Daniel Dae Kim stars as David Jung, a former CIA operative living in South Korea. He’s presumed dead from an operation gone wrong nine years earlier, now living a quiet life with his new wife, Eunju (Kim Tae-hee).
His big regret was leaving his then-14-year-old daughter, Rebecca, behind when he “died,” but he had his reasons. He discovers that his daughter (Reina Hardesty)ānow 23āis working as an assassin for Juno (Piper Perabo), the head of Caddis Private Intelligence, a security service he started that’s become a criminal enterprise.
Now David will stop at nothing to extract Rebecca and expose Juno for the criminal she is. Juno is an equal opportunity mercenary, at one point snarling, “The only enemy I have is peace.”
This is standard spy thriller stuff, but it’s done well with a lot of action sequences. Both Kim and Hardesty are effectiveāhe as the worried father and she as the bitter abandoned daughter who’s a little too gleeful about mayhem. Can he “fix” what’s been broken in her? It’s basically a melodrama/soap opera gussied up with violence. (in English and Korean; six 45- to 60-min. episodes) Ī
