Actor Kim Tae-woo is showing two faces.
Kim Tae-woo played the role of 'Ahn Tae-sung,' the head of the serious crime unit at the Bunsung Police Agency, in the recent MBC weekend drama 'Mary Kills People' (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, directed by Park Joon-woo, written by Lee Soo-a, produced by Mister Romance, Moving Pictures Company, Studio Anja Island).
While Ahn Tae-sung shows a charismatic image as a detective who tracks Dr. Woo So-jeong (Lee Bo-young), who helps terminally ill patients die, it is implied that he is a behind-the-scenes figure connected to drug dealer Kim Si-hyun (Oh Ui-sik), leaking police internal information, creating a twist.
As the investigation net around Woo So-jeong gradually tightens, pressure from Baek Ui-won (Yoo Seung-mok) and Gu Gwang-cheol (Baek Hyun-jin) toward Ahn Tae-sung also intensified. After a high-stakes game of wits, Ahn Tae-sung said, "Baek Ui-won may be able to strip us both, but Gu will really kill you and me," as he disregarded a tip regarding the drug transaction from a subordinate, Detective Bae Hyung-ho (Tae Hang-ho). Ahn Tae-sung's chilling side, willing to engage in illegal activities to ensure his own safety, stood out.
In this way, Kim Tae-woo is portrayed as a ruthless character who does not hesitate to destroy evidence to survive, yet outwardly, he shows two faces as a caring father who takes time out of his busy schedule to attend parent meetings for his daughter. His quick wit and situational judgment in seeking out survival paths are compellingly depicted through his solid acting skills, raising expectations for future developments.
Meanwhile, the MBC weekend drama 'Mary Kills People,' featuring Kim Tae-woo, airs weekly on Fridays and Saturdays at 10 p.m.
