Reasons to watch: Remember when dramaland was obsessed with multiple personalities, magicians, and that sort of thing? Well right now (as if you couldn’t tell) it’s obsessed with married women getting thrown to the wolves as their lives and marriages fall apart around them, mostly due to Husbands With Secrets. Now, it’s time to add to that oeuvre with Hide. Starring Lee Bo-young (yay!) and Lee Moo-saeng (yay!) as her husband, she goes tumbling down the rabbit hole. Her journey is complicated by both Lee Chung-ah and Lee Min-jae (double yays!), so even if the premise feels all too familiar, the casting is heavenly. Let’s see how it goes.
It’s also worth noting that the drama was produced for streaming service Coupang Play, but then claimed by JTBC to air in their weekend slot. Our PD has also done much lighter fare prior to this, so I’ll be interested to see where that takes us.
TL;DR: Lee Bo-young gets drawn into a mystery surrounding her missing husband
