Trio (Hangul: 삼총사; RR: Sam Chong-sa) is a South Korean television drama produced by the MBC in 2002. The drama has a total of 17 episodes.
Park, Jang and Roh were bossom friends as youths, along with Sa-yeong and Miri. Park and Jang later became entrepreneurs when they grew up.
One day, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Park and his company encountered gangsters who attempted assassination upon him. The company, one driving in a Perak-registered turquoise Volvo and the other in a Kuala-Lumpur registered bluish-purple Proton Wira was chased by one gangster on a motorbike and his company. As they drove through a road surrounded by woods, the company stopped their car and took out their revolvers to shoot the gangsters, and hit the one riding on a motorbike, who fell off as he was riding on it. Meanwhile, the gangster's Malay accomplices attempted to restart the car.
Da-yeong faced several reporters who interviewed him about the ordeal. As he was about to enter the (black) car, an assassin hiding in the bushes fired his sniper, and the bullet hit right on Da-yeong's head. Jun-ki, whose face was splashed with his father's blood, shouted out and carried his mortally wounded father who was staggering.
The trio were being pursued after by Ahn's gangsters, and were being beaten up by gangsters when Ahn learnt that the tape containing his secret message. Park was nearly strangled to death by a gangster, but was being saved by Roh. Back home, his (newly-wed) wife Sa-yeong put the videotape into his coat. As Park saw his mother off, they reminded each other to take care of themselves.
Later, Bum-soo was driving a quiet road and was being pursued by two gangsters on a motorbike. Jun-ki's mother was being robbed of the videotape, and Bum-soo, stopped his car as the gangsters smashed his windscreen. He was being beaten up, and the gangsters left. Jun-ki and Ji-mun later faced a similar fate by gangsters riding on two heavy trucks. The videotaped was being trampled and they were being beaten up, before the gangsters left.
Ahn overheard Miri's conversation with Bum-soo outside the office, and ordered his henchman to drug her at the carpark. She was being drugged at the carpark as she was opening her car door. She was taken to the beach, and was forced to call the trio, starting from Bum-soo, claiming that she had found evidence of Ahn's statements. When she called Jun-ki and Ji-mun, Jun-ki urged Ji-mun to get to the scheduled location immediately, who hesitated.
