Poseidon (Hangul: 포세이돈) is a 2011 South Korean action television series starring Choi Siwon, Lee Si-young, Lee Sung-jae, Han Jung-soo, Jung Woon-taek and Kil Yong-woo. It aired on KBS2 from September 19 to November 8, 2011, on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
The drama revolves around the duties of Korean Coast Guard officers on rescues, terrorism threats, and other special missions; and their obstacles in life and love. It takes its name from the Poseidon Team, a special forces unit of the Marines.
A worldwide criminal syndicate known as Heugsahoe exists. Their boss is Choi Hee-gon.
In 2008, the leader of the Intelligence Investigation Team of the Maritime Police, Kwon Jung-ryool (Lee Sung-jae), forms a secret investigation team to capture crime boss Choi Hee-gon. As Jung-ryool gets closer and closer to capturing Choi Hee-gon, Jung-ryool's wife Min-jung suddenly goes missing. Her dead body is then thrown in front of Jung-ryool. Soon after, other family members involved in the undercover operation are killed.
Sun-woo (Choi Siwon) goes undercover on Jung-ryool's orders. Sun-woo can't stop the mission, even though there's continuous threats on his life. Soon, a policewoman who investigates Sun-woo is killed. It's clear that the woman's murder was committed by crime boss Choi Hee-gon, but evidence is still lacking for his arrest. Finally, the undercover operation is abandoned.
3 years later, Jung-ryool appears obsessed with his job, trying to forget the guilt he feels over the death of his wife. With the help of Hyun Hye-jung (Jin Hee-kyung) and a director of the maritime police, Jung-ryool forms another special investigation team. To avoid the attention of others inside the maritime police and crime boss Choi Hee-gon, the special investigation team is disguised as the #9 investigation team which is responsible for unsolved cases.
