‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ has raised the level of immersion in living rooms to its peak by foreshadowing Jang Shin-young’s desperate struggle against the great power that turned her victimized daughter into the perpetrator and Seo Ha-joon’s sword of revenge toward the truth hidden 20 years ago.

The 9th episode of MBC 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), which aired on the 19th, depicted the shocking situation in which the victim was transformed into the perpetrator due to Min Kang Distribution’s meticulous manipulation of the media, as well as Baek Seol-hee’s(Jang Shin-young)desperate efforts to stand up to it.At the same time, it kept viewers on the edge of their seats as it showed Moon Tae-kyung(Seo Ha-joon)getting one step closer to the truth behind his parents ‘deaths 20 years ago.In particular, the intense ending featuring the face-off between Seol-hee and Min Kang Distribution’s Chairman Min Doo-sik(Jeon No-min)signaled the beginning of a full-scale confrontation to come, leaving a strong aftertaste.

The broadcast that day depicted the shock of a mother and daughter after the assault incident of Seol-hee’s daughter Baek Mi-so(played by Lee Ru-da)was reported as ‘ugly harassment’.Mi-so, who went from being a victim to a perpetrator in an instant due to false testimony and fake news, broke down and said, “I’m worried that people won’t believe me,” and Seol-hee tried to keep her balance and not waver even in the midst of the shock, comforting her daughter who was in despair, saying, “You just have to be proud,” which was heartbreaking to see.



Behind all this, there was a meticulous plot by Chairman Min and Min Kyung-chae(played by Yoon Ah-jung), the most powerful figures in Minkang Distribution.Kyung-chae confessed to Chairman Min that she had “bribed witnesses and created fake criminals” in order to eliminate all risk factors before the launch of the new business, and Chairman Min then showed his wickedness by ordering even stronger pressure, saying, “Stomach him until he suffocates,” causing the viewers to be angry.

Seol-hee, who was struggling to tell the truth, eventually went back to Min-gang Distribution and confronted Kyung-chae.Kyung-chae showed his cold and shameless attitude as always, saying, “Why should I worry about your daughter?” At this time, Kim Seon-jae(played by Oh Chang-seok)appeared and stopped Seol-hee, saying, “Why don’t you know the world? You’ll never win,” and showed his cowardly side as always by telling her to wake up to reality.Seol-hee fiercely opposed, saying, “Do you want me to compromise and live like a coward like you?” and exploded in anger at Seon-jae’s words threatening her daughter, saying, “You’ve crossed the line.You should never have threatened my daughter.”

At the same time, Tae-kyung continued to track down Jo Pil-doo(played by Lee Han-wi)to uncover the truth about his parents ‘deaths 20 years ago.Tae-kyung confessed his true feelings to Pil-doo, saying, “I have to clear the name of the two who lost their business after their tragic deaths,” and persistently pressed him with pointed questions like, “There’s someone else behind the traffic accident, right?” In particular, Pil-doo’s expression changed when Tae-kyung directly mentioned “Min Kang Distribution Chairman Min Doo-sik,” implying that Tae-kyung was one step closer to the truth, and the tension reached its peak.

The climax of the 9th episode that day was definitely the intense first meeting between Seol-hee and Chairman Min.Seol-hee, who saw Chairman Min treating the cleaning staff in the lobby of Minkang Distribution with humanity, boldly approached him and confidently said, “Are you Chairman Min Doo-sik?” This scene decorated the ending, leaving a stronger impact than ever.This foreshadowed the beginning of Seol-hee’s strong will to no longer back down and her full-scale confrontation against the great power, and raised expectations for the 10th episode of “The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun,” which will air today(the 20th).

MBC daily drama ‘The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun’ episode 10 will air today(the 20th)at 7:05 PM.
