Dr. Romantic's Han Suk Kyu to Star in Upcoming Psychological Thriller Series

Han Suk Kyu is set to captivate audiences in the new MBC drama "A Traitor Among Us," marking his grand return to the network after nearly three decades since his role in "Hotel" back in 1995. This gripping psychological thriller unravels the conflict of a leading profiler who stumbles upon his daughter's secret entwined with a murder investigation.

The drama, hailed as MBC's most awaited venture for 2024, weaves an intricate narrative exploring familial ties, the balance of trust and doubt, and the essence of belief. The script, which triumphed in the 2021 MBC Drama Screenplay Contest, is the brainchild of Han Ah Young and has been refined over three years by MBC's dedicated drama development team.

In the drama, Han Suk Kyu transforms into Jang Tae Soo, South Korea's foremost profiler and a single father fiercely dedicated to his daughter. Jang Tae Soo, who chose a career in crime behavior analysis at a time when profiling was not widely recognized, has earned immense respect and trust within the law enforcement community. Yet, a startling revelation puts his professional convictions and relationship with his daughter to the test, as he endeavors to shield her by unraveling the truth.

The series, directed by the acclaimed Song Yeon Hwa, known for her work on "The Red Sleeve" and "Hunted," is set to premiere in the second half of 2024, enriching MBC's Friday-Saturday drama slate.
