2 moons 2)

Nine owned the role. Out of all the 2 moons characters, Kit was the one with the most story to work with I think. His character was snarky, sarcastic, had a good wholesome love story, from being wooed and being flustered and then developing the relationship and trust. Kit was a trustworthy and good friend, an intelligent to-be doctor, straight and snarky with words, but a total teddy bear. He didn't like the games Ming played, but didn't want to hurt him. He didn't want to believe in love, but felt happy being wooed.

Plus I love nine so. No gif for nine, because only 10 gifs allowed per post. So....

Top 5 male characters in general

1. Lee Min Ho as Gu Jun Pyo (Boys over flowers)

It was any first ever kdrama and Gu Jun Pyo. Aah I have no words. He's hilarious. And lovable. And funny and cute and everything. He was so stupid and dumb but so pitiful at the same time. How he could suddenly believe that Geum Jan Do likes him? That scene still cracks me up to this day

2. Ji Chang Wook as Seo Jung Ho (Healer)

My favorite kdrama to date, Ji Chang Wook was amaaaazing as healer. All rounded, hot, sometimes adorable, always fiesty and intelligent. He was so well matched with Park Min Young. She was as strong as him. He never undermined her and they always moved shoulder to shoulder, side by side. I loved the feminist vibes as a whole.

Gif is the semi naked one, cz why not.

3. Cho Seung Woo as Hwang Shi Mok (Secret Forest)

Cho Seung Woo is a brilliant actor and this serial, OMG the suspense, the ease with which it's done. It's perfect. He was cool calm composed, unearthing secrets, tenacious. He couldn't feel but he was so hurt by the ones they lost. Aah. Hwang Shi Mok. U are a gem.

4. Park Hyeung Shik as Ahn Min Hyuk (Strong Woman Do Bong Soon)

Aaaah Park Hyeung Shik was sooooo cute here. He was perfect. He loved Do Bong Soon just as she was, loved her strength. He was always so supportive of her and he was super duper intelligent and fun loving.

5. Nam Joo Hyuk as Jung Joon Hyun (Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo)

The bestest friend, the perfect loving boyfriend, funny, hot body and all around a beautiful person. Need I say more?

Volcanic Age 35

Shaanxi, Mount Hua.

“Don’t forgive me!”

Gu Pung bowed his head so low, it almost touched the ground.

“Senior brother…”

Yu Jong Mok had a troubled expression.

Even if the both of them were third generation disciples, Gu Pung was the best of their generation. Receiving an apology like this would only make Yu Jong Mok troubled.

“I couldn’t fulfill my responsibilities as the guardian of the Lotus Peak. Because of you, your disciple got sacrificed… I’m really sorry.” Gu Pung’s voice was filled with guilt. He wasn’t even able to raise his head properly.

About three weeks ago, he won against Yook Dae Rang miraculously and survived but he wasn’t able to save Ju Seo Cheon.

He reported it to Mount Hua and patrolled for a few days with the warriors of the Murim Association but they couldn’t find him.

They wanted to look for them for a little bit longer but an urgent order to return was sent so he had to take the members of the Lotus Peak and return to Mount Hua.

He had continued searching without stopping but he wasn’t able to get a clue and returned not long ago.

In reality, it was no different from having come to a conclusion that he was dead.

“It’s all my fault. If I had believed in your disciple even a little, things wouldn’t have turned like this.” In addition, Ju Seo Cheon’s evaluation was completely overturned.

There was no one that called him the flashy yet frail one anymore.

Everyone was surprised by Ju Seo Cheon’s performance.

They got amazed at his attitude of not minding the disdain from his surroundings at all working hard on learning more, all the while hiding his strength and skills.

That’s why it was all the more regrettable.

They couldn’t stop lamenting having lost that kind of genius.

---------

Yu Jong Mong had been in Kang Ho for a long time since he became a pinnacle expert. But one day, he heard news about Ju Seo Cheon and returned hurriedly to Mount Hua, and that day was today.

Gu Pung, who was staying in Mount Hua, heard notices about Yu Jong Mok returning and went to find him first to bow.

“I would like to go to the Nine Fleets of the Water Forest and get revenge but…” He wasn’t able to move because of his situation.

Even the Murim Alliance was investigating this matter.

There was no way Yook Dae Rang would suddenly ambush the members of the Lotus Peak and the direct descendants of the Zhuge Family if he hadn’t turned insane.

On top of that, based on the information they had it was said that the ships were regulated on purpose in case the group crossed the Yangtze River in small groups.

They were doubting that there may be something behind it as it was a systematic ambush.

“Even though I don’t have a disciple, that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what sadness, rage and pain that comes when losing a disciple means. It doesn’t matter for me so please, resent and despise me.” The masters were like parents for their disciples, and that meant that the disciples were like children for the masters.

Although they shared no blood at all, they were connected by love and a connection that was beyond that.

“I won’t ever….”

Yu Jong Mok wasn’t just listening silently since before. He had tried to calm him down but Gu Pung only repeated similar words and continued to apologize. It seemed like he was yelling at him to kill him.

“Senior brother.” In the end, Yu Jong Mok had to interrupt Gu Pung inevitably.

“Yes.” Gu Pung put on a determined face.

But the words that came out from Yu Jong Mok were completely different from what he was waiting for.

“I’m fine so don’t be like that.” “Fellow brother.”

“Acting like that is harder for me.” Yu Jong Mok smiled bitterly and his eyes seemed somewhat complicated.

“It hasn’t been long since I returned to Mount Hua from Kang Ho. It seems like my body and mind are a bit tired that I need some time alone. I guess that’s why I could feel all those gazes on me.”

“....I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking straight.” Gu Pung apologized once again with a dark expression. Yu Jong Mok couldn’t even remember how many times he had apologized.

“So can you leave me alone for the moment?” “Right, I understand. I’m really sorry for not having been considerate. Have some rest.”

Gu Pung left. His two shoulders were weighing with guilt.

Yu Jong Mok confirmed that Gu Pung had left and let out a sigh.

“Seo Cheon, you were much more amazing than what this master of yours thought.” He raised his right hand and checked his bosom. A folded letter came out from it.

Yu Jong Mok received a letter when rumors about his disciple spread and it reached the branch of the Murim Association he was at.

The disciple, that was known to be dead, was the sender.

The contents written in the letter was too long. But if you were to summarize it was that he was safe but was asking his master to keep it a secret.

That he was sorry to have made him worry and that he would certainly return with Zhuge Seung Kye.

“I’m worried about you so don’t be too late.” Yu Jong Mok raised his head and looked at the sky. It was clear weather with no clouds at all.

Weng An, the Golden Business Organization.

Lee Ui Chae ended up buying a house in Weng An as he was mostly active there.

The prices of the houses in Weng An were so cheap it made you doubt about it but it wasn’t weird at all if you thought about the characteristics of Weng An.

People that looked like martial artists were gathered in front of the courtyard. There were ten of them and Ju Seo Cheon had checked them when he entered.

Nine were second rate and only one of them was first rate, that was close to reach the peak.

“It’s fine if their abilities aren’t that good. The most important thing is trust. It doesn’t matter about the treasury because it will get known later but the group has to be composed by people that won’t escape with the treasures.” “You don’t have to worry if it’s that.” Lee Ui Chae put on a reliable smile.

“You aren’t going to say something like they are reliable because they are your blood relatives, right? If that is the case, then I will have to decline. This is a world where even siblings kill each other for treasures.” “I’m not such a naive person, great master.” Lee Ui Chae spoke, telling him not to worry.

“The people that are outside are all people that treasure their own families. Also, there’s a person each in their families that they have to support.” “You didn’t take their families as hostages, right?” Zhuge Seung Kye frowned and asked.

“Oh my, young noble Zhuge. I’m not such an evil person.” Lee Ui Chae shook his hands.

“I made a deal with them. That if they were loyal to me, I would treat and heal their families for free.” There are times when people did anything for their treasured people and Lee Ui Chae used that love.

“I only searched for people that won’t be able to hold a few days without my assistance. And, I also investigated their character beforehand. Shouldn’t we also consider a situation where they escape with their families after they obtain some treasures? Hohoho!”

‘What should I call this?’

Ju Seo Cheon got astounded.

It wasn’t a threat but if you thought about it well, it was no different from a threat.

It was a situation where you could think of it like ‘I may kill your family if you betray me.’

But it was also vague to say that he was evil

In the first place, they were unrelated to each other. Lee Ui Chae had no sense of duty to take care of their families by spending a lot of money for it.

Lee Ui Chae had only offered a deal, not a threat and the ones that accepted were themselves.

‘His ability on dealing with people is ghostlike, just like the rumors said.’

Being outstanding in business meant that he was also good at negotiating.

The Merchant King noticed the intentions of the people like a ghost and knew exactly what they wanted.

And he utilized that to get the most of the profit.

The subjects for that didn’t differentiate between forces such as the Righteous Faction, Demonic Faction, Death Sect or the Blood Sect.

It wasn’t for show that he stayed alive until the age of war ended.

‘That’s why he is also a scary person.’

Lee Ui Chae understood the emotions of the people better than anyone else. He had to understand them to use that as a means to earn money.

There was no empathy or sympathy behind his understanding. There was no disdain, scorn, rage or sympathy at all.

He was simply using them as a means to earn money.

“I already told the warriors that they would be raiding a tomb.” “How did you introduce me to them?” “I said that you were an expert whose words had to be followed with no complaints. They are people that don’t know your face or young noble’s Zhuge so you don’t have to worry about that.” “Well done. The treasury is in Chongqing. The exact location is here, so send people to a nearby village. We need means to contact you quickly when we return.”

Ju Seo Cheon handed out a coded map.

“And this is a decodification method. Memorize it all and burn it down.” “Ohh, as expected of the great master! Knowledge that can even slap on the honor of Zhuge Liang! You are really omniscient!” Lee Ui Chae got impressed in an exaggerated manner and hit his forehead with his palm.

“Kya! This small merchant got so impressed that tears are about to fall.”

“Cry then.” “Men shouldn’t shed tears easily.” Lee Ui Chae handed out a pocket that contained travel expenses.

“I will be assisting your trip from the side and from somewhere they can’t see me. Raid up to the heart of the treasury. But of course, you know that treasures are more important than bones right?” “Head merchant, wipe your drool first.” “Hut! I made a mistake. Let’s meet again later, then. I hope you have a safe trip.” Ju Seo Cheon took Zhuge Seung Kye and the ten warriors Lee Ui Chae gave him and left for Chongqing.

Chongqing was filled with martial artists of the Righteous Faction to search for Ju Seo Cheon and Zhuge Seung Kye but that wasn’t the case now.

They couldn’t even see any pirates. It was because the Eighteen Strongholds of the Monsoon Rain had given out an order to be prudent on plundering for the moment.

“They want us to believe in that kid that has just started to grow pubic hair?” The warriors got dumbfounded when they first saw Ju Seo Cheon, before their expedition began.

It was because the expert the head merchant had introduced was a youth that had just come of age.

In the Midlands, one became an adult at fifteen years old. That meant that he wasn’t even a youth.

If they had known that Ju Seo Cheon was actually only twelve, they may have convulsed.

“Sh, shout your mouths. It seems like he really is an expert.” The only first rate warrior among the ten of them raised his index finger and placed it on his lips. He was telling them to shut up.

Experts recognized low ranks but contrary to that, low ranks couldn’t recognize an expert.

“Is that true brother Wang?”

Brother Wang was the first rate warrior, Wang il.

The name Wang il was old fashioned but he was still a first rate warrior that almost reached the peak. He was someone that had grown up to that boundary from the pit so he was that respected and also had many people following him.

“Is he really a martial artist?”

Normal people didn’t learn martial arts and that’s why there was no rank.

It was obvious for them to not recognize it.

“You must have also seen clearly the steps of captain Ju or his posture with no openings.”

“Mm.” “Don’t look away because of your pride. And even if he is not an expert, we must obey his orders. Didn’t the head merchant say so before leaving Weng An?” “I’m sorry brother Wang.” “There’s no need to apologize to me. Apologize to captain Ju when we are resting later. The head merchant may see us in a bad light if we make a mistake.”

Worth mentioning:

I know this is a list of all kdramas I’ve liked, but I think it’s worth mentioning an awesome jdrama => Boku, Unmei no Hito desu

What are your favorites?

WHY PEOPLE ARE BUZZING ABOUT STRANGER S2 : INTENSE INTRIGUE + EVERYONE IS A SUSPECT

Can you find the culprit?

All the puzzle pieces in the crime series Stranger S2 are coming together as our favorite crime-solving duo team up to find missing Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae (Lee Joon-hyuk). While Prosecutor Hwang Si-mok (Cho Seung-woo) and Police Inspector Han Yeo-jin (Bae Doo-na) retrace Dong-jae’s steps, they discover that cases brought up earlier appear to be related to his disappearance. What makes the series so interesting is the brain-racking mystery and how suspicious all the characters are. Enjoy sleuthing alongside the duo and check out the possible culprits here.

Choi Bit

Most of the primary suspects are new characters in the second season, including Chief Choi (Jeon Hye-jin). Choi Bit has no qualms about bending the truth for the good of the police. She can be hot-headed and calculative. Prior to Seo Dong-jae’s disappearance, Choi Bit was concerned about him prying into the case of Police Sergeant Song Gi-hyeon (Lee Ga-sub)’s death. Now she’s worried about the public thinking that a police officer might be behind Dong-jae’s kidnapping. She’s clearly nervous and has something to hide, but could she be responsible for Dong-jae?

Woo Tae-ha

Both Choi Bit and Chief Prosecutor Woo Tae-ha (Choi Moo-sung) seem bothered about the fact that Seo Dong-jae was looking into the death of prosecutor turned lawyer Park Gwang-su (Seo Jin-won) before his abduction. However, Woo Tae-ha might be experiencing more difficulty in trying to appear nonchalant. He’s on edge and doesn’t want Hwang Si-mok to dig too deep. Tae-ha already lied about the other file Dong-jae gave him and spoke to Park Gwang-su’s wife secretly. Could he be involved in Dong-jae’s abduction?

Lee Yeon-jae

Lee Yeon-jae (Yoon Se-a) is now in charge of Hanjo and embroiled in a power struggle with her brother Lee Sung-jae. She’s determined to keep her position and continue rebuilding Hanjo’s reputation. Could she be entangled in some dirty dealings though? When Dong-jae brought up Park Gwang-su’s death she jokingly asked if she had killed him. Furthermore, before Dong-jae’s disappearance Yeon-jae cryptically says, “There was one more,” after receiving a supportive text message from Dong-jae. However, Yeon-jae may not be directly involved in his disappearance because she does appear to be worried about him.

Kim Sa-hyun

Prosecutor Kim Sa-hyun (Kim Young-jae) joined Woo Tae-ha and Hwang Si-mok to represent the prosecution for the Prosecution-Police Council Meeting. He comes off a bit arrogant and annoying at first, but he seems different after Dong-jae’s disappearance. Sa-hyun has a bit of a heart-to-heart with Si-mok when he talks about having known the late Lee Chang-jun (Yu Jae-myeong) and being affected by his passing even though he had not seen him for 13 years. He also notes that if a police officer is responsible for Dong-jae’s kidnapping then the investigative authority fight between the police and the prosecution is over. Sa-hyun seems harmless, but you never know what could happen in this series.

Kang Won-chul

Chief Prosecutor Kang Won-chul (Park Seong-keun) quickly signed off on the ruling for the Tongyeong drowning case which wrapped it up in a short amount of time. While Si-mok didn’t disagree with the ruling, there are some signs that show Won-chul might have changed since the first season. He’s in a higher position of power than before, and his meeting with prosecutor turned lawyer Oh Ju-seon (Kim Hak-sun) reveals that Won-chul might be considering what to do with his career after leaving the prosecution someday. Is Kang Won-chul still trustworthy?

Lee Sung-jae

We have yet to see Lee Yeon-jae’s brother Lee Sung-jae. We do know that he’s ambitious and eager to take over control of Hanjo. Seo Dong-jae got involved when Yeon-jae asked him to speak to her father on her behalf. Although he wasn’t able to get inside her father’s residence, he did succeed with investigating and discovering some medication in the trash. This information helped Yeon-jae realize her father’s current state. What if Lee Sung-jae found out about Dong-jae sneaking around and reporting to Yeon-jae? Would he have played a hand in his disappearance?

Jeon Seung-pyo

Former Dongducheon Chief Jeon Seung-pyo (Moon Jong-won) is a favorite potential suspect amongst many viewers. He’s got anger issues and is implicated in two of the three cases Dong-jae was looking into. The first case centers around his demotion after assaulting his driver. This was the case that Woo Tae-ha pretended to have forgotten in front of Hwang Si-mok. He was also questioned for whether or not he was involved in Song Gi-hyeon getting transferred to the precinct where Jeon Seung-pyo’s nephew works. Yeo-jin and Si-mok observed that Seung-pyo could have overpowered Dong-jae, but is he guilty of attacking him?

Kim Su-hang

Kim Su-hang (Kim Beom-su) is Jeon Seung-pyo’s nephew and finished serving his sentence for receiving bribes. We know he had an antagonistic relationship with the deceased Song Gi-hyeon, but he claims to have repented upon being questioned by Yeo-jin. Su-hang’s employer described him as a hardworking person and well-liked by the elders. Is he truly a changed person, or is he just putting on an act? While he has an alibi, is it possible that there’s an accomplice?

Baek Jung-gi

Police team leader Baek Jung-gi (Jung Seung-gil) seemed pretty guilty earlier on. It appeared as though he was receiving bribes and potentially guilty of killing Song Gi-hyeon. When questioned after a witness comes forward, Jung-gi appears more innocent. He does seem genuinely remorseful about leading his team to accept bribes in order for Lee Dae-seong (Park Sung-il) to afford his ill mother’s medication. However, when the Segok officers are walking to the room to be identified by the witness, Jung-gi is the only officer who knows that there is a witness. Did he just hear it from colleagues or is he more involved than he lets on?

Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae’s Wife

Seo Dong-jae’s wife (Choi Hee-seo) reacts atypically at the news of her husband’s disappearance. When the police check the DNA of the blood stain at the scene against her child’s cheek swab, she appears more worried about her children than her missing husband. However, she does film a video pleading for any witnesses to come forward. When Jang Geon (Choi Jae-woong) shows her the photo of Dong-jae’s bloody tie, she cries and pleads for help. However, when she watches the news with her son later, she looks oddly detached as she reassures her son that the news is not about his father. Is she hiding something?

The Father of One of the Drowning Victims

The Tongyeong drowning case was the very first case we saw in the second season. There’s got to be more to the case than what we’ve seen thus far. The father of one of the drowning victims was visited by Choi Bit, Seo Dong-jae, and Han Yeo-jin separately. While he initially believed it was a simple drowning accident, the case became scrutinized for potential mishandling. Yeo-jin remembered the older, wooden flooring at the father’s home but has kept the information to herself. Is it just a coincidence or is the father involved with Dong-jae’s disappearance?

Aside from the characters mentioned already, there are plenty more suspicious people to consider. Some that come to mind include Prosecutor Jeong Min-ha (Park Ji-yeon) who might harbor feelings for Dong-jae, and Lee Yeon-jae’s right-hand man Director Park (Jung Sung-il), who seems a bit shady. The culprit could even be someone not mentioned on this list at all. However, it’s clear that most of these people are hiding secrets. Only time will tell as Si-mok and Yeo-jin work together to expose the secrets. In the meantime, hang in there Dong-jae!

Don’t forget to tune in and watch Stranger S2, only on Netflix. Catch the culprit yourself!

Synopsis: In the midst of a power clash between prosecutors and police, Hwang Si-mok (Cho Seung-woo) and Han Yeo-jin (Bae Doo-na) reunite to uncover murky secrets as they pursue a labyrinth of intertwined cases.

Jong-su se reencuentra con una antigua compañera de colegio, Hae-mi, con quien comienza poco así como una relación; sin secuestro, ella se va de receso a África dejándole un micifuz a su cuidado. Cuando ella regresa, lo hace acompañada de Ben, un muchacho que parece ser la antítesis de Jong-su, pues no solo tiene gran poder adquisitivo, sino que además conquista a Hae-mi con detalles exquisitos y tiene una diversión extraña por incendiar graneros abandonados. Así, comienza una historia de encuentros y desencuentros entre tres personajes que intentan encontrar el significado de sus vidas.
