Trolley is a new SBS Korean Drama written by Ryu Bo-ri and directed by Kim Moon-kyo. The SBS K-drama premieres on December 19, 2022, and can be streamed by international fans on Netflix.
It airs every Monday and Tuesday, but the number of episodes is yet to be confirmed by the broadcast channel. The show will take up the slot which had previously been occupied by the college romantic comedy, Cheer Up.
Ahead of the premiere of Trolley, here's a quick look at everything you need to know about the K-drama.
Trolley: What to expect from the upcoming drama?
According to asianwiki, the show's plot centers on a secret that the lead character Kim Hye-ju has kept for years. However, the secret is outed and the show portrays the consequences of the same. The official plot synopsis reads:
"Joong-Do and Hye-Ju are a married couple. Joong-Do is a member of the National Assembly and he is driven to make the world a better place. His wife Hye-Ju runs a book repair shop. She hides a secret, that even Joong-Do does not know. Hye-Ju wants a peaceful and normal life. Even though her husband is a politician, Hye-Ju has never sought publicity or appeared in the media. Due to this case, Hye-Ju's secret becomes public."
The teaser for Trolley centers on this very secret as well. Continually, the short video attempts to pique the interest of the audience by hinting at something that is at play here in the background.
Kim Hyun-joo as Kim Hye-ju continually looks tortured, and this clearly indicates that the stakes are extremely high. Will her secret drive a wedge between husband and wife, or will it bring them closer to facing the truth? All of this will be revealed over the course of the show.
