Overview
- The Husband premiered on KBS2 at 9:20 p.m. KST on July 4, launching a Saturday–Sunday 12-episode crime/romance/thriller run.
- The story centers on neurosurgeon Kang Tae Joo, played by Namkoong Min, whose wife Go Se Yoon vanishes shortly before their planned divorce and whose search makes him the prime suspect.
- Production-released previews highlighted a tense on-screen divorce confrontation and a pivotal phone call that the creative team said upends the lead character’s life and showcases Namkoong Min’s performance.
- Coverage of the show’s second episode on July 5 noted an intense police interrogation scene that leaves the lead disheveled and bleeding from the nose, signaling a rapid move from domestic drama to criminal suspense.
- KBS frames the series as a strategic return to weekend miniseries and Namkoong Min’s first leading KBS role in seven years while global streaming partners Disney+ and Hulu will carry the show outside Korea.
