Upcoming MBC drama Kairos has finalized its main casting lineup. Kairos is a timeslip fantasy thriller drama about rescuing lost loved ones. It looks like there’s at least two timelines to keep track of. One month in the future, there’s a man who is despairing due to the kidnapping of his young daughter. One month in the past, there’s a woman who is trying to pursue the truth behind the disappearance of her mother.
Shin Sung-rok (Vagabond) plays a man who has spent all his energy on attaining success and he became the youngest-ever director at his company. He seemingly has everything, including a perfect family with Nam Gyuri (Different Dreams) as his beautiful wife who is a professional violinist. However, one day he loses all that he has, including his daughter. Desperate to recover everything he lost, he begins to communicate with Lee Se-young (Memorist), a woman from the past timeline.
Lee Se-young’s character has lived a hard life. In order to save up to pay for her mom’s surgery, she works part-time gigs as well as being a full-time student. Then, one day her mother disappears and she’s at a complete loss. She receives a communication from Shin Sung-rok’s character from the future, and they begin to pursue their goals together.
Ahn Bo-hyun (Itaewon Class) plays a department head at Shin Sung-rok’s company who’s intelligent and capable. He’s the first one to notice a problem in one of Shin Sung-rok’s projects at work.
Kairos is scheduled to air on MBC in the latter half of this year.
