The Real Villains Appear after Hide Episode 4: A Korean Drama Review



Hide is a new Korean drama series airing on JTBC. It is in the mystery and thriller genre. Starring Park Bo-young, this series centers on a prosecutor turned housewife who unveils secrets in connection to a powerful group of people while looking for her husband Cha Sung-jae (played by Lee Mu0Saeng) who's an attorney and CEO of their company.

As usual, this is an acting showcase for Bo-young, starting off as a caring mother, then turning into a grieving wife hounded by her husband's secrets, and finally as she regains her confidence and sharpness while squaring off with the devious Ma Kang, her seemingly harmless neighbor Ha Yeon-joo (played by Lee Chung-ah) turns out to be watching her every move and might be part of the shadow organization manipulating the string of events.

The teaser for episode 5 shows Yeon-joo threatening Chung-ah with a video of her husband beaten up and kidnapped. Apparently, she's supposed to take over her husband's unfinished task.

I recommend watching this as there is a new piece of the puzzle to unravel every episode. The series also stars Lee Min-jae as Do Jin-woo, a rough fellow who's willing to do anything for money but can be a royal friend.

This Korean drama is an adaptation of the Welsh series which aired on BBC, Keeping Faith. Hide streams on Viki and Coupang Play.

K-drama elements present: money laundering though foundation, unexpected villain, prosecutor
