The Tyrant

In The Tyrant, former black-ops agent Lim Sang (played by Cha Seung Won) finds himself drawn back into the dangerous world he once left behind. As part of a classified government project known as the “Tyrant Program,” Lim Sang was molded into a highly skilled operative, trained to handle the most sensitive missions. Now, with secrets from the Tyrant Program threatening to surface, Lim Sang faces an order to eliminate anyone who could expose the truth, including those he once called allies. Joining the fray is Choi Guk Jang (portrayed by Kim Seon Ho), an intelligence agent determined to dismantle the Tyrant Program. As Lim Sang’s path crosses with Guk Jang’s, both men realize that their missions may ultimately align. Guk Jang brings his own vendetta to the mission, vowing to end the program that manipulated and harmed so many.

Packed with suspense, action, and moral dilemmas, The Tyrant explores the lengths people will go to protect power and secrets. This drama offers audiences a thrilling journey into espionage, loyalty, and the cost of obedience, backed by stellar performances from Cha Seung Won, Kim Seon Ho, and Kim Kang Woo.
