The highly anticipated K-drama Tempest is finally here, starring Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won, two of the most talked-about names in the Korean entertainment world. The political action drama is set to premiere on September 10, 2025, and promises a mix of espionage, tension, and romance. Fans can stream the series both domestically and internationally on Disney+ and Hulu with a subscription.
Tempest tells the story of Seo Mun Ju, a former United Nations ambassador known for her intelligence and strong moral compass. Her path crosses with Baek San Ho, a daring and skilled man admired by mercenaries but carrying a mysterious past that raises questions about his loyalties to both Koreas. Together, they work as a team to investigate a national threat that could compromise security across the peninsula. The show blends political intrigue with personal stakes, creating a high-tension spy world.
The cast is impressive beyond the leads. Alongside Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won, the series features John Cho, Lee Mi Sook, Lee Jae Myung, Park Hae Joon, Won Ji An, Oh Jung Se, Lee Sang Hee, and Joo Jong Hyuk. The production even brought in international actors to enhance the espionage atmosphere. Previously called Polaris, the series reportedly had a budget of 70 billion KRW, reflecting its scale and ambition. With star power, a gripping storyline, and high production value, Tempest is shaping up to be a must-watch this season.
