My secret Terrius review


Drama name: My secret Terrius/ Terius behind me (literal title)
Country: South Korea
Year: Sept- Nov 2018


Came across this drama through the Disqus kdrama channels that I am following. The plot seemed interesting with a secret agent and of course, So Ji Sub as the male lead! Was looking forward to his latest drama after completing Oh My Venus recently. 

So, what's this drama about?

Kim Bon was a NIS (National Intelligence Service) agent on a mission 3 years ago in Poland involving nuclear technology from North Korea. His informant (his girlfriend) was killed on the final day of the mission. The last piece of information that she handed to him was missing and Kim Bon had been blamed for betraying the NIS for it. He had been on the run ever since then. 

Present day, Kim Bon was living a quiet life but he was still on the case to figure out who killed his girlfriend and to find the mole within the NIS agency. He lived opposite a normal family when one day, the husband of that household passed away. 

He befriended the wife of that family, Ko Ae-Rin as he realised that her husband's death was somehow connected to the mission that he was investigating all these years. 

The story goes on with Kim Bon and Ko Ae-Rin finding out the truth behind her husband's death as well as a bigger underground group named Cornerstone that is involved in international affairs. 


Overall thoughts

I expected more action and suspense from this drama but it ended being more comedic with many funny scenes. I did enjoy the show and followed it each week with much enthusiasm and excitement. However, there were times where you have to leave your brain behind and just take the drama as it is. :D 

Best parts of the drama

Kim Bon's blue sports car....so much eye candy! I like cars too, Mr Kim Bon! ;D


The aww moments where Kim Bon spent with the twins... 


KIS ladies! (Kingcastle Information System) ;D It consists of the residents in the Kingcastle apartment complex who act as an internal security as well as information central for all the gossips XD... They actually function even better than NIS, they managed to catch the illusive Magician killer! :O 


Lots of bromance, between Kim Bon and the KIS guy as well as the somewhat bad guy, Jin Young Tae... But that nose kiss was just too much... I cannot... XD


The JJ International office, the two cafes as well as Kim Bon's apartment interior was quite nice as well... 


Special mention

The second lead couple in the drama was sweet... I enjoyed the scenes with them... 


Conclusion

As I have mentioned earlier, you would need to leave your logic behind while watching this drama at some point... Kim Bon finally realised who the mole was in the NIS agency. It was the chief whom he had trusted and respected. He was the mysterious person who shot him back in Poland three years ago and stole the last piece of information needed to end that mission. 


No worries drama fans, it is a happy ending for Kim Bon and Ko Ae-Rin! They meet again after one year at Seoul Tower where they had promised to have mojito together... The story ends with another mission, to disguise as husband and wife and fly to New York together. Yay! Does this mean they are going to do a part two? Nah, I hope not... 

This is a light hearted drama with an equal balance of action, suspense, comedy and romance. I would recommend this show to anyone solely for the badass blue sports car... Hahah!! I will leave you now with cool walking poses from the drama... Until we meet again... ;D Thanks for stopping by...

  1. I really disliked how nosy the leading actress was. I mean, seriously? You'd jeopardize the lives of kids just to satisfy your curiosity?

    2. I completely agree with you. Especially the part where she finds out the Kong’s Bag hideout. Like it wasn’t even as if they were close or even friends. They weren’t. She was wayyyy to nosy and thought she was too smart

    3. Haha! Sorry for the late reply, thanks for your comment and stopping by! Indeed, it was a good thing Kong's bag was the good guys camp, otherwise she would be in deep trouble...
