Premiere Watch: Connection
by missvictrix
Time slot: Friday-Saturday
Broadcaster: SBS
Genre: Crime, thriller, mystery, suspense, action
Episode count: 14
Global streamer: Viki
Reasons to watch: I’m all about this cast! Ji Sung, Jeon Mi-do, Kwon Yul, and Kim Kyung-nam take the lead in our rather harrowing crime mystery. Ji Sung is an ace detective (but of course) who is forcibly kidnapped in the line of duty and becomes addicted to drugs. But in addition to that mess, he’s investigating the death of an old classmate which is where the shady also-classmates Kwon Yul and Kim Kyung-nam come in. If you’re ready for an intense and convoluted tale — with a cast that can more than set this thing ablaze — this might be the drama for you.
TL;DR: Ji Sung is back on our screens and I’m here for it

Ji Sung was absolutely fantastic in innocent Defendant, so glad to see him doing another crime thriller.
Jeon Mi-do has my eternal goodwill from Hospital Playlist , happy to see her gaining prominence as a leading lady.
Looking forward to this.
P.S. how is this already rated a 10 even though it hasnt premiered yet

Maybe the 10 rating is a default setting as user ratings is 0. 🤷♀️

I am absolutely ready for this drama.
I've only just finished THE DEFENDANT. Let's see if CONNECTION will be as nerve-wracking (very likely), but hopefully a little less makjang.
And again, I'm wondering why a drama that hasn't started yet already has a rating.

^^ Oh! I just replied to Soyesterday re: ratings. Since there are no user ratings yet, the 10 seems to be a default setting.

I'm excited for this, but every time I think about watching a crime thriller live, I have The Killing Vote flashbacks and I wonder if I should just wait until it's all out...
Still, I hope it's great! To the drama and the Beanies who live-watch: Fighting!

Hahaha more and more I'm crossing over...
There is still something really fun about a live-watch, but I think I'm going to wait for just the right drama and be much more selective now.

Viki hasn’t licensed it in my region so not so much a “global” streamer. Wtf. I was looking forward to watching Jeon Mido.

Thank you, SBS for bringing back Ji Sung and partnering him with Jeon Mi Do. I love the two of them! I never thought of this pair acting together in a crime drama before...but never say never in Korean dramaland. As for the actors who are playing the villians, I am sure they are going to be just as amazing...and are more than capable to match the acting intensity of Ji Sung in a crime drama.

I am so excited for this! All I need is Ji Sung in it and I will watch. Having Jeon Mi-do and Kwon Yul is a big bonus! Ji Sung will make this come alive, no matter the story so its here and we are ready!

Re: TL;DR - I'm here for it too. But will try to wait and then binge. Let's see if I can wait it out or succumb.

For us in South East Asia region, this is available on a cable TV network channel ONETVHD ASIA. I have yet to watch this, it sounds like a mega serious thriller kdrama. And last JiSung drama Adamas I never completed it.
