Actor Lee Seo-jin stars in OCN s original mystery series, Times ― his first TV series appearance since Trap on the same network in 2019. I have always been keen on such genre works, the actor said during the online media conference for the upcoming series, Tuesday. So, I mainly looked through scripts for mystery/thriller genre works. And out of those, I really enjoyed the script for Times, so I decided to join.
Release date Times will premiere on OCN on Saturday, February 20, and will run till March 28. There will be new episodes every Saturday and Sunday and each episode will be an hour long.
Plot
The official synopsis for Times states that Times is a political thriller about a woman in 2020, who can make a phone call to the past, and a man in 2015, who team up to save the assassinated president.
In 2015, Lee Jin-Woo (Lee Seo-Jin) works as a reporter, who pursues only the truth. In the year 2020, Seo Jung-In (Lee Joo-Young) works as a reporter too. She is passionate about her work. Somehow these two people connect via a phone call. They try to prevent the death of South Korean President Seo Ki-Tae (Kim Yeong Cheol), who is also Seo Jung-In s father. Soon, Lee Jin-Woo and Seo Jung-In face a dangerous truth.
