Customs Frontline (2024)

Dargom Bes — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 02:08:05 +0000

When a container ship mysteriously turns up in Hong Kong waters, local Customs officers sail into dangerous international drama. After boarding the vessel, a team led by Cheung Wan Nam and including young hotshot Chow Ching Lai discover dead bodies of crew members and a huge cache of arms, including a valuable compass suited for use in a submarine.

The haul of weaponry, thought to have been swiped from Thailand, is carted off to a government ordnance depot for safekeeping. When Thai Interpol officers arrive for an inspection, the arms smugglers rush in. The raid results in casualties and shellshocked officers, causing a rapid escalation in response. Customs’ ports and intelligence branches, headed by Kwok Chi Keung and Athena Siu respectively, must work together and go international in catching the perpetrators.

Appearing to be linked to a growing conflict in Africa, Chow and Thai agent Ying jet off to Loklamoa for to get a handle on how arms dealer Dr Raw is involved. The pair sense there’s a rat in Customs while back in Hong Kong investigators pin down the local shipping firm that’s in on the deal. Once the full picture emerges of how the arms turned up and where they’re headed, high drama is in store in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.

A group of spies called the 5446 Corps were trained by North Korean elite special forces since their youth, ostensibly towards the lofty goal of unifying Korea. They are ambitiously dispatched to South Korea, where each disguises himself as a fool, an aspiring singer, and a high school student. Passing boring times without receiving any orders from the North, they gradually get used to life as ordinary neighbors in a small town. Until one day, their mundane lives are turned upside down when a "secret and great" mission is suddenly assigned to them.

~~ Adapted from the webtoon "Secretly, Greatly" (은밀하게 위대하게) by HUN.

Saeba Ryo is a "sweeper" in the city of Tokyo. He works as a trouble shooter, cleaning the streets of vermin, and helping out desperate people. Sometimes he’s a bodyguard, sometimes he’s an assassin, whatever Ryo does he does it well. In fact, his only flaw is his hormones – he loves the ladies and sometimes turns into an idiot when he’s near them. Thankfully he’s got people like his partner Kaori Makimura to keep him in check.
