New promos have been released for the upcoming fourth season of the Voice series, which is now on tvN, including new stills and two video teasers.
The tagline for the new season is The Time of Reckoning and the drama brings back Lee Hana (A Piece of Your Mind) in the central role as voice profiler Kang Kwon-joo. Similar to past seasons, the story is set around the emergency call center where crimes are reported and the team works against the clock in order to catch the culprit within the “golden time”. The new villain that appears, however, possesses the same heightened ability to recognize sounds like Lee Hana’s character, but uses this skill for horrific purposes.
Voice 4 also introduces a new police detective played by Song Seung-heon (Will You Have Dinner With Me) named Derek Jo, who comes from the LAPD. Highly principled, he is strict about going by the book and does not believe in compromises. As such his first priority on the scene is to rescue and protect anyone alive. Once he determines to catch a culprit, he doesn’t rest until they are behind bars.
The first teaser starts with Lee Hana who seems to be re-living trauma from past seasons. In a sequence of flashback shots, we get a glimpse of Lee Hana confronting criminals along with police detectives Jang Hyuk (Tell Me What You Saw) from season one and Lee Jin-wook (Sweet Home) in seasons two and three. The video clip ends with a close-up of Lee Hana back on the job when a crisis call comes in. In voice-over Lee calls out, “Golden time team, it’s time again to mobilize.”
The second teaser looks back at the past villains in a sequence of scenes. Park Byung-eun (Oh My Baby) sits in a rocking chair and says, “That ear, there’ll be a price to pay for it I should think?” Kwon Yul (Voice 3) exclaims, “It’s been a long time. This feeling.” Kim Jae-wook (Her Private Life) threatens while wielding a weapon, “I told you, why did you misbehave?” The video comes to a close in a similar way, with Lee Hana taking in a call. The caller declares, “Code zero. A situation has occurred.” Lee responds, “Golden time team, I request that you mobilize again.”
Directing for the drama is PD Shin Yong-hwi and scripts will be penned by Ma Jin-won, who wrote all three of the previous Voice seasons.
tvN thriller Voice 4 will be 14 episodes long and is currently set to premiere sometime next month.
