Synopsis edit

Han Yi-soo's (Kim Nam-gil) father is the chauffeur of the owners of Gaya Hotel Group, the family of Jo Hae-woo (Son Ye-jin). The chauffeur is persuaded to take the blame for a hit-and-run accident caused by the drunken son of the family. But when he changes his mind, he is murdered before he can recant. Yi-soo, then a high schooler, tries to find out the truth and exonerate his father. He calls Hae-woo, his first love, but a truck deliberately rams the phone box. Following the attempt on his life, Yi-soo disappears and ends up in Japan, where a wealthy and influential Japanese-Korean businessman, Yoshimura Junichiro (Lee Jae-gu) adopts him.

12 years later he returns to Korea with a new identity as Japanese-Korean businessman Yoshimura Jun and carefully laid plans. Hae-woo, who believed that Yi-soo was dead, becomes a prosecutor to find out the truth about what happened to him. She marries Oh Joon-young (Ha Seok-jin), the son of the Chief Prosecutor Oh Hyun-shik (Jung Won-joon) and also a close friend of Yi-soo in their school days. No one in Korea, including Hae-woo, recognizes Yi-soo, even though he constantly finds excuses to meet Hae-woo and even after Hae-woo realizes that Yi-soo is alive. Yi-soo and Hae-woo become caught between love and revenge.[5]

Production edit

This production marked Son Ye-jin's return to television three years after Personal Taste in 2010,[10] and the first acting project for Kim Nam-gil after being discharged from mandatory military service. Regarding his revenge trilogy, director Park Chan-hong explained that the first part, Resurrection focused on the man seeking revenge; then part two The Devil included the victim of revenge in the story; and the last part took into account both the victim and perpetrator in the structure of the story.[4]

On April 29, 2013, the production company Annex Telecom released promotional stills of the two leads, Son Ye-jin and Kim Nam-gil, at the drama's first shoot on April 24–25 in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.[11] This was followed by a 40-second teaser video on May 9, showing Kim and a shark swimming. Promoter Shall We Talk explained, "The reason we named the drama Shark and why Kim Nam-gil talks about sharks in the clip is because the lives of the two main characters are similar to that of sharks, which can't stop swimming."[12]
