In the drama 'The Defects,' which is generating anticipation due to DEX's appearance, actors Won Jina and Choi Young-jun confront the truth entangled with survival.
The new Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Defects' (written by Ahn So-jung, directed by Oh Gi-hwan), set to premiere on the 21st, is an action thriller that depicts the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survived at the brink of death after being abandoned by their foster parents. Among them, today's (the 1st) revealed still of Won Jina (playing Kim Ah-hyun) and Choi Young-jun (playing Woo Tae-sik) captures the complex emotions and narratives entwined between the two characters, stealing attention.
In the drama, Won Jina plays Kim Ah-hyun, who was returned after being adopted but dramatically survived. Choi Young-jun portrays Woo Tae-sik, an accomplice of an illegal adoption trafficking organization, who passionately works to secretly rescue and protect the refunded children. The two, who have been a support for each other, are expected to engage in a desperate struggle to survive in their own ways within the crumbling system, creating a significant impact in the drama.
The revealed still captures the serious conversation between Ah-hyun and Tae-sik in a dark atmosphere. Beyond the simple relationship of survivor and protector, there flows a complex emotional narrative intertwined with trust, wounds, and solidarity, drawing attention.
After gaining a chance at life due to Tae-sik and undergoing brutal training, Ah-hyun becomes the leader of the surviving children and a spiritual pillar. However, while engaging in a desperate struggle for revenge and survival, Ah-hyun unexpectedly confronts a shocking truth, and Tae-sik aiming a gun at her maximizes the dramatic tension. It raises questions about why Tae-sik, who has been teaching survival methods to children abandoned by their parents and playing the role of a helper, has cornered Ah-hyun, and what cracks have occurred in their relationship, creating unpredictable developments.
'The Defects' is expected to elevate its quality beyond a simple action thriller, creating a deeply emotional drama through relationships that keep tension high and a relentless progression. Won Jina and Choi Young-jun are also anticipated to showcase high-quality acting synergy with a strong transformation that breaks from their existing images.
In particular, 'The Defects' is drawing attention not only for the appearances of actors Won Jina and Choi Young-jun but also for Yum Jung-ah and DEX (Kim Jin-young). This is because Yum Jung-ah and DEX, who formed a bond through this, appeared together in the tvN entertainment series 'Fresh off the Sea' and received praise from viewers for their sibling chemistry as the eldest sister and youngest brother. In the drama, Yum Jung-ah plays Kim Se-hee, who outwardly appears to be a respected celebrity in the medical field but is actually the real leader of the illegal adoption trafficking organization. DEX portrays Jung Hyun, the human weapon raised in darkness by Se-hee and one of the key operators of the illegal adoption organization, promising a strong presence.
The production of the work is jointly undertaken by Group 8, known for producing numerous hit works based on original stories such as 'Today, Lovably,' 'Taxi Driver' series, 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty,' and 'Boys Over Flowers,' and Take One Studio, which has presented works like 'Your Honor' and 'Luca: The Beginning.' Additionally, ENA, which has showcased 'New Recruit' and 'Tastefully Yours,' has scheduled it as a highly anticipated work for the second half of the year. The first broadcast is set for Monday, July 21, at 10 p.m.
