Here in the Philippines, it will be shown on Viva Max, ktx.ph, iWantTFC, SKY PPV.
Several forces are after Seo Bok as he holds the secret to eternal life. Together with Gong Yoo, they get entangle in various dangerous situations to evade the quarters out to get hold of Seo Bok.
Together, they combine forces in a race against time to save humanity from some greedy and evil forces.
Gong Yoo says he loves his role as an ex-intelligence agent who lives a secluded life as a result of something traumatic that happened in his past.
He is entrusted by his former boss with a secret mission to transfer humanity’s first cloned human called Seo Bok to a safe location. However, the mission goes haywire when the convoy is ambushed by unknown attackers.
Gi-heon and Seo Bok manage to escape together, but danger awaits them around every corner as Seo Bok has spent his entire life in a lab and is fascinated by the outside world while Gi-Heon only wants to complete his mission as soon as possible.
Various groups with conflicting agendas chase after Seo Bok, who is humanity’s greatest salvation but also its greatest threat. When their enemies finally close in on them, Gi-heon and Seo Bok are forced to make a final stand to protect themselves.
Gong Yoo made a name for himself with his stunning performance in the popular TV Show, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (also known as Goblin) and in films such as Kim Ji-young: Born 1982, The Age of Shadows and Train to Busan.
hile Park Bo Gum left a lasting impression with his acting in TV Shows such as Record of Youth and Reply 1988; and in movies such as Coin Locker Girl and Roaring Currents.
