Disney+ released the first part of the Korean drama The Tyrants, with Kim Seon-ho, Cha Seung-won, Kim Kang-woo, and Jo Yoon-su, on August 14, 2024. This first part consists of four episodes, but leaves viewers waiting for the sequel. Here’s what we know about Part 2 and what to expect.
For now, the release date of The Tyrants Part 2 has not been announced. Fans are left in suspense after the cliffhanger ending to Part 1, which saw significant developments and unexpected twists.
The first part of The Tyrants ends on a dramatic cliffhanger: the death of Director Choi and the infection of Chae Ja-gyeong with the “Tyrant” virus. Director Choi, played by Kim Seon-ho, is a key figure in the development of a superhuman virus aimed at South Korea’s military forces. However, his plans are thwarted by the NIS, forcing him to continue his work in secret.
Key Characters and Plot Points
- Kim Seon-ho plays Director Choi, a character driven by ambition and a dangerous reputation. His actions establish the central conflict of the series.
- Kim Kang-woo plays Paul, an American intelligence agent, who seeks to acquire the superhuman serum.
- Cha Seung-won plays Lim Sang, a retired agent turned mercenary, tasked with protecting the serum.
- Jo Yoon-su as Chae Ja-gyeong, who is infected by the virus and shows extraordinary abilities while retaining her human traits.
The final scenes of Part 1 suggest that Ja-gyeong may have been affected by the virus since a young age, which could explain her extraordinary abilities. Additionally, the final scenes show Director Choi’s fate as ambiguous, leaving room for possible twists and turns in Part 2.
Part 2 is expected to delve deeper into Ja-gyeong’s story and the true nature of the virus. It is likely to explore whether Director Choi’s death was final or whether he will return with new revelations.
