On Thursday, May 16, the upcoming drama Connection featuring Ji-sung, Jeon Mi-do, Kwon Yul and Kim Kyung-nam dropped the relationship chart before the release of the drama. This character relationship chart will come in handy for viewers before they dive into this crime thriller.

The chart shows the complex connections between the main characters Jang Jae-Kyung played by Ji-sung and Oh Yoon-jin depicted by Jeon Mi-do, including their long friendship, conflict, and family ties.

Jang Jae-kyung is a highly trusted and respected Narcotics detective within the police force. However, he becomes addicted to a drug given by a mysterious figure. Meanwhile, Oh Yoon-jin is a reporter for Anhyun Economic Daily. She pays no attention to the typical hierarchy at the workplace and believes that money plays the biggest role in a person's life.


Connection featuring Ji-sung and Jeon Mi-do: Characters' relationship explored

In Connection, Jang Jae-kyung and Oh Yoon-jin first meet as classmates at the Jeogang High School. Actor Cho Han-kyung and actress Kim Min-ju will play their younger versions respectively.

On the other hand, Oh Yoon-jin is shown to maintain a friendly connection with Kim Woo-seong (Lee Sang-jun) who is her junior at Anhyun Economic Daily. Notably, the leader of Jeogang High School Alumni, Won Jong-soo (Kim Kyung-nam) is also connected with Yoon-jin.

As we follow along the chart, we see the Two Star Holdings CEO Heo Ju-song (Jung Soon-won). Besides him is Jeong Yun-ho (Lee Kang-wook), a taxi driver. Kang Si-jeong (Ryu Hye-rin) is the driver's wife and a classmate of Jeong Sang-ui (Park Geun-rok). However, their relationship seems to raise suspicion.

Furthermore, on Won Jong-soo’s right, we see Park Jun-seo (Yoon Na-mu) who is connected with his wife Choi Ji-yeon (Jung Yu-min), and a high school student Min Hyeon-woo (Han Hyun-jun). The nature of their relationship and connection with each other is yet to be answered.

Jang Jae-kyung works under and is trusted by Anhyeon Police Station Narcotics Department Leader Jeong Yeon-ju (Yoon Sa-bong). His team members include Inspector Kim Chang-soo (Jeong Jae-kwang) and Oh Soo-hyeon (Seo Ira).

On the other hand, Violent Crimes Department Inspector Yoo Kyung-hwan (Park Jeong-pyo) is Jeong Yeon-ju's rival and is expected to confront Jang Jae-kyung. Inspector Park In-soo (Kim Min-sik) and Min Jeong-guk (Byun Hyo-jun) work under him in the same department.

Meanwhile, in search of the drug gang leader, Jang Jae-kyung meets Gong Jin-wook (Hee-jae Yoo), a drug gang member.
