From writer Jeong Seo-kyeong (Decision to Leave) and director Kim Hee-won (Queen of Tears), the Korean spy thriller series Tempest is one of the first, freshest surprises of the fall TV season. It's a polished, fast-paced action yarn that evokes other highly popular properties as varied as The Manchurian Candidate, The Bodyguard, and the spy fiction of Tom Clancy. It's also a show that moves constantly from one action sequence to another, smartly scripted and even socially relevant in a way that never detracts from the fun. The possibility of crossover appeal seems likely, but Tempest certainly deserves to be a hit in its own right.
