Unmasked on digicam with Kim Hye-soo
by solstices
It’s time for an exposé with the relentless reporters of Disney+’s crime-comedy Unmasked, offered via a modern poster and a dryly hilarious teaser. Centering across the investigative program “Set off” that unmasks dangerous guys all throughout the nation, this story actually doesn’t hesitate to throw its heroes — and us — proper into the motion.
“I virtually died earlier than I even reached the workplace in the present day,” laments Jung Sung-il (The Glory), who performs Han Do, the most recent addition to the group. Contemplating he braved his manner via a paragliding bounce, a breakneck chase, and a strangulation try, it’s no marvel he’s at his restrict. His colleague’s response: “Looks as if you met PD Oh.”
Mentioned PD is Oh So-ryong, the chief of the Set off group and a tenacious go-getter whose repute precedes her. Performed by the ever-charismatic Kim Hye-soo (Beneath the Queen’s Umbrella), So-ryong’s fiesty spirit and investigative drive merely can’t be quenched, not even when she’s within the unforgiving clutches of a rifle-wielding cult. “A group chief who lives just for in the present day,” reads the chyron, and a voiceover factors out that “backing out” merely isn’t in So-ryong’s dictionary.
“We don’t do pre-emptions,” declares So-ryong’s boss, and by the look on her face, she’s very a lot in settlement. That’s, till the long-suffering rookie Do is introduced on board, pushing her buttons along with his brusque rudeness. “What occurred to the flower I gave you?” asks So-ryong. Lower to Do tossing it out a taxi window. Do: “I misplaced it.” LOL, his neck brace offers him the proper excuse to not look her within the eye, doesn’t it.
Backing So-ryong up is her assistant director Kang Gi-ho, performed by Joo Jong-hyuk (Frankly Speaking). Alas, his fervent ardour sadly doesn’t fairly translate to actuality, since he’s a bit of clumsy (although endearingly so). Bristling at Do like a pet that’s all bark and no chew, Gi-ho points So-ryong an ultimatum — “Select now, is it me or that fox?” HAHAHA.
Petty bickering apart, Set off is synonymous with the primary broadcast that viewers belief, and So-ryong is way out of your typical reporter. “Even in the event you do that all day, does the regulation change? Does the world change?” sneers an unrepentant felony. “It does,” solutions So-ryong. “As a result of folks’s hearts are what an investigative reporter adjustments.” To that finish, she’ll willingly throw herself into hazard time and time once more — whether or not that’s a crumbling constructing, or a fiery explosion.
“This isn’t youngster’s play,” So-ryong warns, fearlessly staring down the barrel of a gun (a lot to an aghast Do’s horror). If the headline within the Set off newsroom is something to go by — an aged one that burns cats’ corpses, oof — the circumstances they expose aren’t for the faint of coronary heart, and So-ryong will ensure their true colours are laid naked on air.
Helmed by PD Yoo Seon-dong (The Uncanny Counter 2), with scripts by Kim Ki-ryang, Unmasked is slated for a January 15 premiere.
