Tempest (2025): Genre: Action, Romance, Political Thriller, Conspiracy Drama; No. of episodes: 9
A high-stakes political thriller centered on a former UN Ambassador whose life spirals after her husband’s mysterious assassination.
Main Characters:
Seo Mun-Ju (played by Gianna Jun)
Chae Kyung-Sin (played by Kim Hae-Sook)
Seo Munju was a highly respected UN ambassador with a successful career and clear aspirations of her own. She probably could have run for president. But at her husband’s request, she stepped away from her post so she could support his plan to run for president. Though the sitting president warned her that her husband’s ideas—especially reunifying North and South Korea—were dangerous, she chose to be loyal to her husband.
Before the campaign
could begin, her husband was assassinated during a speech at a
church. Seo Munju tried to shield him from the shooter and nearly
died herself. But a bystander, Baek San-ho, tackled the gunman and
saved her life. Before committing suicide, the assassin claimed her
husband was a spy. A spy? Clearly, a false accusation. There was
no way that her husband was a spy. But how can she prove it? Her
husband and the shooter are dead. Where
does she begin?
It turns
out that Baek San-ho, the man who
saved
her, is
a
former special agent. He saved her, but can he be trusted? Seo
Munju decides
to start
with him. Or rather, he makes sure that she decides that she can
trust him. As their relationship develops, he reveals evidence
suggesting a larger conspiracy, including suspicious phone calls and
footage linking the assassin to Seo Munju’s brother-in-law. Her own
brother-in-law? He may have killed his own
brother? Realizing she was in danger, Seo Munju agreed to work with
Baek San-ho to uncover the truth behind her husband’s death.
