Teasers for "Argon"

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

The short 8-episode drama is the newest project from PD Lee Yoon-jung of Cheese in the Trap and Coffee Prince, and tells the story of an investigative broadcast news team called Argon. Kim Joo-hyuk plays Argon’s team leader and the face of his network, an idealist who treats his responsibility to deliver the truth like his life depends on it. While the public only sees him as a trustworthy anchor and a gentleman in a suit, behind the scenes he’s a picky perfectionist who gets called the devil by his staff because he works them into the ground.

Chun Woo-hee plays a reporter who gets transferred to the Argon team with only three months left on her temporary contract. She’s got average specs but boundless energy and passion for the job, and she’s a conspiracy theorist who believes that her insatiable curiosity is her greatest asset. The drama is about her growth as she joins the Argon team and gets grilled and trained to within an inch of her life by Kim Joo-hyuk, and comes out a real reporter on the other side.

Kim Joo-hyuk stands on a rooftop building with loose papers in his hands, and says grimly, “News is facts, you bastards.” Then he flings the papers into the air, and he yells the copy that comes onscreen: “News without facts is trash.”

Argon premieres Monday, September 4.

This show being only 8 episodes is definitely a selling point to me. There should be more short dramas like this.
