[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] "Director Kim" So Ji-sub sets out to rescue his daughter.

In the third episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama “Director Kim,” airing on the 3rd, Director Kim (So Ji-sub) visits his friend Seong Han-su (Choi Dae-hoon) while searching for his missing daughter Min-ji (Seo Su-min). The episode depicts the two of them teaming up to face off against unidentified agents in a breathtaking action sequence.
In the drama, Director Kim, dressed in a black suit, keenly monitors the enemies’ movements, while Seong Han-su, wearing a taekwondo uniform, confronts them with a resolute gaze, heightening the tension. The two then stand back-to-back, pistols in hand, keeping watch in all directions, exuding cinematic visuals and overwhelming charisma.
Expectations are high to see what kind of teamwork these two—who have shared life-and-death experiences for so long—will display as they reunite as a team. In particular, the show presents an expanded “Dad Universe” through a blend of powerful strikes, fast-paced action, and the unique bromance between the two.

So Ji-sub and Choi Dae-hoon maximized the drama’s tension through their all-out performances and flawless action chemistry. So Ji-sub portrayed Director Kim’s desperation to save his daughter at all costs and his unwavering resolve with a commanding presence, while Choi Dae-hoon gave a multi-dimensional performance of Seong Han-su’s loyalty—willingly putting himself on the line for his friend even amidst his signature cheerfulness. The synergy of the “lawless middle-aged bromance” created by the two actors is expected to leave a deeper impression than the action alone.
The production team stated, “In Episode 3 of ‘Director Kim,’ Director Kim and Seong Han-su team up again, accelerating the full-scale ‘Dad Universe’ action,” adding, “The fast-paced plot, exhilarating action, and the bromance chemistry between the two actors will provide viewers with a thrilling sense of catharsis.”
“Director Kim” is a “Dad Universe” revenge action drama about “the most ordinary dad in the world” who becomes “the most dangerous man in the world” to fight and reclaim his only daughter. According to Netflix’s official site, Tudum, on the 1st, “Director Kim” ranked third on the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows list immediately upon its release, drawing intense interest from fans worldwide.
