Hacker, lawyer, and Lookout team up for vigilante justice

Yay! MBC’s new Monday-Tuesday drama Lookout has released more stills, which is great because I’d been thinking that the promo for this drama was a bit too quiet. Starring Lee Shi-young (Valid Love) and Kim Young-kwang (The Man Living in Our House), this action-thriller is about how a group of vigilante warriors take charge when the inherently corrupt political landscape of South Korea prevents justice from being carried out through the proper legal channels.

 

Lee Shi-young plays a police investigator who joins the vigilante organization when her daughter is brutally murdered, while ambitious lawyer Kim Young-kwang has his own hurtful past that leads him to the organization. A couple cuts of Kim Young-kwang and of his potential rival, a righteous lawyer played by Kim Tae-hoon (Fantastic) have been released.

 

The most recent images show Kim Seul-gi (Second to Last Love) who plays a hikkikomori, a painfully shy person who avoids other people. And the way she’s cautiously opening the door like a monster’s going to come out at any moment just tells me that the actress has gotten this role down pat. Her character is severely antisocial, but at the same time highly tech-savvy, leading her to engage with the world through a strange medium: CCTV.

 

Yup, that’s right, she’s the one who knows if you went ten over the speeding limit or were making out in the elevator. For the vigilante organization, she’ll be providing the much-needed role of surveilling the entirety of South Korea and finding out all the dirty little secrets of its movers and shakers. Shinee’s Key (Drinking Solo), who can also been seen in the stills below, is a genius hacker who works alongside Kim Seul-gi for the organization. I don’t know if there could be a loveline for the two of them, but I’d be totally onboard if there is.

 

Lookout begins airing on MBC starting May 22.

A look through the lens with first teaser for MBC’s Lookout

Wow, now that’s a teaser. MBC’s upcoming drama Lookout has just released its first shiny new look at the show, and it’s definitely got the gritty, stylish vibe from director Sohn Hyung-seok’s previous work Two Weeks. Which is great news, because Two Weeks was an awesome action-thriller involving a parent’s desperation and an anti-hero, all elements that Lookout shares. This drama was really on the peripheral of my radar, but this teaser has bumped the show to near the top of the list of all the May premieres.

 

Right off the bat, I like how half of the teaser is shown through a camera lens, referencing the method through which the vigilante organization that our main characters are members of operates: through Kim Seul-gi’s (Second to Last Love) tech-savvy, shut-in character whose only interaction with the outside world is monitoring CCTV feeds on her computer screen.

 

We first hear Lee Shi-young’s (Valid Love) character offscreen, desperately crying, “I promise you. I’ll definitely keep my promise this time.†The ex-violent crimes detective is shown running down an alley, being chased by none other than Kim Young-kwang (The Man Living in Our House), a ruthlessly ambitious lawyer who dreams of revenge. He reports to someone offscreen, “The sole witness has just disappeared.†Hmm, I wonder whether he’s the one to recruit Lee Shi-young into the vigilante organization, because when she asks who he is, he replies, “The one watching your every move.†Creepy.

 

It doesn’t look like they start off on the right foot, though, with Kim Young-kwang drawling, “Stop getting in my way,†and Lee Shi-young getting locked in a cell screaming. A chyron reads, “All silenced truths become poison,†as the ex-detective wonders what the lawyer has to do with her search for her daughter’s murderer.

 

We get brief glimpses of each of our main five characters, including Kim Tae-hoon (Fantastic), Shinee’s Key (Drinking Solo), as well as Kim Seul-gi, who appropriately watches our leads from above a tall building. Looks like Kim Young-kwang will have enemies of his own, as we see he gets knocked down bloodied with a gun in his hand, while a male voice asks menacingly, “It’s you, isn’t it? The one behind all of this.†We finish with our two leads pointing guns at each other, and then Lee Shi-young sobbing as she asks, “Why couldn’t you wait a little longer? I really was going to keep my promise this time.â€

 

Hot damn, this teaser was intense, fast-paced, and left me wanting moar, moar, MOAR. Well played, MBC, well played. I didn’t even know I needed an action-thriller in my life right now, but the combination of a team of vigilantes, a badass mother’s quest for revenge, and Kim Young-kwang in this teaser really hit the spot. That last one took me by surprise, ’cause I’ve always found Kim Young-kwang sort of bland, but he is really rocking the three-piece suit, the drawl, and just the overall villain-but-hero vibe. Hey, maybe I just like my guys evil and sexy. Let’s… not examine that too deeply.

 

MBC’s Lookout will follow Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People on May 22. Can the days BE any longer?

We’re only a few weeks away from the first broadcast of MBC’s heavily anticipated action-thriller series!

 

On May 4, MBC released the show’s first teaser trailer through NAVER TV. “Watchmen†(tentative) follows a group of people who are bound by the fact that they have all lost a loved one to crime and now work together to seek justice for the ones they’ve lost.

The trailer mainly focuses on main character Jo Soo Ji, a detective seeking revenge after the death of her daughter, and her initial interactions with Jang Do Han, an ambitious prosecutor played by Kim Young Kwang. Through the role, “Golden Cross†star Lee Si Young is expected to show off her acting range and ability in stunt work.

 

Viewers are also given their first look at the rest of the main cast, including Kim Tae Hoon, Kim Seul Gi, and SHINee’s Key.

“Watchmen†will air every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. KST, with the first episode scheduled to air on May 22.

I've seen both Lookout and Watchmen being used as the title, I guess we're going to have to wait and see which title mbc uses.
