When a game-changing bioenhancer is stolen during a secret handover between Korean and US intelligence agencies, both governments will have to work together and race to recover it in The Tyrant – an unmissable new Korean drama coming exclusively to Disney+ later this year.
After years of toiling away on a secret project designed to drastically enhance human abilities, the Korean government’s plan is exposed by the US intelligence agencies. Furious about being kept in the dark, the US demands all samples be handed over and the project be immediately shut down. But when the covert handover is attacked by an unknown party, agents from both sides will have to work together to avoid the dangerous new formula to fall into the wrong hands.
The Tyrant stars Jo Yoonsu (True Beauty, Juvenile Justice) as skilled infiltrator Chae Jagyeong; Cha Seoungwon (Our Blues, A Korean Odyssey) as cold-blooded mercenary Lim Sang; Kim Seonho (Start-Up, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha) as Director Choe, the leader of the secret Korean project; and Kim Kangwoo (Le Grand Chef, Goodbye Mr. Black) as US intelligence agent Pau. The Tyrant is written and directed by Park Hoonjung (New World, The Witch: Part 1 & 2).
