JTBC’s “Undercover” revealed its second teaser video!

Ji Jin Hee and Kim Hyun Joo take starring roles in this upcoming drama that’s based on a BBC series of the same name.

In “Undercover,” Ji Jin Hee plays Han Jung Hyun, an agent with the National Intelligence Service who’s been hiding his true identity after he fell in love with Choi Yeon Soo (played by Kim Hyun Joo). Choi Yeon Soo is a human rights lawyer who becomes the first head of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO).

Although Han Jung Hyun has thrown away everything he has and lives under a fake identity, his secret life gets caught up in an uncontrollable whirlwind when his wife Choi Yeon Soo becomes nominated for the CIO position. Meanwhile, Choi Yeon Soo made the pursuit of justice and truth her life mission, but when she’s considered for the post at the CIO, she encounters a shocking truth. The show follows the pair’s fierce battle to protect love and justice from the huge forces that dominate and shake the country for profit.

A new teaser video for “Undercover” highlights a tense confrontation between Choi Yeon Soo and Han Jung Hyun, showing the deep crack that’s formed between the couple.

Choi Yeon Soo points a gun at Han Jung Hyun, and her eyes convey the distress she’s experiencing inside. She asks in a voice over, “Who are you?” and Han Jung Hyun looks back at her with an expression full of sorrow.

In the drama, Han Sun Hwa and Yeon Woo Jin appear as younger versions of Choi Yeon Soo and Han Jung Hyun. A flashback to their first meeting shows the younger Choi Yeon Soo calling out to Han Jung Hyun, asking him for his name. He replies with a smile, “I’m Han Jung Hyun.”

The two characters loved each other deeply and trusted in one another, and the teaser shows their happy married life together. However, all the while, Han Jung Hyun is hiding a secret. “In order to protect, he had to hide it,” reads the text.

A unexpected crisis occurs when Choi Yeon Soo is nominated for the CIO position. Han Jung Hyun finds himself in danger, as he’s being chased by something. He begs her in a voice over, “Yeon Soo, trust me. Please.” As she confronts him with the gun, Choi Yeon Soo yells, “You’re lying. You’re not Han Jung Hyun. Who are you?!”
