The upcoming action hero series “Twelve” has dropped a sneak peek of its premiere episode!
Inspired by the 12 zodiac animals of the East, “Twelve” tells the story of 12 angels living in the human world in human form to protect the Korean Peninsula from evil spirits. Long ago, the angels barely managed to seal the forces of evil in the gates of hell through their sacrifice, bringing peace. However, with the evil spirits awakening, chaos returns.
The first-episode preview kicks off with Tae San ( Ma Dong Seok ), the formidable leader of the 12 Zodiac Angels, making a bold entrance in a tiger-print outfit as he pays a visit to a debtor in jail. Flashing a smile, he introduces himself: “I’m from Angel Capital.” In the human world, Tae San quietly runs Angel Capital, a company that lends money exclusively to wrongdoers—gangsters and criminals—and always collects, no matter what. Beneath his composed demeanor, however, lies the grief of having lost his comrades in past battles against evil.
During the jailhouse meeting, he lays out the details of Jo Yang Soo’s ( Shin Seung Hwan ) debt. When Jo Yang Soo shamelessly tries to stall repayment, Tae San coolly responds, “In the past 100 years doing this job, I’ve never failed to collect my money once,” leaving the debtor confused. After exiting the room, Tae San immediately calls Jwi Dol ( Sung Yoo Bin ) and instructs, “Jwi Dol, send the money for Jo Yang Soo”—a cryptic order that leaves viewers questioning his true method of debt collection.
