What is Unmasked About?

Unmasked is a gripping K-drama that follows the journey of an investigative team led by the bold and determined Oh So-ryong, a TV producer on a mission to uncover the truth.

Their latest task involves solving a 20-year-old cold case about a famous actor's mysterious disappearance.

With her strong sense of justice, So-ryong leads her team through a web of conspiracies, corruption, and moral dilemmas. Her new, reluctant teammate Han Do, a self-centered rookie producer, must navigate the intense pressure of their mission, despite his resistance to teamwork and hidden past.

The series explores themes of integrity, ambition, and the cost of uncovering dark secrets, with the team tackling issues like a dangerous cult linked to a deadly drug and a disturbing case of cat killings. So-ryong’s reckless pursuit of the truth and Han Do’s mysterious loyalties add to the suspense and drama.

With Kim Hye-soo’s return to the small screen after three years, Unmasked promises to deliver an intense, thought-provoking drama with high-stakes investigations that dive deep into societal issues. Will the team uncover the truth and save their show, or will the web of secrets trap them? The series tackles both the corruption within the system and the personal struggles that come with exposing the truth.
