It’s a case of switched identities for Yoon Kyun-sang (Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People) in upcoming drama Doubtful Victory, where he goes from being a felon to a fake detective. We get our first glimpse of him in the newly released teaser, which begins as he’s being chased after stealing a corpse.
Eventually when he gets caught, he goes to prison because he is framed for murder. There he becomes Death Row Inmate Kim Jong-sam, and is imprisoned for ten years before he somehow escapes his convicted fate and gains a new identity overnight.
The text that flashes onscreen asks: “How did he become a police detective?” The police ID badge showing his face states that he’s Officer Oh Il-seung. So he begins his dual life; he even seems to get along with his fellow cops, although they’re a bit surprised to see him at first.
But one of his colleagues, played by Jung Hye-sung (Manhole), remains suspicious and demands to know whether he’s a real cop and what he wants. A series of action shots are shown where Yoon Kyun-sang is trapped underwater, engages in rooftop chases, and much more. The copy says: “Fake Detective Oh Il-seung will win this round!”
The teaser ends with Yoon Kyun-sang contemplating a set of keys, thinking his thoughts aloud: “I was really going to live nicely this time around.” Ooh, this looks a lot more comedic than I anticipated, and Yoon Kyun-sang definitely has experience with that (see: Three Meals a Day), so I’m looking forward to his new cop/prison-escapee role here.
SBS Monday-Tuesday drama Doubtful Victory will air its first episode on November 27.
