tvN new Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Please Quit Drinking’ (written by Myung Soo-hyun, Jun Ji-hyun, and directed by Jang Yoo-jung)has declared war on alcohol and fired the starting signal for a project to keep the sobriety of a family of heavy drinkers.

The production team of ‘Please Quit Drinking’ announced on the 28th a variety of abstinence challenges for a family that cannot live without alcohol through a teaser video and poster on the war against alcohol.

According to the production team, the teaser video for the war on alcohol begins with the mother Kim Gwang-ok(played by Kim Sung-ryung)raiding her daughter Han Geum-ju’s(played by Choi Soo-young)studio apartment.”You said you liked alcohol better? You said you wanted to cancel the marriage?!” Han Geum-ju is shown lying hungover next to a table with bottles scattered around, as she shouts in anger.The anger of a real mother is vividly conveyed through Kim Gwang-ok’s fingertips as he strikes Han Geum-ju’s back.

Then, the drinking routine of the family that cannot live without alcohol catches the eye, making Han Geum-ju’s protest, “What kind of alcoholic am I? I’m a drinker, a drinker!” pale in comparison.The drinking DNA of this family, where they share a drink with their father Han Jeong-su(played by Kim Sang-ho)and older sister Han Hyeon-ju(played by Jo Yoon-hee)and even lie down with a bottle of alcohol, is surprising in itself.


Kim Gwang-ok’s patience, which had been watching the scene, eventually reached its limit.Although it was a scene that had not happened for a day or two, Kim Gwang-ok finally threw the bottle of ginseng wine on the floor.”From now on, there will be no alcohol in this house!” After enduring and enduring, the family members froze one by one at the rebuke, and with the phrase, “Declare war on alcohol!” , Kim Gwang-ok’s project to create a house without alcohol marked the starting line.

So the abstinence operation begins in earnest at the abstinence camp inside the temple, but the three women quickly collapse from the makgeolli.Kim Gwang-ok’s anger explodes upon witnessing this, and Seo Eui-jun(played by Gong Myung)urges Han Geum-ju to keep her sobriety with a firm word, “Abstinence, abstinence from drinking.”

The five characters surrounding the ban are vividly depicted in the poster.The struggle of the three father and daughters, including Han Geum-ju who is protecting the soju bottle, Han Hyun-joo who is holding the beer bottle, and Han Jeong-su who is blocking the back smash, clearly shows the DNA of alcohol.On the other hand, Seo Eui-jun and Kim Gwang-ok show their determination to protect the ban by blocking them with a firm look, and the extreme tension creates a pleasant tension.


The teaser video and poster declaring war on alcohol cleverly depict the difficult mission of maintaining sobriety while going back and forth between humor and reality.The explosive and salty challenge of abstinence from alcohol that ‘Please Quit Drinking’ will unfold is even more anticipated.

‘Please Quit Drinking’ is a sobering romance about a woman who considers herself to be a very sensible drinker, who reunites with her first love who hates alcohol and challenges herself to quit drinking for the first time in her life.It will be first broadcast on May 12th at 8:50 PM.
