Jun Ji-hyun + Kang Dong-won = The Magic of Tempest
Tempest is an ongoing K-drama that blends political intrigue, espionage, and romance into a sleek, high-stakes thriller. The story follows Seo Mun-ju (Jun Ji-hyun), a former diplomat and UN ambassador whose life takes a dramatic turn when her husband—once a presidential candidate—is assassinated. Stepping into his political shoes, she not only pursues justice but also uncovers layers of conspiracy that threaten the nation itself. Along the way, she crosses paths with Baek San-ho (Kang Dong-won), a mysterious agent whose loyalty and intentions keep viewers guessing.
What sets Tempest apart is its mix of star power and cinematic quality. Jun Ji-hyun delivers a powerhouse performance, balancing vulnerability and strength, while Kang Dong-won matches her with quiet intensity. Their chemistry is one of the show’s biggest highlights, thus making me their biggest fan both of and on screen.
