‘13-year couple’ Jung Kyung-ho and Choi Soo-young ‘War of Love’
They are competing for viewership ratings by releasing new lead roles around the same time. This is the first time that the two actors, who have never faced each other while acting, are competing for viewership ratings at the same time.
Choi Soo-young is the first to ‘get going’. She will be starring in the new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Please Quit Drinking’, which will premiere on May 12th.
Gong Myung plays the role of Seo Eui Jun, the head of a health center who hates alcohol, and Choi Soo Young’s first love.
Choi Soo-young, who has been loved for her easygoing and refreshing charm, including in her previous work ‘Nam Nam’, is garnering attention for showing a character that maximizes her strengths this time.
In addition, he is determined to focus on emotional acting, such as showing the confident side of a skilled elite mechanic and the inner side of a character shaken by alcohol-related problems.
In the teaser released on the 8th ahead of the first broadcast, Sooyoung’s appearance caught everyone’s attention. In the video, Sooyoung showed off her various charms, from the image of a ‘true drinker’ who happily clinks her glasses at various drinking parties to the image of her being completely unconscious.
Four days after Choi Soo-young’s home theater debut, Jung Kyung-ho will appear. He will be releasing MBC ‘Labor Attorney No Mu-jin’, which will be aired for the first time on the 16th of the same month.
‘Labor Attorney No Mu-jin’ is a comic fantasy action film that contains the story of a labor attorney who sees ghosts and struggles to solve labor problems. It is Jung Kyung-ho’s comeback after two years since his second heyday with the 2023 drama ‘Daily Scandal’, and it is also the first drama directing challenge for director Im Soon-rye, who directed the movies ‘Negotiation’ and ‘Little Forest’. It is drawing attention from both inside and outside the broadcasting industry.
In the drama, Jung Kyung-ho plays the main character, Noh Moo-jin. Noh Moo-jin is a labor attorney who lives for a living without any sense of history or society, but after returning from the brink of death, he grows up while solving labor problems requested by ghosts through tears.
In this drama, Jung Kyung-ho plays a character possessed by a ghost, armed with his signature wit and savory speech.
