omonatheydid | First Teaser for Lee Bo Young/Lee Sang Yoon Drama 'Whisper' (Reply)

Taking place primarily at a law firm called Taebaek, this drama tells the story of how a man and a woman go from being bitter enemies to lovers who risk everything on the strength of their relationship to fight corruption and punish the wicked.

The teaser starts with an ominous clapping of thunder while the copy reads: “Those who fight beasts, beware of turning into one yourselves.” Kim Chang-wan, who plays Lee Sang-yoon’s father, says to him in the voiceover that the question he should really be asking is what type of person he is and how far he’s willing to go. He places a diamond clip on Lee Sang-yoon’s tie, as flashes show his conflicted face.

We first see police officer Lee Bo-young hard at work investigating the Taebaek law firm, but her father, played by Kang Shin-il is dragged away, perhaps wrongfully framed, and she finds out that judge Lee Sang-yoon is in charge of her father’s trial. She scrambles to find out more evidence, but the copy describes her as “a detective trampled by monsters,” and eventually she realizes that the bad guys have all the power in the world. We’re told that there’s a cruel betrayal, and then she’s being interrogated by Lee Sang-yoon as a suspect.

The feeling of being chased to the brink pervades the teaser as we see clips of Lee Sang-yoon bowing to the undeserving justice system, mobsters attacking Lee Bo-young, and law firm CEO Kim Gab-soo out for a hunt. We get quick flashes of supporting leads Kwon Yul and Park Se-young staring intensely at the camera. All the while, the music crescendoes at the end of the final scene where a distraught, half-naked Lee Sang-yoon asks Lee Bo-young, “Why me?” To which she coldly stares down and says, “Because I believed in your promise.”

SBS’s new legal thriller Whisper will begin airing on March 27
