Tensed Atmosphere

There is an uncomfortable tension between the two men in the newly released clip, undercover. Jun Ji Hoon, being a travel photographer and with his fierce glaze in the eyes, betrays his real identity as a spy, diligently surveilling Derek Hyun’s actions. On the other hand, Derek Hyun, disguised as a diplomat, exhibits a cold yet gentle charm.

However, there was an impressive third photo of the two male leads where Derek Hyun tied up Jun Ji Hoon’s necktie with a friendly smile. This scene raised a question of how these two men got into the circumstances.

Eric commented that Derek Hyun’s character is a polar opposite of Jun Ji Hoon. He exudes cold sharpness yet possessed an intellectual charm. He also encourages viewers to anticipate on the two characters’ face-off.

However, Im Joo Hwan expressed his adoration on his co-star Eric that he is always looking forward to filming with him on his scenes. He also added that he wanted to learn more from while they were acting together.
