“Sigh. I can’t believe we’re getting this combo in their 40s. It’s a bit late, but still… I love it.”
Tempest follows UN ambassador Moon Ju (Jun Ji Hyun) investigating an assassination attempt on a political candidate. Special agent San Ho (Kang Dong Won) is assigned to protect her.
The visuals are already causing buzz with fans praising the pair’s timeless looks and chemistry:
“It’s amazing how Kang Dong Won still maintains that fantasy-like face and proportions even at his age…”
“Kang Dong Won is still handsome, and Jun Ji Hyun is still beautiful.”
“Man, Kang Dong Won has been cool his entire life…”
“It’s not really an era where names alone guarantee a hit, but this one? This one is going to be worth watching for their visuals alone.”
“If it’s Kang Dong Won and Jun Ji Hyun, how could anyone not watch?”
The drama will have nine episodes total. The first three drop on September 10. Starting September 17, two new episodes will release weekly on Disney+.
Jun Ji Hyun’s mother-in-law went viral after reacting to the news of the cast pairing, adding to the hype.
