Undercover Episodes 3 & 4 Moments
Yeon-soo and Jung-hyun’s Hidden Enemies
Despite knowing the Yeon-soo faces a formidable challenge with her appointment, Jung-hyun encourages her to proceed with it. He knows deep in his wife’s heart the passionate heart to serve sincerely fits the coveted passion. But as soon as her nomination was announced, she was attacked by her hiding enemies. They brought up the assault case of her son who came to rescue a woman being hurt by an evil man.
Taking advantage that no witness stepped up to the case, the evil man is more than happy to be of use and earn money. Fortunately, Seung-mi stumbled on a clue on the internet and was able to track the victim whom Seung-gu rescued.
The Drug Ring Mission in the 90’s
In one of Yeon-soo’s cases, she stumbles on Choi Min Ho, a man who lied to the wife of his secret identity as a NIS agent. Choi Min Ho was proclaimed to had committed suicide, but Yeon-soo and the detective working on the case sniffed something off. That same man once had an encounter with Jung-hyun in a drug cartel raid.
When Jung-hyun found a letter sent to Yeon-soo by Min-ho, he lied about finding no content in the locker tipped in the letter. He unearthed money transactions under the name of NIS agents including him. But his discovery sent an alert to the NIS head who seems to be orchestrating the organization’s fund exploitation.
Probing more on what he found out, Jung-hyun reconnects with Go Yoon-joo, another agent he met in the drug ring mission.
Undercover Episodes 3 & 4 Musings
I love the flashback prologue scenes each episode because it adds weight to the depth of Yeon-soo and Jung-hyu’s story. Yeon Woo Jin and Han Sun Hwa have both suited up to the younger versions of the lead characters in the story well. Every time we get a glimpse of Yeon-soo and Jung-hyun/Suk-kyu memories through their appearances, it’s really engrossing.
Also, I appreciate Yoo Seon Ho’s commitment to his role. You can really see him working hard to own it. The attention to the fight scenes is also evident. Something that is given and interestingly equalizes the political drama in the series.
This week, we learned of Yeon-soo’s close connection to the student movement leader Tae-yeol who died presumably to the operation undertook by Jung-hyun. We can only imagine how much love Yeon-soo has for Jung-hyun to forgive him once everything is out in the open.
Heo Jun Ho playing the villain in Undercover is honestly the hardest part for me in the series. You see I had good times with him in his last drama, Missing: The Other Side. His ruthless side is really traumatizing my frail heart. *wink
After four episodes, we can establish the picture we are bound to explore more. At some point, Yeon-soo would get to the NIS camp which would signal the start of her looming complicated family life. Hopefully, her rational mind would cushion the pain so they can work together to defeat their enemies. I think her tumultuous nomination would become the poison and the cure of their problem.
Right now, my K-Drama fan problem involves Do Young-gul. If he will be killed, can it be hastened? *chuckles Undercover has definitely a surplus of villains, apparent and hiding. Thus, the series capitalizes on how it amplifies its underdog mood through the presented invincible villains.
