Namgoong Min Is A Terrifying And Unpredictable Special Agent In Upcoming Drama “The Veil”

Drama Preview

MBC’s upcoming drama “The Veil” has shared a new sneak peek of Namgoong Min in his starring role!

“The Veil” is a blockbuster action drama starring Namgoong Min as Han Ji Hyuk, an elite field agent at the NIS (National Intelligence Service). Due to his perfect record and skill at completing missions, Han Ji Hyuk is a top agent who is held in high esteem by his colleagues.

However, just when he seemed to have finally succeeded in driving an organized crime syndicate into a corner, Han Ji Hyuk suddenly vanishes off the face of the earth. After going missing for a year, he makes a bold return by joining a crime syndicate to find the NIS traitor responsible for his downfall.

While Han Ji Hyuk is a living legend at the NIS, he gradually becomes overly invested in his missions over time, and his ruthlessness strikes up a mix of both terror and awe in his fellow agents. His notoriety eventually earns him the nickname “The Grim Reaper,” which follows him around wherever he goes.

In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Han Ji Hyuk seems to constantly be sporting a relaxed, indecipherable expression that makes him utterly unpredictable. Whether taking a leisurely stroll through blazing flames or casually holding up a lighter while staring someone in the eye, Han Ji Hyuk is clearly dangerous, but impossible to read.

 

 

 

The producers of “The Veil” commented, “Namgoong Min is the very essence of Han Ji Hyuk, from his gaze to his tone of voice and his actions. We think that only Namgoong Min, who always immerses himself in every role he plays, is capable of this kind of acting. Please be sure to tune in to ‘The Veil,’ which will not only feature Namgoong Min’s flawless acting as Han Ji Hyuk, but also a wide variety of other entertaining elements. The drama will exceed your expectations.”

“The Veil” will premiere sometime in the second half of 2020. Check out a trailer for the drama here!

MBC established the first Friday-Saturday drama in 60 years… 'Black Sun' confirmed for September

 

 

MBC, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, created a new 'Friday-Sat Drama' for the first time since its founding, and selected 'Black Sun' as the first runner.

 

MBC is a leading organization that has not been seen in the broadcasting industry so far, including traditional mini-series of 16 and 12 episodes, as well as various lengths such as 8 episodes and 4 episodes, as well as crossover works of dramas and movies. It has been well-received by viewers

 

This new Friday-Saturday drama was also strategically selected to expand the audience's choice of works based on the audience's content consumption propensity as MBC's flexible programming strategy stood out. According to this decision, 'Black Sun', which will be released as a follow-up to the currently popular Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Only Without Crazy', will meet viewers as a Friday-Saturday drama.

 

"As a result of analyzing viewers' TV and OTT content consumption patterns, we decided to move the existing weekday night dramas to weekend nights," said Geon-wook Yoo, head of MBC's content strategy department. “Starting at 10:00 p.m. on Friday, the start of the weekend, a new drama will be created twice a week on Fridays and Saturdays, and various entertainment contents such as ‘I Live Alone’ and ‘Point of Omniscient Interfere’ will provide viewers with a variety of fun on weekend nights. We hope that the newly established MBC Friday-Saturday drama will receive a lot of love from viewers,” he said, explaining the reason for the new Friday-Saturday drama.

 

‘Black Sun’, selected as the first runner-up for MBC’s first Friday-Saturday drama since its inception, is a special drama for the 60th anniversary of MBC’s founding and is a Korean blockbuster action masterpiece jointly invested by MBC and Korea’s largest OTT platform, wavve.

 

'Black Sun' is the story of the best field agent of the National Intelligence Service, who disappeared a year ago, and returns to the organization to find the insider traitor who dropped him into the abyss. Actor Nam Goong-min, who has been loved by viewers for his explosive acting skills and unique presence in various works, plays the role of 'Han Ji-hyuk', the best field agent of the National Intelligence Service, and 'Seo Su-yeon', the head of the Crime Integration Center, Han Ji-hyuk's motive and secrets, plays various roles. Actor Park Ha-sun, who is considered a 'trend these days' by perfectly digesting the character, will appear. Elite who joined the National Intelligence Service at the age of 21 and Han Ji-hyeok's partner, Ji-hyeok Han's partner, Ji-eun Kim, who took the first lead role on a terrestrial TV show, Ji-eun Kim, as well as Byeong-gi Kim, Kyung-young Lee, Young-nam Jang, Oh-seong Yoo, etc. It is raising expectations for the drama.

 

‘Black Sun’ is followed by the historical drama ‘Red End of the Sleeves’ based on the popular novel of the same name (written by Jeong Hae-ri, directed by Jung Ji-in, Song Yeon-hwa). 'Red End of the Sleeve' depicts a mournful court romance between a court lady who wants to protect the life she has chosen and a king who puts the country more than her love.

 

MBC's newly established Friday-Saturday drama will feature blockbuster-level masterpieces with various themes such as action plays and historical dramas, and will provide new attractions to the small screen on weekend nights.

'Black Sun' made a splash with the special broadcast 'Black Sun: Daybreak'.

 

 

On the July 25th, MBC's first Friday-Saturday drama 'Black Sun' (played by Park Seok-ho, directed by Kim Seong-yong) presented a special preview broadcast 'Black Sun: Daybreak'.

 

'Black Sun' is the winner of the 2018 MBC Drama Script Contest by writer Park Seok-ho, and is the story of a top-ranking NIS agent who went missing a year ago, returning to the organization to find an insider traitor who dropped him into the abyss.

In the preview broadcast, the story that made ‘Black Sun’ sweat and the secret stories of the characters revealed the outlines, amplifying the curiosity of prospective viewers.

‘Black Sun: Daybreak’, which consists of a total of 13 minutes, opened with the voice of storyteller Kim Kyung-sik. Then, a video showing the first episode of 'Black Sun' was introduced and caught the attention of viewers.

 

While searching for a smuggler to apprehend the organ traffickers, the Coast Guard discovers a suspicious man who has turned the scene into a sea of blood. It is soon revealed that he is the best on-site agent Han Ji-hyeok (Namgoong-min) of the NIS, who has disappeared and was treated dead, and the NIS falls into chaos in an instant. It heralded the birth of a heavy blockbuster this fall, foretelling that the process of chasing behind and unraveling the clues of the incident that took away his memories and annihilated his colleagues, Han Ji-hyuk, who lost his memory, will be unfolding.

In particular, in yesterday's broadcast, three special tips for watching 'Black Sun' were introduced, stimulating interest. The story illuminates the NIS itself, an organization that has been hidden for a long time, the spy action of Namgoong-min (Han Ji-hyuk), an actor with chameleon-like charm, the development that repeats the twists and turns, and the intense psychological battle of the characters, as well as the traitor in it. The process of finding the identity of the drama was considered as an essential point to watch, providing guidance to drama fans waiting for the first broadcast.

In addition, a special interview with the lead actors Namgoong-min, Park Ha-sun (Seo Su-yeon), and Kim Ji-eun (Yoo Jae-yi) continued to catch the eye. Namgoong-min said, "All actors who are good enough to act like this have gathered. He said, “The script is perfect. If it is implemented well, I think we will be able to present a very good drama.” Park Ha-sun also expressed anticipation, saying, "Seo Su-yeon is a cold and arrogant character that I haven't shown before, so I'm looking forward to it and excited about it." You can watch 'Black Sun' more fun if you hold it well."

MBC’s upcoming drama “The Veil” has shared an exciting new poster!

“The Veil” is a new blockbuster action drama starring Namgoong Min as Han Ji Hyuk, an elite field agent who is a legend at the NIS (National Intelligence Service). Due to his perfect record and skill at completing missions, Han Ji Hyuk is a top agent who is held in high esteem by his colleagues.

However, just when he seemed to have finally succeeded in driving an organized crime syndicate into a corner, Han Ji Hyuk suddenly vanishes off the face of the earth. After losing his memories and going missing for a year, he makes a bold return to the organization to find the traitor responsible for his downfall.

The newly released poster hints at the lonely fight that lies ahead for Han Ji Hyuk. Surrounded by faceless enemies, whose identities are concealed by shrouds, a wounded Han Ji Hyuk keeps his cool as he prepares to battle the mysterious traitors in his midst.

'Black Sun' Kim Ji-eun, NIS ace transformation... Namgoong-min and his special colleague

 

Actress Kim Ji-eun will portray various aspects of a secretive NIS agent in 'Black Sun'.

In the play, Kim Ji-eun takes on the role of YooJ, an agent belonging to the NIS field support team, and works with Namgoong-min (Han Ji-hyuk) and Park Ha-sun (Seo Su-yeon). Yoo J (Kim Ji-eun) is a graduate of KAIST and joined the National Intelligence Service at the age of 21. In particular, he is expected to show some special camaraderie as seniors and juniors in the same field support team as Han Ji-hyeok (Namgoong-min).

 

However, she arouses interest because she has an unexpected side hidden from YuJ, who has been following the elite course without hesitation. Although she is a multi-faceted, exceptionally talented woman, she hides her own extraordinaryness behind a bright appearance, and shows a meaningful appearance as if she is chasing an event that has nothing to do with her mission. .

 

 

In the stills released on the 10th, YooJ-E's appearance was neat and modest, but on the other hand, he had reliable sincerity. As if trying to find out something about her, her keen eyes that do not want to miss even a single clue show the elite's unique tenacity and concentration. Attention is focused on how Kim Ji-eun will play the role of Yoo Jae-yi, who reveals a quiet but strong presence among the people of the National Intelligence Service with their own ambitions.

MBC's 60th anniversary special project 'Black Sun', which is scheduled to premiere in September, is broadcast every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM.

 'Black Sun' Director Kim Seong-yong "It's the location of the National Intelligence Service, but it's a personal story"

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

Director Kim Seong-yong of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Black Sun' has raised expectations for the drama ahead of the broadcast.

 

MBC's 60th anniversary special project, 'Black Sun', which is scheduled to premiere on September 17, is the winner of the 2018 MBC Drama Script Contest written by Park Seok-ho. The story takes place as he returns to the organization to find an insider traitor.

 

Director Kim Seong-yong, who was in charge of directing, said, “The fun of the script was different. The first thought was that it was really fun, so I was able to work with an active mind,” he said, explaining why he was attracted to 'Black Sun'. Also, “The biggest attraction of ‘Black Sun’ is the fun of the script and the dense expression of the actors. It is expected to be a new and interesting spy drama.”

 

Director Kim Seong-yong talked about the three main actors Namgoong-min (Han Ji-hyuk), Park Ha-sun (Seo Su-yeon), and Kim Ji-eun (Yoo J-E), saying, "The synchronicity of each actor and role is very different. All three actors are making an unprecedented effort to play realistic characters.” He added, “As a result, actors Namgoong-min and Park Ha-sun are showing new characters that they have never seen before. Even though actress Kim Ji-eun is her first lead role, she has high expectations for her role.”

 

In addition, regarding the atmosphere of the filming site of 'Black Sun', where a large number of luxury actors were present, "The chemistry of the actors is 'steamed chemistry' itself. The atmosphere of the set itself is good, but the actors make the atmosphere more lively, so I am always happily filming.”

 

Lastly, Director Kim Seong-yong said, “The conflict and conflict of values between an organization and its members, and between individuals and individuals will not only be a story of the NIS. ‘The Black Sun’ is not only the story of an organization based on the background of the National Intelligence Service, but it is also the story of an individual. I hope that it will be an opportunity for viewers to look back on their own reality through our drama and to think about truth and justice from a relative point of view.”
