Actress Jang Shin-young has been confirmed as the lead actress for MBC‘s new daily drama, ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun.’

MBC’s new daily drama, ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ (planned by Jang Jae-hoon/directed by Kim Jin-hyung/written by Seol Kyung-eun/produced by MBC C&I), depicts a world where victims become perpetrators, and a woman‘s desperate revenge against a conglomerate in the name of her only daughter. Director Kim Jin-hyung, who directed the drama ‘A Match in Heaven, and writer Seol Kyung-eun, who has presented solid narratives and realistic lines in dramas such as ‘Hide and Seek’ and ‘The Room of Two Women’, have joined forces to create a daily drama with a high level of empathy that will make viewers laugh and cry together, drawing attention.’

Among them, Jang Shin-young has joined as the lead actress for ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun, raising expectations. Jang Shin-young plays the role of Baek Seol-hee, a bright and positive energy character. Baek Seol-hee, who was abandoned by the man she loved and risked her life to protect her unborn child, is a character who voluntarily chooses the path of a single mother and enters a difficult life, but is a character who plays the role of a mother with determination and courage. Baek Seol-hee, who has a warm heart and an easygoing charm that allows her to be friends with anyone, prepares for a fierce revenge that is on a whole other level as she gets caught up in a whirlwind of fate that destroys her happy daily life in an instant.

Jang Shin-young, who has returned to her main profession as an actress after a long time through this work, is determined to properly demonstrate the solid skills she has built up in various works. In particular, attention is focused on Jang Shin-young’s performance as she delicately writes the emotional line that changes from moment to moment to match Baek Seol-hee‘s life story with its dynamic narrative. From a bright and energetic look to a look filled with revenge, expectations are high for Jang Shin-young’s acting transformation, who will show a more diverse acting spectrum than ever through ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun.’

The production team said, “It seems like actress Jang Shin-young‘s charm will be fully displayed in this production. We are already looking forward to how Jang Shin-young will portray Baek Seol-hee. You can look forward to the explosive synergy that will come from the combination of a spectacular story and character that you can’t take your eyes off of for a second and Jang Shin-young‘s ‘close’ acting.”

Meanwhile, MBC’s new daily drama ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ is scheduled to air as a follow-up to ‘The Kind Sun-ju.’
