The Man Standing Next

“Loyalty. Betrayal. Execution.”

Park Yong-gak (Kwak Do-won), the former head of the KCIA, leaves for the United States as the "Koreagate" investigation closes in, carrying everything he knows about how the government runs. Woo Min-ho follows Kim Gyu-pyeong (Lee Byung-hun), the agency's current director, through the forty days before President Park's assassination in 1979. With his old friend in exile, Kim has to decide whose side he is on, and every choice puts his life at risk.
