In Nothing Uncovered, a reporter will stop at nothing to expose the truth, even if it means going up against powerful politicians and stepping on the toes of her male superiors at work. But her journalistic ethics are put to the test when her personal life collides with her professional one.

Kim Ha-neul (18 Again) plays Seo Jeong-won, the daring host and producer of the hard-hitting evening news show “Nothing Uncovered”. She follows leads to mystery locations and, with her trusty cameraman Ju Yeong-seok (Kim Min-jae, The Outlaws: No Way Out), barges in on people when they least expect it, whether they’re in the middle of offering a bribe or beating their wife.

It’s worth noting that the Korean title of the fictitious programme is Grabbed by the Collar. That’s also the Korean title of the drama itself and the name of the web novel it is based on.
