The highlight video of ‘Suspicious Woman’, which contains the second half of the eventful lives of Kim Hae-sook and Jung Ji-so, has been released.

The new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Suspicious Woman’ (directed by Park Yong-soon/ written by Heo Seung-min), scheduled to air for the first time on the 18th (Wed), is a romantic music growth drama about Oh Mal-soon, a grandmother in her seventies, who suddenly turns into 20-year-old Oh Du-ri and enjoys her shining heyday as she challenges herself to become a singer once again to fulfill the dreams she couldn‘t fulfill when she was younger.

The highlight video released today (the 11th) focuses attention as it contains the difficult idol trainee lives of Oh Mal-soon (played by Kim Hae-sook) and Oh Du-ri (played by Jung Ji-so).

In the video, Mal-soon, who regains her youth overnight, asks, “Do I look like a grandmother or a young lady to you?”And now that I’ve gotten rid of my old body, I need to throw away my old thoughts too. Oh Mal-soon“ and shows a different determination.

Here, Daniel Han (Jinyoung), a producer at Eunice Entertainment, sets out to find the whereabouts of Emily (Jung Ji-so), an idol group trainee who has disappeared. Mal-soon‘s daughter K-eldest daughter Ban Ji-sook (Seo Young-hee), her husband Choi Min-seok (In Kyo-jin), and granddaughter Choi Ha-na (Chae Won-bin) are worried when Mal-soon doesn’t come home.

Finally, Daniel finds the young Mal-soon who looks just like Emily and casts her as a Eunice Entertainment trainee. With three months left until her debut, the young Mal-soon decides to live as Oh Du-ri. Doo-ri practices dancing and singing with all her heart to achieve her dream of becoming a singer, but the trainees at Eunice Entertainment, who suddenly appear and find Doo-ri annoying, dislike her and feel sorry for her.

Park Gap-yong (played by Jeong Bo-seok), who suddenly missed Mal-soon, becomes suspicious of Doo-ri‘s appearance, who reminds him of Mal-soon. However, Gap-yong soon realizes that Doo-ri is Mal-soon and helps Doo-ri enter Mal-soon’s house. Doo-ri and her family meet again. However, the family does not notice Doo-ri‘s true identity at all, and an exciting development is expected.

Doo-ri practices and practices again to keep up with the other trainees, as she has the opportunity to achieve her unfulfilled dream. As her debut approaches, Doo-ri and Daniel’s relationship grows closer. The sight of the two enjoying secret dates brings excitement to the living room theater. Doo-ri starts to feel excitement as she thinks of Daniel. The romance line is anticipated to see how the two will view each other and how their relationship will develop.

At the end of the video, as Doori and Daniel become closer, Kim Ae-shim (played by Cha Hwa-yeon) becomes more anxious. Ae-shim even threatens Doori, saying, ”I could probably come up with a hundred reasons to get you out.“ Ae-shim becomes anxious at the appearance of Doori, who has a personality and skills similar to Mal-soon. What kind of incident happened between Mal-soon and Ae-shim, their past will be another point of interest. The drama ‘Suspicious Girl’, a remake of the movie of the same name, is garnering much attention from potential viewers with its expanded characters and exciting storyline compared to the original.

The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Suspicious Girl’, which is expected to show Mal-soon‘s reckless survival story as a trainee who will be able to enjoy a brilliant youth, is scheduled to air for the first time on the 18th (Wednesday) as a follow-up to ‘Face Me’.
