Set in 1970, Good News follows the hijacking of a Japanese passenger plane en route from Tokyo to Itazuke by armed members of the Red Army Faction. They demand to be flown to Pyongyang, but logistical challenges arise as Japan and North Korea have no arrangements for such a landing. In Seoul, a shadowy figure known only as 'Nobody' is brought in to assist with a covert rescue operation. Intelligence and military teams from Japan, South Korea, and the United States employ various tactics, including blocking runways and hijacking radio signals, to manage the crisis. Wikipedia
