“Opposition Party”
Genre: Drama / Crime
Country of Origin: South Korea
Synopsis:
Set against the dark underbelly of South Korea’s drug black market, Opposition Party follows Lee Kang-soo, a streetwise hustler forced to become an informant after being falsely accused of drug use. Under pressure from ambitious prosecutor Gu Kwan-sik, Lee infiltrates a drug cartel to earn a reduced sentence. But behind the scenes, he secretly aligns with gang members to build his own network of power and revenge.
Prosecutor Gu sees Lee as nothing more than a pawn in his political scheme — leveraging drug cases to eliminate rivals and even blackmailing the son of a presidential candidate. Meanwhile, honest anti-narcotics officer Oh Sang-jae is framed and imprisoned for refusing to cover up Gu’s crimes.
As Lee Kang-soo uncovers explosive evidence linking the prosecutor and the cartel, the stakes escalate. Teaming up with the freed Oh Sang-jae and actress Yoon Soo-jin, he launches a dark web live stream to expose the entire conspiracy. The scandal rocks the nation, bringing down Gu Kwan-sik, and leaving Lee and Soo-jin to disappear into the shadows.
Why Watch:
A gritty political crime thriller that blends action, corruption, and revenge. Opposition Party is a hard-hitting commentary on South Korea’s justice and political systems — intense, sharp, and disturbingly real.
