SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated' (written by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young and Lee So-eun), premiering on Friday, June 26, is a "father-universe" revenge action drama. It tells the story of the "world's most ordinary" dad who becomes the "world's most dangerous" man to rescue his only daughter. Based on the webtoon of the same name, the series brings together writer Nam Dae-jung, highly acclaimed for his solid writing in films like 'Love Reset' and 'The Last Ride', with director Lee Seung-young, known for his stylish direction in 'Wonderful World', 'Tracer', and 'Voice 2', and rising director Lee So-eun.
Anticipation is reaching a fever pitch as this marks actor So Ji-sub's return to SBS after 13 years. Released on May 29, the black-and-white teaser poster instantly grabs attention, hinting at the boiling rage and turbulent narrative of Manager Kim (played by So Ji-sub) as he searches for his missing daughter. The chilling gaze of the doting father, holding a gun instead of his daily lunchbox, leaves a powerful impact, signaling the awakening of his long-hidden combat DNA.
In the drama, Manager Kim is an ordinary family man who works as a manager at a local savings bank, living solely for his only daughter. However, his true identity is a former secret agent dispatched on countless special operations. He is the top target on North Korea's blacklist and a ticking time bomb whose very existence is a state secret in South Korea. Formerly known as "Code Name 66", his awakening of long-forgotten combat instincts in the face of his daughter's crisis is already raising viewers' heart rates for this breathtaking, paternal-love blockbuster.
The production team shared, "'Agent Kim Reactivated' heralds the birth of a 'Korean version of Taken,' offering explosive action driven by a father's fierce love. Even from the teaser poster alone, 'Agent Kim Reactivated' is filled with a mysterious aura. It will depict a father's revenge that is set to dominate Friday and Saturday nights, so please look forward to it."
They added with strong confidence, "So Ji-sub will once again set viewers' hearts ablaze through 'Agent Kim Reactivated,' his first SBS comeback project in 13 years. Please check out So Ji-sub's performance in 'Agent Kim Reactivated,' where he will deliver a legendary transformation and become the ultimate source of catharsis."
Set to unleash a massive dose of dopamine on TV screens this summer, SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated' will premiere on Friday, June 26 at 9:50 p.m., following the conclusion of the currently airing drama 'My Royal Nemesis'.
