The Defects boasts a ruggedly charismatic cast and a taut, gripping narrative. It’s completely accomplished and perfectly poised to enchant listeners long after its initial release.
The 10-episode series centers around Kim Se Hee, as portrayed by Yum Jung Ah. In reality, she’s a clever criminal genius operating a black market circuit of illicit adoptions. As her character puts it, she genuinely believes that only those kids with the best genomes should lead life and success. This belief certainly sets the stage for a morally ambiguous and ethically fraught narrative arc. Jung Hyeon, as played by Dex, is indispensable to Kim Se Hee’s grift. Her involvement only serves to draw him deeper into an increasingly twisted web of lies and ethical grayness.
“The Defects” features a stellar ensemble cast, led by Lee Na Eun, playing So Mi, Won Jin Ah as Kim Ah Hyeon, and Choi Young Joon as Woo Tae Sik, among others. Each character should contribute to depth, drama, complexity and richness so that we want to tune in next week and find out more.
The broadcast schedule for "The Defects" is as follows: Episode 1 on July 21, Episode 2 on July 22, Episode 3 on July 28, Episode 4 on July 29, Episode 5 on August 4, Episode 6 on August 5, Episode 7 on August 11, and the concluding Episode 8 on August 12. The series will air every Monday and Tuesday on ENA at 10 PM KST (6:30 PM IST).
For viewers eager to stream the series, each episode of "The Defects" will be available on TVING and Kocowa, catering to both domestic and global audiences. This accessibility will make the series available to the widest possible audience, increasing its impact and reach.
“The Defects” has a unique premise, but more impressive was the cast. With its robust, free, over-the-air broadcast and streaming schedule, it’s poised to provide audiences a smart, enlightening and nail-biting experience. The series' tightly packed 8-episode run promises to keep audiences engaged and on the edge of their seats until its conclusion on August 12.
