‘Suspicious Girl’ is ready to show you an exciting ending.

The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Suspicious Girl’ (directed by Park Yong-soon/written by Heo Seung-min), scheduled to air for the first time on the 18th, is a romantic music growth drama about Oh Mal-soon, a grandmother in her seventies who suddenly turns into a twenty-year-old Oh Du-ri and enjoys her shining heyday as she challenges herself to become a singer once again to fulfill the dream she couldn‘t fulfill when she was younger.

Episodes 1 and 2 of ‘Suspicious Girl’, which will air back-to-back on the 18th, are expected to captivate viewers with sweeping episodes. Among them, we looked at the relationships between the main characters in episodes 1 and 2, which will be even more interesting the more you know about them.

● Kim Hae-sook vs. Seo Young-hee’s mother-daughter standoff on the edge

In episode 1, a rift appears between Oh Mal-soon (played by Kim Hae-sook)‘s daughter Ban Ji-sook (played by Seo Young-hee) and her son-in-law Choi Min-seok (played by In Kyo-jin). Min-seok, who was betrayed by the academy instructor he had worked with for 3 years, tried to hide this, but was caught by Mal-soon and her daughter Choi Ha-na (played by Chae Won-bin), and begged Ji-sook to keep it a secret. The three of them decide to keep this a secret from Ji-sook, and Min-seok subtly talks to Ji-sook after she gets off work, changing his situation. Ji-sook responds coldly to this.

Meanwhile, Mal-soon clashes with Ji-sook at a family dinner. Min-seok and Ha-na are at a loss as the two people cannot reconcile their differences. In an atmosphere that suddenly becomes icy, one wonders what the cause of the conflict is between them. Furthermore, Hana declares that she will give up the CSAT for her dream. Mal-soon sides with Hana, while Ji-sook says something she shouldn’t to her mother who protects Hana. Mal-soon and Ji-sook, who have been hurt as much as they can by the discord between their families, will focus attention on the tense and heartbreaking confrontation between the two.

● Kim Hae-sook and Ji-so acting as the same selves

After fighting with Ji-sook, Mal-soon, who leaves home, returns to her youthful appearance overnight. While Kim Hae-sook plays the 70-year-old Oh Mal-soon, actress Ji-so will give a passionate performance as the 20-year-old Mal-soon. As Kim Hae-sook and Jung Ji-so play characters with the same ego, attention is being drawn to their synchronization, and another point to watch for in the first episode is the solid acting skills of the two people who played Mal-soon in her 70s and Mal-soon in her 20s.

● The intense meeting between Jung Ji-so and Jin-young

Episode 2 depicts the first meeting between Daniel Han (played by Jin-young), a producer at Eunice Entertainment, and Mal-soon (played by Jung Ji-so), who is now in her 20s by chance. While looking for Emily, the missing trainee center, Daniel is shocked to see Mal-soon singing and stops her at a convenience store. She is bewildered and angry, and Daniel cannot help but be flustered when he sees Mal-soon suddenly become violent.

Daniel suggests that Mal-soon, who looks exactly like the Emily he was looking for, return to Eunice Entertainment, but she refuses. The bickering between the two people is a great source of entertainment for viewers and is further heightening their anticipation for the upcoming broadcast.

The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Miss Granny’, which is an expanded version of the movie of the same name, will premiere at 9:50 PM on the 18th (Wednesday), and episodes 1 and 2 will air back-to-back in the first week.
