New stills have been released for OCN’s upcoming Trap which feature Lee Seo-jin (Marriage Contract) looking sharp in a gray suit.

Set to air in the new year, Trap is a hard-boiled thriller about a successful anchorman who’s beloved by the nation with a loving family. However, in one ill-fated moment he is ensnared in a trap and loses everything.

Lee Seo-jin will be playing the beloved anchorman, Kang Woo-hyun, who seems to have it all. Ranked yearly as the country’s most trustworthy news source, he is well respected by society and often asked to run for public office. He’s successful in business as well and always busy. Yet, he values his family and still finds time to be a doting husband and father. However, he and his family go on a trip together one day and everything changes. Sung Dong-il (Your Honor) will costar as a veteran detective who crosses paths with Lee Seo-jin

Directing will be helmed by Park Shin-woo (White Night) and Nam Sang-wook (Special Affairs Team TEN) will be writing. PD Lee Jae-gyu will be part of the creative team as producer, who worked with Lee Seo-jin in the past on Damo.

I do love Lee Seo-jin on variety, but it’s good to see him back in a drama as it’s been a quite a while since Marriage Contract ended in 2016. It sounds like this project will be a little different compared to his other works of late. He’s played a lot of well regal, put-together characters, but mostly in melodramas or sageuks. I’m looking forward to seeing him in a thriller, especially when Sung Dong-il is his costar. I hope it’s a good one!

OCN’s Trap is currently set to air in the first half of 2019.
