Watch: Kim Hyun Joo And Park Hee Soon Clash Over Their Missing Daughter In Suspenseful Trailer For "Trolley"

Dec 12, 2022

SBS has shared an intriguing new sneak peek of its upcoming drama “Trolley”!

“Trolley” is a new mystery romance drama about a politician’s wife who faces the biggest dilemma of her life after a secret she’s been hiding is unexpectedly revealed. Kim Hyun Joo will star as Kim Hye Joo, the wife of National Assembly member Nam Joong Do (Park Hee Soon), who chooses to stay out of the public eye instead of being active as a politician’s wife.

The newly released trailer begins with Kim Hye Joo’s daughter Nam Yoon Seo (Choi Myung Bin) asking her an altered version of the famous “Trolley Problem” from moral philosophy, after which the drama’s title is named. “There’s a trolley,” she says. “Because the brakes aren’t working, if the trolley continues on its path, it will hit and kill five people. But if you change the trolley’s [path] to a different track, the trolley will turn and kill only one person. Mom, what would you do if that one person is someone I love?”

After glimpses of Kim Hye Joo’s happy family life flash by, things take an ominous turn when she reunites with a furious Jin Seung Hee (Ryu Hyun Kyung), who warns her with barely concealed rage, “From now on, no matter what I do, don’t blame me. Because you brought it all upon yourself.”

Nam Yoon Seo then suddenly goes missing, which leads to a fissure forming between her once happily married parents. After frantically searching for their daughter, Nam Joong Do tells the police to treat their case just like any other, without giving him special treatment for being an elected official. An upset Kim Hye Joo argues, “But you’re Yoon Seo’s father first, before a National Assembly member.”

Nam Joong Do looks conflicted as someone asks him, “For whom are you pursuing politics?” Meanwhile, Kim Hye Joo breaks down in tears as she says, “I’m so frightened and afraid that another tragedy will happen.” Nam Joong Do, who was once a devoted husband, seems to be changing as he tells someone, “Please keep this a secret from my wife.” He then meets the mysterious Kim Soo Bin (Jung Soo Bin), an uninvited guest whom he asks, “Will you be able to take responsibility for this?”

Finally, Nam Joong Do’s trusty chief of staff Jang Woo Jae (Kim Moo Yeol) tells his boss, “Betting my life on you, Assemblyman, will definitely become the best choice I could have made.”

“Trolley” will premiere on December 19 at 10 p.m. KST. In the meantime, check out the new trailer below!
