Synopsis:
One of the first
genuinely unmissable Korean dramas, Sandglass
became a cultural phenomenon when it first aired in 1995,
and the yardstick by which all subsequent productions
would be measured. The show became a talking point at
water coolers around the country, captivating households
with its thrilling story of organised crime and political
upheaval. Sandglass secured a staggering 65%
audience share, with reports of stores and businesses
closing early so workers could be home in time to watch
each week's new episode.
Sandglass
is the story of two best friends, their differing roads in
life, and the political turmoil that inevitably pits them
against one another. After getting rejected from military
school because of his father’s affiliation with the
Communist party, Tae-Soo (Choi Min-Soo) enters a dark
underworld filled with violent gangsters and corrupt
politicians. Woo-Suk (Park Sang-Won) sees his family
suffer under political oppression, and becomes a
prosecutor to fight for social justice. Painfully torn
between the two men is Hye-Rin (Go Hyun-Jung of Spring
Days), the ambitious successor to her father’s
successful casino business.
Sandglass
powerfully explores the conflicts between friendship,
loyalty, and duty. Don’t miss this intense and
unpredictable 24-episode television masterpiece… and
prepare yourself for a thrilling and truly unforgettable
ending.
