TVING gave a sneak peek into its highly anticipated drama Villains on December 11, releasing character posters along with a preview of the first two episodes.
In the high-stakes world of organized crime, a ruthless battle unfolds over the coveted Super Notes, exceptionally crafted counterfeit bills that are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. This gripping series delves into the intricate web of deceit and cunning strategies employed by those seeking to exchange fake currency for genuine wealth, as well as the formidable opponents determined to reclaim their losses.
Character posters reveal the captivating presence of J, played by Yoo Ji Tae, alongside Cha Ki Tae, portrayed by Lee Bum Soo, and Han Soo Hyun, brought to life by Lee Min Jung. The phrase "I'll help you make real money" is infused with J's magnetic charm, offering a peek into the mind of a mastermind with a flawless track record and unparalleled brilliance. Operating under the enigmatic codename "J", he sets out to orchestrate a complex web of ambition, beginning with a high-stakes counterfeit money scheme involving a casino dealer, a case that sent shockwaves globally.
Cha Ki Tae, once the leader of the National Intelligence Service's elite financial crimes unit, finds himself at rock bottom after becoming embroiled in a high-stakes casino counterfeit money scandal. With an unshakeable resolve burning within him, his piercing gaze and unrelenting mantra - "I'll follow the scent of real money, no matter what" - underscore his fierce dedication to tracking down the elusive J.
Lee Min Jung delivers a standout performance as Han Soo Hyun, a highly skilled artist specializing in banknote design. With the intriguing tagline "Real money - I'll create it for you," her character's collaboration with J promises to be an exciting development as they navigate the complex world of supernotes.
A sneak peek introduces J, a brilliant architect who's being chased by investigators, yet he appears surprisingly calm, flashing a smile as he reveals a cryptic connection to someone named Nick. The scene then shifts to Jang Joong Hyuk, the no-nonsense chief of the Seoul Metropolitan Police's Violent Crimes unit, who is joined by Cha Ki Tae, a determined NIS agent on a mission to track down culprits, and Han Soo Hyun, a talented designer who showcases her exceptional skills in creating the country's banknotes.
As the game board whirs to life, J gives Han Soo Hyun a cryptic instruction: produce 300,000 fake bills. This sets off a chain reaction, with the duo plotting to trade counterfeit cash for the real thing, only to be met with unforeseen resistance. The stage is set for a thrilling narrative, full of surprises. With a casual "Shall we get started?", J sets the game in motion, sparking a high-stakes battle between ruthless adversaries, all vying for dominance on a treacherous landscape of ambition and deceit.
The highly anticipated show Villains is set to premiere on December 18 through the TVING platform, with viewers across the Asia-Pacific region also able to access it on HBO Max, and those in Japan can catch it on Disney+ Japan.
