“Tempest” Hulu Poster
South Korean superstar Gianna Jun (My Sassy Girl, Assassination) is back with a vengeance in Tempest, an upcoming series that will premier exclusively on Disney+ worldwide and on Hulu in the U.S.
Tempest features an all-star cast that includes Gang Dongwon (Broker, Peninsula), John Cho (Harold & Kumar), Lee Mi-Sook (An Affair), Park Hae-Joon (Yadang: The Snitch), Kim Hae-Sook (Tunnel), Oh Jung-Se (Hi-Five), Lee Sang-Hee (The Beast), Joo Jong-Hyuk (Because I Hate Korea) and Won Ji-An (A Year-End Medley).
Set in Korea, the series follows Seo Munju, a former United Nations Ambassador whose life gets flipped on its head when her husband, a presidential candidate, is assassinated in front of her. To discover the truth behind the attack, Munju takes up her husband’s role, becoming the party’s presidential candidate. With her life constantly in danger, Sanho, a mysterious mercenary will step up to keep her safe. However, with little known about him, can Munju really trust him?
Tempest is directed by Kim Hee-Won (Queen of Tears, Little Women) off a script by Chung Seokyung (Decision to Leave). Despite being a heavy in K-drama, you can expect some decent action pieces, since the series is co-directed by Heo Myunghaeng (Badland Hunters, Roundup: Punishment).
Tempest will premier exclusively on Disney+ worldwide and on Hulu in the U.S on September 10, 2025. Watch the series Trailer below:
I thought she retired after gotten marriage. Still good to see her back.
She’s been in heaps of stuff after she got married – only counting starring roles there’s been ‘The Thieves’, ‘The Berlin File’, ‘My Love from the Star’, ‘Assassination’, ‘The Legend of the Blue Sea’, ‘Kingdom: Ashin of the North’, and most recently ‘Jirisan’.
Isn’t it common for actresses in Korea to retire after getting married? I thought Shin Eun-kyun for example retired sometime in 2005 before coming back in 2008.
I know it’s a cultural thing, but not one I agree with.
She did, but in Korea it’s more to do with personal choice than cultural expectation, there are plenty of actresses who have gotten married and continued to work.
From My Sassy Girl to My Sassy MILF
You’re not lying. =)
