‘Forgive the affair’ Jang Shin-young, raising her daughter alone… Returning as a single mother (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) depicts a world where victims become perpetrators, and a woman‘s desperate revenge against a conglomerate in the name of her only daughter. PD Kim Jin-hyung of the drama ‘Fate in Heaven’ and writer Seol Kyung-eun of the dramas ‘Hide and Seek’, ‘The Room of Two Women’ will be joining forces.
Among them, Jang Shin-young, Seo Ha-joon, Yoon Ah-jung, and Oh Chang-seok have confirmed their appearances as the main characters who will lead the drama. The synergy that the four actors, each armed with their own unique charms and flawless acting skills, will present is already grabbing the attention of potential viewers.
Seo Ha-joon plays Moon Tae-kyung, the general manager of Minkang Distribution’s new business. Moon Tae-kyung lost his parents in a suspicious accident when he was young and was adopted to the United States. Moon Tae-kyung, who returns to Korea after 25 years to get back what was taken from him and right what was wrong, meets Baek Seol-hee, the destined one with whom he will share both revenge and love, and faces a turning point in his life. Seo Ha-joon, who has shown solid acting skills in every work he has appeared in, is expected to captivate viewers once again with his perfect character digestion skills in this work.
Yoon Ah-jung plays Min Kyung-chae, the daughter of Min Kang Distribution and the eldest grandson who was chosen as the next successor. Min Kyung-chae, who has a gorgeous appearance and charisma created by capital, is a strategist with both innate intelligence and a business mind. After the painful failure of her first love, Min Kyung-chae, who followed her father‘s wishes and chose the path of a businessperson, is constantly at odds with Baek Seol-hee, who is entangled in a fateful ill-fated relationship. Yoon Ah-jung, who has steadily built up her filmography with her solid acting skills and has impressed viewers, is drawing attention to what kind of unique charm she will show.
Lastly, Oh Chang-seok plays Kim Seon-jae, the head of Min Kang Distribution’s legal team. Kim Seon-jae is a character who cruelly abandoned his lover Baek Seol-hee, who supported him while he was preparing for the civil service exam during his college years. He is the owner of a twisted desire who will not hesitate to do anything for success, and he aims for the position of son-in-law of the royal family with his innate intelligence and persistence. Oh Chang-seok, who has been receiving favorable reviews for his excellent acting skills that have enhanced the charm of his characters, will perfectly digest the appearance of a cold and indifferent villain and increase the tension and immersion of the drama.
The production team of ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ stated, “The intense acting and perfect synchronization of the four actors with their own unique charms, including Jang Shin-young, Seo Ha-joon, Yoon Ah-jung, and Oh Chang-seok, as well as the synergy they will complete together will be important points to watch,”and asked for a lot of anticipation and interest until the first broadcast, as they will captivate the viewers with a solid story that provides an extraordinary sense of immersion and fun that will keep you curious for even a moment.”
MBC‘s new daily drama ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ will air as a follow-up to ‘Kind Sun-ju-ssi’.
