Family secrets, political drama, and more in SBS mystery-thriller Trolley

by Jenzy

Public opinion is a fickle mistress, and in SBS’s upcoming thriller Trolley, we’ll see how one wife’s secret has the potential to derail her husband’s political career, and the lengths she’ll go to keep it.

Kim Hyun-joo (Hellbound) stars as Kim Hye-joo, the supportive wife of Nam Jung-do — played by Park Hee-soon (A Modest Family) — a well-liked and altruistic assemblyman campaigning for his third term. Throughout her husband’s career, Hye-joo has been able to keep her identity — and dark past — from the press and lead a quiet life as the owner of a book repair shop. That is, until an unexpected turn of events exposes her secrets to public. The plot description is slim, but the questions it leaves us with are clear: Will Jung-do manage to weather the political storm that follows? Will their marriage survive?

Among others in the supporting cast, we have Juvenile Justice alums Kim Mu-yeol and Jung Soo-bin, respectively, playing Jang Woo-jae, Jung-do’s trustworthy chief aide, and Kim Soo-bin, a scrappy teen living in a group home after her parents’ divorce who has something to do with the Hye-joo’s secret.

The teaser shows us our political couple somberly taking a walk juxtaposed with the scenes of the aftermath of Hye-joo’s secret being revealed: Jung-do getting pelted with eggs, Hye-joo getting mobbed by reporters in front of their house, and police investigating a crime scene by a river. While the stress and suspense builds, Hye-joo narrates in the background: “Everyone has something that they never expected happen to them. No one plans for it to happen, but when it does, we call it an accident.”

With Kim Moon-gyo as the director and Ryu Bo-ra (Do You Like Brahms?) writing the script, Trolley will air in SBS’s Monday-Tuesday slot sometime this December.

Gosh this looks dark! Do you think they time releasing these dramas for this time of year for those living in a country where the nights get longer so the viewers can get into the atmosphere more easily?
