Synopsis
Visually stunning and immersive, Bad Guy is a dark
family/revenge drama tracing the story of a man bent on the destruction
of one family. Kim Nam Gil, who leaped to leading-man status with a
brilliant, breakout performance in the sensationally popular Queen Seon
Duk, turns in another powerhouse performance as a coldly calculating
revenge-seeker. Han Ga In (Dr. Kkang) and Oh Yun Soo (Jumong) co-star as
the women who are reluctantly drawn to him, while Kim Jae Wook, best
known for his role in Coffee Prince, gives his own breakout performance
as an emotionally scarred, wealthy playboy.
Shim Gun Wook (Kim
Nam Gil) has an ordinary happy childhood - until one day he is told he
is the bastard son of President Hong, head of the Haeshin Company, and
taken away from his adoptive parents. Joining the Hong family, he is
treated like a prince. When a DNA test reveals that he is not President
Hong's son however, he is unceremoniously cast out of the house, and
tragedy strikes his adoptive parents that same night. Adopted to the
U.S., he returns twenty years later bent on revenge. The Haeshin family
fall into his carefully constructed plan one by one, and only Hong Tae
Sung (Kim Jae Wook) who was taken in by the Hongs as the President's
real son, begins to suspect him. A further wrench in his plans appears
in the form of Moon Jae In (Han Ga In), a beautiful, gold-digging art
curator who at first pursues him, mistaking him for Tae Sung, and then
begins to fall for him.
