KBS has officially announced that The Husband (working title, previously The Culmination of Marriage) is lined up on this year’s summer schedule, with Namgoong Min (Our Movie), Kim Dae-myung (The Art of Negotiation), Lee Seol (Our Movie), and Lee Sang-hee (The Price of Confession) headlining the suspense and crime-thriller.
The title character is Kang Tae-joo (Namgoong Min), a hospital director and neurosurgeon whose marriage has been on the rocks for quite some time. After much deliberation, he finally conveys his intentions to divorce. But in a cruel twist of fate, his not-yet-ex-wife is kidnapped the very next day and Tae-joo must puts his own life at risk in order to save her before it’s too late.
First, though, Tae-joo has to uncover the culprit and this story’s two-faced villain is Noh Man-hee (Kim Dae-myung). On the surface, Man-hee comes across as a courteous and warm-hearted soul who runs an after-school academy with a highly-rated reputation. But Man-hee’s gentle smiles conceal the true cold nature within.
The wife in question is Go Se-yoon (Lee Seol), who is a board member at the same hospital where Tae-joo works. Perhaps, she and her husband were once madly in love. But in recent days, Se-yoon has been feeling torn between affection and resentment.
Adding to the mystery, Se-yoon is puzzled by Kim Kyung-ae (Lee Sang-hee) as well, who suddenly appeared one day and became a friend in Se-yoon’s troubled life. Although Kyung-ae seems to be perfectly amiable and kind, Se-yoon can’t shake the niggling suspicion that there’s something about Kyung-ae that feels off.
Weaving its tale over weekends, beginning on July 4, production for KBS’s The Husband has scripts by Jung Jae-ha alongside co-directing by PD Kim Min-tae and PD Kim Jung-hyun (Hyper Knife). The latter PD Kim has also worked with Namgoong Min previously on tvN’s 2020 series, Awaken.
