'Fifties Professionals' previews an inevitable fateful showdown among Shin Ha-kyun, Oh Jung-se, and Heo Sung-tae.

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Fifties Professionals' (directed by Han Dong-hwa, scripted by Jang Won-seop) tells the story of three men who once had a bit of swagger despite appearing ordinary, who are set in motion again by fate. It portrays a gritty action comedy about true professionals who have run through 50% of their lives, having been battered by the world and with bodies rusted, yet still driven by loyalty and instinct. The three men, who once held top positions and made names for themselves, are demoted to the remote island of Yeongseondo after 'the incident of that day,' and the series will humorously depict their journey to uncover 'the truth of that day,' which has been on hold for 10 years.

In the drama, Shin Ha-kyun plays Jeong Ho-myung, a National Intelligence Service agent who has been on standby for 10 years and also works as a chef at O-ran Banjeom restaurant; Oh Jung-se portrays Bong Je-soon, a North Korean special operations agent who lost his memory 10 years ago; and Heo Sung-tae plays Kang Beom-ryong, the second-in-command of the Hwasan faction who has been guarding a convenience store for 10 years.

Jeong Ho-myung heads to Yeongseondo in pursuit of 'the item' that was the key to a failed operation 10 years ago; Bong Je-soon, having narrowly escaped death after falling into the sea, is driven by his tenacious will to survive; and Kang Beom-ryong chases Jeong Ho-myung to Yeongseondo to avenge his disbanded organization. The drama raises curiosity about how the comeback of these three men, who had temporarily buried their fatal pasts and settled into ordinary lives, will unfold.

Among these, the 'Fifties Professionals' team released powerful main posters for Jeong Ho-myung, Bong Je-soon, and Kang Beom-ryong on the 28th. In the main poster, the three men stare at each other with scarred faces, immediately capturing attention. An unmistakable tension flickers in their sharp gazes, and their determined, solemn expressions reveal an extraordinary spirit and a powerful presence.

In particular, the tagline "Who says I'm past my prime?" hints at the unending battle they will face on Yeongseondo, where they have run through 50% of their lives and are beginning the second act of their lives, sparking further interest. It raises the question of whether the reunion of the three men, who once had to bring each other down 10 years ago, will result in a fantasy team dynamic or a chaotic brawl.

'Fifties Professionals' is scheduled as the follow-up to MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' and will premiere on May 22 at 9:50 p.m.
