On the 30th (Saturday), the K-action hero series 'Twelve' released its 3rd episode, proving its popularity by ranking first in Disney+'s 'Today's Top 10 in Korea', injecting new vitality into KBS drama.
'Twelve' is an action hero story where 12 angels fight against a group of evil to protect the human world.
The 3rd episode of 'Twelve', which aroused viewers' curiosity by ending with a critical crisis where the angels were ambushed by a group of evil in the 2nd episode, was released on the 30th. In this episode, a conflict develops between 'Tae-san' (Ma Dong-seok), who does not want to interfere with human affairs anymore, and the angels who want to protect humans, making the story even more exciting.
The angels, cornered by a powerful evil force that they met after thousands of years, barely manage to escape a crisis as 'Marok' (Sung Dong-il) arrives. However, soon 'Samin' (Kim Chan-hyung) breaks the barrier and attacks 'Marok', putting them in danger again. Taking advantage of the moment, 'Won-seung' (Seo In-guk) and 'Doni' (Ko Kyu-pil) execute a joint attack, allowing 'Marok' to narrowly escape from danger, while the group of evil retreats. 'Marok' then reads a memory from one person and confirms that 'Samin' is on the move again.
Gathered at 'Tae-san Han Clinic', the angels receiving treatment for their injuries from 'Bang-ul' (Regina Ray) felt the evil's power awakening again. 'Kang-ji' (Kang Mina) suggested to 'Tae-san' that they should scatter to find traces of evil before danger approaches humans, but 'Tae-san' firmly rejected her, saying, "Don't worry about humans unnecessarily; we just need to protect each other as family." Despite 'Kang-ji's' efforts to persuade him by reminding him of the reason for the angels' existence on this land, 'Tae-san' remained unmoved and stood in firm opposition to the angels who wanted to protect humans.
Displaying sadness with the words, "I don't want to lose anyone anymore," 'Tae-san' recalls the memory of losing four angels who were like family thousands of years ago at the entrance of the temple. 'Marok,' who came to find the solitary 'Tae-san,' carefully persuades him again to help humans against evil, noting that 'Samin' is the mastermind behind the revival of evil powers. However, 'Tae-san's' firmly closed heart does not budge, raising curiosity about the circumstances that may lead him to help humans again in the future.
Meanwhile, 'Marok' privately summoned 'Won-seung' and assigned him a secret mission to investigate the location where traces of evil first appeared, away from 'Tae-san' and the angels. 'Marok' sweetly encouraged 'Won-seung' by saying that he is 'Tae-san's' future captain, igniting a passion in 'Won-seung'. Equipped with a special detector created by 'Jui-dol' (Sung Yu-bin), he roams the mountains in search of clues. It arouses curiosity whether he will discover any traces and if he is indeed the right candidate to succeed 'Tae-san.'
The past narrative of 'Tae-san' with the only human he has opened his heart to, 'Geum-sun' (Yee Soo-jung), added to the intrigue. Decades ago, 'Geum-sun's' mother and 'Geum-sun' were involved in a financial dispute with gangsters and had their food stall raided. 'Tae-san,' 'Won-seung,' 'Kang-ji,' and 'Mal-sook' (An Ji-hye) rescued them, which led to the continuing bond between 'Tae-san' and 'Geum-sun.' As darkness descends upon the world again, 'Tae-san,' concerned for 'Geum-sun,' suggests that she sell the food stall to him and leave far away. However, 'Geum-sun' refuses, expressing her desire to protect the stall just as her mother did, saying, "You can just protect me again, right?" which touches 'Tae-san.'
The 3rd episode, bursting with diverse emotions, maximized entertainment by providing delightful humor through the angels' bouncy charm and quirky actions. In the end, 'Mir' (Lee Joo-bin) was seen collapsing amidst the pain that arose in her mind as she watched the angels, while 'O-Gwi' (Park Hyung-sik) held a soul stone with overwhelming power over the angels and wore a significant expression, further heightening expectations for the next episode.
'Twelve', with its delightful character play of Korean-style heroes and a rich narrative spanning the past and present, continues to resonate with viewers. It airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m. on KBS2 as a weekend mini-series and connects with worldwide audiences through Disney+ immediately after its broadcast.
