"A Bona fide Killer" Lee Sang Yi and Choi Woo-Sung deliver a perfect combo play.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama "A Bona fide Killer," which premieres on the 31st (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hun), depicts the struggle of a working mom with the most brutal job in the world to protect her work-life balance.
The stills released on the 6th show the Not Today investigative reporting team and the Southern Precinct violent crimes team 2 pursuing the legendary sniper Kingfisher. Not Today's Kwon Tae-seong (played by Jung Jun-won) and the eager rookie Goo Hae-na (played by Han Chae-rin) carry out unpredictable reporting, while Southern Precinct's Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang Yi) and Beom Seong-hoon (played by Choi Woo-Sung) narrow the investigative net with perfect combo play under the single-minded determination to catch Kingfisher. Their journey, struggling on the front lines of reporting and investigation to uncover Kingfisher's identity, is expected to further heighten the drama's immersion.
First, Not Today's investigative reporting team veteran reporter Kwon Tae-seong (played by Jung Jun-won) is a veteran journalist who risks danger to produce scoops. He, who once covered Kingfisher exclusively, viewed the case with a balanced perspective that neither blindly followed nor simply labeled the figure as a criminal. But after an unforeseen incident he stopped reporting, and with Kingfisher's return he plunges back into the center of the case.
Rookie reporter Goo Hae-na (played by Han Chae-rin) trusts her direct senior Kwon Tae-seong more than anyone and works the field with him. Even amid unpredictable reporting, she will dig into cases with vigor and passion and showcase senior-junior chemistry.
Meanwhile, the Southern Precinct violent crimes team 2 moves with the single-minded determination to put Kingfisher before the bar of justice. Captain Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang Yi) is an ace detective boasting an outstanding arrest record but is a figure who lives with deep wounds and a sense of helplessness from a past Kingfisher case. More than anyone, he empathizes with the victims' pain and continues relentless investigation as he tracks down the reappeared Kingfisher.
At his side, the youngest of violent crimes team 2, Beom Seong-hoon (played by Choi Woo-Sung), is a reliable partner. As Lee Dong-jin's right-hand man, he not only adds strength to investigations with overflowing passion and diligence but also finds clues to solving cases through questions posed from a sometimes innocent perspective, asserting his presence. The perfect teamwork and bromance that Lee Sang Yi and Choi Woo-Sung will show are also expected to be another highlight of the drama.
The production team said, "The different team plays that the media and police will show over Kingfisher will be an important point to watch. Jung Jun-won and Han Chae-rin, who sweep the scene regardless of danger, and Lee Sang Yi and Choi Woo-Sung, who relentlessly pursue every clue and track the case, will raise the drama's immersion, so please look forward to it."
