'Criminal MInds' Drops Short, Intense Trailer; Teases Roles Played By Lee Joon Gi, Moon Chae Won, Son Hyun Joo
The Korean version of CBS' "Criminal Minds" has recently dropped its official full trailer and it promises an intense concept in addition to its all-star cast. The trailer featured the NCI team headlined by "Scarlet Heart Ryeo" star Lee Joon Gi, "Goodbye Mr. Black's" Moon Chae Won and veteran actor Son Hyun Joo.
The trailer gave sneak peek into the intense drama and the complicated cases that the NCI team will be dealing with for the duration of "Criminal Mind's" 20-episode first season. The trailer showed Son Hyun Joo leading the team, a bruised Lee Joon Gi looking tired and serious and a look at the rest of the cast who will make up the team.
"Criminal Minds" will follow the original concept of its US counterpart and will revolve around a team of agents who will use behavioral analysis to crack the complicated cases being handled by the National Intelligence Service. According to a report y Soompi, Son Hyun Joo will play Korea's best profiler and will become the leader of the NCI behavioral analysis unit for the NCI's crime division. He is expected to be the counterpart of Aaron Hotchner, the role played by Thomas Gibson for the first 11 seasons of the American version of the show.
Lee Joon Gi, who was confirmed to join the cast last April along with Moon Chae Won, will play the role of expert profiler Kim Hyun Joon. The role is expected to tap into different facets of Lee Joon Gi's acting as his role is that of an easygoing man off duty but turns into a completely different level of intensity when he steps into a crime scene. His role is considered to be a maverick and is expected to surprise his team with unorthodox ways of achieving breakthroughs.
Moon Chae Won, who joined the "Criminal Minds" cast after the lead female role was rejected by Kim Ah Joong, will play the role of straight edged agent Ha Seon Woo, who always takes command of the situation and does not hesitate to throw herself into dangerous situations in a moment's notice.
Along with Lee Joon Gi, Moon Chae Won and Son Hyun Joo, the cast is rounded up by an equally talented pool of actors which include Lee Sun Bin, Go Yoon, Yoo Sun, and Kim Young Chul. "Criminal Minds" will start airing on tvN on July 26 at 10 pm and will be the first drama to take on the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
