“If things go wrong, it could escalate to World War 3.” Wow this looks like it might be terrific – this trailer is a must watch. Hulu has debuted the main official trailer for a Korean conspiracy thriller political series titled Tempest in the US, also known as The North Star in other countries (from the quote that’s also in the trailer), arriving for streaming in September. Set mostly in Korea, Tempest follows Seo Munju, a former UN Ambassador whose life gets flipped right on its head when her husband, a presidential candidate, is assassinated in front of her. To find the truth about the attack, Munju takes up her husband’s role, becoming the party’s presidential candidate. With her life now constantly in danger, Sanho, a mysterious mercenary, will step up to keep her safe as her bodyguard. However, with little known about him, can Munju really trust him? Featuring “one of the most impressive international line-ups in a Korean drama to date.” Check out this cast! Tempest stars Jun Ji-hyun (aka Gianna Jun), Gang Dongwon, John Cho, Lee Misook, Park Haejoon, Christopher Gorham, Michael Gaston, and Spencer Garrett. The series is also written by the same writer of the script for Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave (one of my faves). I’ll be watching this. // Continue Reading ›
