Silent Lies follows investigative journalist Choi Seungcheol as he probes a series of disappearances in a small town. His investigation leads him to psychiatrist Yoon Jeonghan, a man with a mysterious past who appears tied to the unsettling cases. Initially at odds, the two are drawn into a tense partnership that blurs the line between adversary and ally, sparking an unexpected connection. As Seungcheol digs deeper, he finds himself ensnared in a web of psychological manipulation, secrets, and lies, forcing him to confront his own past while choosing between solving the case or protecting Jeonghan.
CHARACTERS:
Choi Seungcheol (Scoups)
A highly respected investigative journalist, Scoups has a sharp mind and a determined personality. He's excellent at piecing together facts, but emotionally, he's been closed off ever since a painful event in his past (perhaps a previous relationship gone wrong or the loss of someone close to him). He's been so consumed with his career that his personal life has suffered, and he's never allowed himself to get too close to anyone—until now.
Intelligent, serious, and sometimes brooding, Scoups has a quiet, intense charisma. He's not easily swayed by emotions, preferring to solve problems logically, which often means he can be distant and aloof.
Scoups is initially driven by a desire to solve the mystery of the disappearances that have haunted the town. But as he works with Jeonghan, he begins to feel things he hasn't in a long time—things he isn't sure he's ready to confront. This growing attraction causes him internal conflict, as he struggles with the emotional risks involved.
Yoon Jeonghan (Hannie)
Jeonghan is a psychiatrist with his own troubled past. He moved to the town recently, leaving behind a life filled with unresolved guilt and personal trauma. His mysterious aura and calm demeanor draw people in, but he keeps them at arm's length. When Scoups arrives in town to investigate the disappearances, Jeonghan is pulled into the case through his work with the local authorities or through his own interest in the psychological aspects of the case.
Charismatic, intuitive, and perceptive, Jeonghan is emotionally intelligent, but sometimes manipulative, especially when it comes to controlling his own emotions. He's calm under pressure, often using his psychological knowledge to defuse tense situations. However, he is hiding something darker about his past, and his feelings for Scoups complicate his otherwise controlled persona.
