Han Seok-kyu: Watching the Watchers in OCN Crime Thriller

I haven’t picked up an OCN show in a while, so this show will be the perfect opportunity to dive back into the world of crime and thrillers. OCN’s Watcher recently released a new teaser clip for the show, featuring Han Seok-kyu (Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim) as the lone wolf leader of the internal investigations team that is central to the channel’s newest crime thriller.

The teaser starts with a quite literally narrow focus, showing Han Seok-kyu alone at a table with his computer and files laid out in front of him. He’s listening intently to a recording device, replaying a small snippet of someone who I presume is suspected of corruption. The focus widens on Han Seok-kyu’s face, and then blacks out as he asks the question posed on the screen: “Who watches the watchers?” Han Seok-kyu walks over to a one-way glass, and interestingly, it looks like he’s the one “being watched” inside an interrogation room. We see a shadow of a man’s face on the other side, who walks outside the frame as the teaser ends.

Posters of the show have also been released, each featuring a super close-up of each of the main characters’ faces, including Seo Kang-joon (The Third Charm) and Kim Hyun-joo (Miracle That We Met). I don’t think there’s a real weak link in this trio, so I’m excited to see the three of them become a reluctant team and learn more about the mysterious tragedy that links all three characters together.

OCN’s Watcher will premiere in July, following currently airing Voice 3.
