Synopsis

‘Insider’ is about the revenge of Kim Yo Han (Kang Ha Neul) who was unjustly imprisoned in his quest for justice. After being abandoned by people around him, Kim Yo Han learn to survive while serving his sentence in prison. With his smart head, thoughtfulness, and his signature poker face, he begins plotting revenge.

On the other hand, a talented but shady businesswoman Oh Soo Yeon (Lee Yoo Young) sees the potential in Kim Yo Han and proposes a liaison between the two. With Kim Yo Han as her “weapon”, she tries to achieve her goal.
