The beginning will definitely be full of question marks, but there are many factors to wait until the end.
The original Disney+ series 『Pukguksong』 is about Moon-joo (Jeon Ji-hyun), who has built an international reputation as a U.N. ambassador, confronting a huge truth threatening the Korean Peninsula with unidentified special agent San-ho (Kang Dong-won), who has to protect her as she pursues the background of the presidential candidate shooting. It has drawn explosive attention due to the meeting between Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won from the casting dagger.
Before the release on the 10th, such 'Polaris' first revealed the first three episodes to reporters. Out of a total of nine episodes, the third episode, which was first revealed to the reporters, was the beginning of the drama of 『Polaris』, and the process of falling into a whirlpool of fate without knowing it was included. In the process, the process of meeting a mysterious man coral and relying on each other depending on the surrounding situation is contained in the third episode.
酉? From the sudden shooting of her husband, Jun-ik (Park Hae-joon), a politician running for election, to the existence of things that threaten Moon-joo and those around her, and the bare faces of those who thought they could be trusted before but now can't be trusted, the `Polaris' continues to build question marks. In this process, it is also interesting to join hands with Ok-sun (Lee Mi-sook), her mother-in-law, who was disappointed with her. While Moon-joo accepts the presidential nomination to find out the truth about her husband's death, Ok-sun is supporting her daughter-in-law as a queen maker based on her cool-headed judgment. Although they are now joined by the death of their son and the presidential election, the images of the two, who are not fully cooperating, are expected to continue to instill tension in the play.
In this process, "Polarity" depicts the Korean Peninsula, the center of large-scale international politics that could only be expected in American dramas. In addition to drawing the strange relationship between President Shin Kyung-shin (Kim Hae-sook) and Moon-joo by bringing political relations with North Korea to the center, the scale of the story is growing to a level never seen in domestic dramas as various characters emerge, including the mysterious words and threats delivered by his brother-in-law and prosecutor Jun Sang (Oh Jung-se), and the NIS chief Unhak (Yoo Jae-myung) and Anderson (John Cho) at the White House. In the beginning, you will fall into it with a lot of questions about why these characters appear and what kind of story build-up is taking place, but it is trustworthy because it is a meeting between writer Jeong Moon-kyung and director Kim Hee-won, who have created a close double-track design and an explosive ending of the second half through his previous work Little Women.
The meeting between Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won is the center of 'Polaris'. This is because the threat continues to be posed to the gatekeeper after the shooting of Junik, and the existence of a coral that protects the gatekeeper by sacrificing its body feels important. They are two people who are overwhelmed by the atmosphere and overwhelmed by their beauty just by looking at them, but they are not simply portrayed as an adult romance between a cool, pretty, and handsome man and woman. They also have a clear narrative that falls for each other, and with the story of 'Dream', which continues to appear in the beginning, they build questions about what kind of relationship they have and fall for each other.
It is a work that has a lot to see. One side burns a train and makes an explosive threat, while the other side continues to create question marks with a political hand fight. In the complex international situation, the presidential election has even brought about a stagnant issue. Even in the midst of war, love is as good as romance. If it's another work, it might feel a little difficult, and 'How do I retrieve the rice cake?' worries would have preceded it, but the name Jeong Moon-kyung offsets this. This is because we are more curious about how Jung Sang-kyung's ability to recover rice cakes, which has already written scenarios for movies 'Kind Geumja-si', 'Bat', 'Bat', 'Baby Lady', and 'Decision to Break Up' with director Park Chan-wook, will unfold. On top of that, the presence of Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won is a good reason to see 'Polarity'.
There are nine episodes in total. It got more and more interesting as I finished the build-up to the 3rd episode. The full-fledged story is expected to unfold from the fourth episode.
