The Husband
Overview
Divorce is barely on the table when Se-yun disappears. Kang Tae-ju tells her he wants out; she refuses. The next day, she is gone.
Tae-ju runs a hospital and trusts his own steady hands. Now those hands are all he has left. A blackmail video surfaces, showing him drunk and offering money to have his wife taken away. Whether it is real or manipulated is unclear, but it is enough for the police. Tae-ju is not convinced.
Kang Tae-ju fights to reclaim both his marriage and his innocence, while Se-yun becomes the mystery everyone is racing to solve.

Fun Facts
- One of the biggest talking points in the industry was Namkoong Min’s return to KBS. While he is widely regarded as one of Korea’s most trusted leading men, he hadn’t headlined a KBS drama in a long time, having spent a string of years winning Grand Prizes (Daesangs) on other major networks. His casting alone immediately made The Husband one of the most highly anticipated dramas of the year.
- The premiere of The Husband marked a major milestone for the broadcasting network. It officially revived the KBS weekend miniseries time slot, which had been completely dark and on a five-month hiatus following the conclusion of To My Beloved Thief.
