The upcoming series The Substitute has revealed its first teaser, previewing the growing tension between its three male leads.
It is a crime thriller centered on three young men whose conflicting desires and personal conflicts drag them into a crime of no return, all on the day of the college entrance exam. The story revolves around a high-achieving student from a low-income family who attends a prestigious private school on a special scholarship and is forced to take the exam on behalf of a blackmailer who knows his secret.
What the The Substitute teaser shows
The newly released preview hints at the mounting tension between Nam Jae Yeop (played by Bae Hyeon Seong), Kang Geon Tae (played by Cha Kang Yoon) and Joo Hee Dong (played by Park Yoon Ho). The teaser begins with Nam Jae Yeop asking someone, “Deal?”, before showing the slogans: “A day that will decide your fate” and “A deal that will turn everything upside down begins.”
At first, Nam Jae Yeop seems to have the upper hand in this unstable relationship, while Kang Geon Tae and Joo Hee Dong find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations, including chases and physical assaults. However, the power balance seems to shift as the plot progresses. The preview ends with a bruised and furious Nam Jae Yeop muttering, “There is no one else but that bastard. That bastard...”
