‘Mary Kills People’ is raising expectations with the collaboration of director Park Joon-woo, who received attention for his intense action scenes in ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘Crash’, writer Lee Soo-ah, who has shown her cheerful and touching writing skills in the movies ‘The Laws of Sensuality’, ‘My Special Brother’ and the drama ‘Unemployment Benefit Romance’, and ‘trustworthy actors’ Lee Bo-young, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Ki-young.



In relation to this, the ‘Savior Teaser’ of ‘Mary Kills People’ released on the 20th(today)is garnering attention with its development that constantly builds extreme tension.In the ‘Savior Teaser’, Lee Bo-young, who has transformed into a doctor who ends the suffering of patients, and the unconventional worldview of ‘Mary Kills People’ are combined to overwhelm the audience while the background music that ‘stimulates the five senses’ that increases heart rate is playing.

The ‘Savior Teaser’ begins with Woo So-jung(Lee Bo-young)concentrating on treatment among various surgical tools in a dark operating room with the lights on.Then, along with the phrase ‘I am a doctor ‘, a scene of medicine in a syringe bubbling into champagne and Woo So-jung’s expression, deep in agony, appear, heightening the sense of anxiety.

And the moment Woo So-jung hands someone a glass of champagne, a sign reading, “The doctor who ends the patient’s suffering” is displayed.Furthermore, the serious expression on Woo So-jung’s face as she heads to the emergency room and the expression on the patient’s face as she suffers create confusion.

The mood changes to the peaceful appearance of Woo So-jung and Choi Dae-hyun(Kang Ki-young)looking at someone sitting between the rocks by the sea, and when asked, “How long does it take?” , Woo So-jung answers, “It usually ends in an instant.” After that, Choi Kang-yoon(Lee Sang-yoon)and Eun-young(Son Sook)are seen drinking champagne, raising suspicion.

On the other hand, the phrase “a savior to some” is emphasized in the form of Woo So-jung with an anxious expression, while the phrase “a murderer to some” is emphasized in the form of Woo So-jung with her shaking eyes holding a gun, shocking the viewer.

Finally, the image of the benevolent and devout Virgin Mary is shown, and Woo So-jung looks at the voice calling “Maria” with a determined look as she says, “You are not Maria anymore,” raising curiosity about the explosive narrative of “Mary Kills People.”

The production team said, “Through the ‘Savior Teaser,’ we wanted to capture the unique narrative of ‘Mary Kills People’ that we have never seen before,” and added, “Please look forward to ‘Mary Kills People,’ which will present a new kind of suspense drama as well as the solid acting skills of the actors.”

Meanwhile, MBC new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Mary Kills People’ will premiere on Friday, August 1st at 10 PM.
