Director: Park Gyu-tae
An ex-wife's kidnapping forces two men who should be rivals into an uneasy partnership in Husbands in Action, a 2026 South Korean action-comedy series about a detective and a new husband who have every reason to distrust each other.
What is Husbands in Action about?
When the woman both men once loved is abducted, the detective assigned to the case discovers that her current husband refuses to sit on the sidelines and wait for updates. The pair start the investigation barely able to stand one another, trading jabs about who failed her more in the past. As leads turn dangerous and the kidnappers prove harder to track than expected, the two are pushed into physical set pieces and split-second decisions that force a working trust neither man expected to build. What starts as a jealous standoff slowly becomes a genuine, if reluctant, team effort to bring her home safely.
Cast & crew
Jin Sun-kyu and Gong Myoung anchor the mismatched-duo premise, with Kim Ji-seok, Yoon Kyung-ho, Kang Han-na, Lee Da-hee, Jeon So-min, and Yoona filling out a cast that spans the case's suspects, colleagues, and family members. Director Park Gyu-tae keeps the tone bouncing between comic bickering and tense action beats without letting either overwhelm the other.
