Igniting expectations for its action-packed, thrilling pursuit, MBC confirmed the launch date of Tracer as its first Friday-Saturday drama in 2022.
Scheduled to air on January 7, the upcoming Korean drama series Tracer unfolds the story of vengeance against the Tax Division of the Seoul Regional Office. Moreover, gearing up for its nearing premiere, the collaboration of writer Kim Hyeon-Jeong and Director Lee Seung-young welcome the viewers in the world of money shenanigans and retribution.
Fresh Take on Korean Mystery and Drama Series
The story introduces Hwang Dong Joo (Im Si Wan), a newcomer team manager for the Investigation Bureau. In addition to his remarkable talent, he has a handsome face. Not only that, but he also has a sharp tongue that lets off snide remarks.
What is more, Hwang Dong Joo was the industry’s leading accountant. Before becoming the Seoul Regional Office’s Investigation Bureau team manager, he controlled the secret finances of large corporations. But more importantly, Dong Joo’s brash and eccentric character will contribute to the narrative’s novelty.
Additionally, determined to confront the system’s illicit ways head-on, there is Seo Hye Young (Go Ah Sung). Meanwhile, the character Tae Joon (Son Hyun Joo) is a commissioner who got his post through unlawful means.
Subsequently, as the lives of all these characters intertwine, this action-drama of tough guys chasing after bad money will surely stir up excitement.
The Return of Sought-after Actors
Im Si Wan’s returns after five years in an MBC drama. Thus, heightening expectations for the actor’s versatile growth. Previously, he appeared in dramas Run On and Strangers From Hell.
Moreover, the series marks the long-awaited comeback of actor Park Yong Woo in an MBC drama, 21 years after his portrayal “Sun Hee and Jin Hee”. Prior to Tracer, he has worked in OCN drama Priest.
Furthermore, supporters are also anticipating Son Hyun Joo’s portrayal of In Tae Joon, the National Tax Service’s second-in-command. Son Hyun Joo, who has wowed audiences with his ability to immerse himself in his roles, will enthrall audiences once more with his charming representation in his first MBC drama in 15 years, since “H.I.T” in 2007. His 2020 series, The Good Detective, was met with remarkable praises.
Besides that, the portrayal of the overall cast makes this upcoming drama promising. Specifically, because of the refreshing portrayals, unique wit, and boldness, they aim to deliver. Not just that, but how the characters are equipped with excellent intuition and remarkable investigation abilities. Indeed, the plot is perfect for mystery and action genre enthusiasts.
Best of all, watching this upcoming series is undoubtedly an exciting and fulfilling way to start the year.
