MBC new daily drama ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ has released a highlight video, and has confirmed that a ‘special preview’ will air today(the 5th)at 7:10 PM, giving a sneak peek at the drama’s charms ahead of its first broadcast.

MBC new daily drama ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ (planned by Jang Jae-hoon/directed by Kim Jin-hyung/written by Seol Kyung-eun)is a story of a woman’s desperate revenge against a conglomerate in the name of her only daughter in a world where victims turn into perpetrators.

The highlight video released ahead of the first broadcast on Monday, June 9th, captures attention with its powerful storytelling that captures the dramatic narrative of Baek Seol-hee(Jang Shin-young)vowing fierce revenge for her daughter as the ordinary happiness of a mother and daughter collapses in an instant.In addition, the unpredictable relationships between the characters and the breathtaking development raise expectations by heralding the birth of a new daily drama that will captivate the living room theater.

The highlight video begins with the deep maternal love of Seol-hee, a mother who proudly looks at her daughter Baek Mi-so(played by Lee Ru-da)who is about to enter an international high school.Seol-hee’s warm words, “Mother Mi-so is the best thing to hear in the world,” and Miso’s innocent appearance sending a heart of love to her mother are heartwarming.However, the atmosphere changes abruptly when the tragic copy, “Our happy daily life was shattered in an instant,” is shown along with the scene of Miso being bullied by Min Se-ri(played by Park Seo-yeon).

Seol-hee’s desperate expression as she desperately waits for her daughter in front of the operating room heightens the tension by hinting at the unimaginable events that have befallen the mother and daughter.”Mom will definitely find you and punish you.It’s the way of the world that people who do wrong are punished.No matter who it is,” Seol-hee’s firm determination and Miso’s appearance lying in the hospital bed are heartbreaking.

On the other hand, the flashy appearance of Min Kyung-chae(played by Yoon Ah-jung), who is gaining attention as the next-generation leader of Minkang Distribution in a situation completely opposite to that of Seol-hee and her daughter, who are facing hardships and adversity, creates a sharp contrast and adds tension.Kyung-chae, who is under strong pressure from Chairman Min(played by Jeon No-min)because of Se-ri who caused trouble, and Kim Seon-jae(played by Oh Chang-seok)who approaches her using this situation as an opportunity, ask a meaningful question, “How much do you trust me?” , giving a glimpse into the complexly intertwined relationships and hidden intentions of the characters.

The appearance of Moon Tae-kyung(Seo Ha-joon), who is trying to uncover the truth behind his parents ‘death 25 years ago, creates another axis of tension.Tae-kyung, who has been newly appointed as the head of Minkang Distribution’s new business while hiding his true intentions, and Seol-hee, who has decided to take revenge for her daughter, foreshadow an exciting relationship as they continue their fateful relationship with the same goal.

The latter half of the highlight video boasts even more intense appeal.Seon-jae blocks Seol-hee’s path, saying it’s a reckless fight, and Kyung-chae brazenly confronts her, saying, “Do whatever you want.I won’t stop you,” and Seol-hee curses, “What can’t you do when your child is about to die?” This single scene alone evokes passionate cheers from viewers.In particular, the power struggle centered around Min-gang Distribution and the unpredictable relationships between the characters who deceive and deceive each other boast an immersive quality that makes it impossible to take your eyes off of them for even a moment.

At the end of the video, the intertwined stories of each character and the thrilling car chase scene appear along with the speedy development, announcing the birth of a daily drama that will captivate the living room theaters on weekday evenings.Above all, the ending maximizes the anticipation by foreshadowing the refreshing catharsis of the drama that will deliver the message of good triumphing over evil, with the scene of Seol-hee shedding hot tears while vowing revenge intersecting with the copy, “Now it’s your turn.”

Thanks to the hot interest and anticipation of potential viewers waiting for ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’, a special opportunity has been prepared to check out the drama’s charms before the main broadcast.The special preview of ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’, where viewers can see the unpredictable story, the chemistry of the various characters, and the highlight scenes that they should not miss, will be specially organized today(the 5th)at 7:10 PM.It seems like a great opportunity to check out the true nature of the work before the full-scale drama begins.
