The Story Sketch
Several years ago, a terrorist attack took the lives of several of Korea’s wealthiest elite and paralyzed the President of the country. Taking place during a sponta-neous presidential visit, only an inside member of the convoy would have been able to launch the attack but who could it have been?
Haunted by the memory of that fateful day, former elite soldier Woo Chaewoon is determined to uncover the truth behind and bring those responsible to justice.
In the years since, he has steadily grown closer to the surviving members of the attack, infiltrating their organizations and studying each member closely before moving on to the next survivor.
When Chaewoon learns BF CEO and fellow survivor Yun Jayu’s company has experienced record growth and profits as a direct result of the attack, he sets his sights on her. But could someone so dedicated to improving the world really be responsible for such a heinous attack?
The target of countless threats by drug cartels, hackers, extremists and local Korean protestors as a direct result of her company’s groundbreaking work creating lab-grown meats, Yun Jayu hires Chaewoon as her personal bodyguard, unaware of his ulterior motives.
With attacks coming from all around and the truth being far more twisted than anyone could have imagined, will Chaewoon be able to get to the bottom of what happened that day before Jayu’s enemies exact their revenge?
The Main Leads
Ju Ji Hoon as Woo Chaewoon
A former captain in South Korea’s elite Naval Intelligence Command, Woo Chaewoon retired shortly after a terrorist attack on a South Korean base took several lives and permanently injured the President of Korea.
Unable to forget that traumatic event, Chaewoon vows to find those responsible, and with only a few people aware of the President’s schedule that day, he has spent the past few years systematically eliminating suspects from his list.
With only a few suspects remaining, Chaewoon sets his sights on BF CEO, Yun Jayu, discovering that her company went on to enjoy huge profits as an indirect result of the attack.
Infiltrating BF as Jayu’s personal bodyguard, Chaewoon will work to defend her from a swarm of incoming threats, all the while trying to uncover if the seemingly altruistic CEO could really be responsible for such a horrific attack.
Han Hyo Joo as Yoon Jayu
A mysterious CEO and the target of widespread condemnation following her company’s disruptive effect on global agriculture, Yun Jayu is committed to realizing a future where no animals are hurt and no land is destroyed to feed the human race.
Once restrained by problematic legislation that restricted the sale of lab-cultivated meat for human consumption, Jayu’s ambitions were unleashed following the repeal of the law in the months immediately after a terrorist attack.
With her company, BF, now causing massive disruption across many of the world’s industries, Jayu has become the target of threats and attacks from farmers, hackers, drug cartels and more, but with BF now enjoying record profits as an indirect result of that fateful day, could there be more to this altruistic CEO than meets the eye?
