Yoon Young-hwa, once a top national news anchor, gets demoted to radio news. One day, a call comes in during his radio show threatening to blow up Mapo Bridge. While it is brushed off as a prank call, the bridge ends up getting blown to pieces just ten minutes later. To get his career back on track, Yoon tries to grab an exclusive live broadcast. The terrorist demands a hefty sum in exchange and the exclusive gets aired. The terrorist reveals he is one of the construction workers of Mapo Bridge and demands the President’s apology for his coworkers who died on the job. While efforts to convince both the government and the terrorist go awry, Yoon realizes there is a bomb rigged on him and falls in sheer terror. 
“THE TERROR LIVE is at its best when it strives to reveal the Machiavellian wheeling and dealing aiming to capitalize on the most drastic, life-threatening situations – and Kim’s screenplay is certainly audacious enough in offering no characters who would be able to walk away with their consciences clear: not even Yoon, whose spiraling fate could be seen as mostly his own undoing.” (Clarence Tsui )
