The secret Korean traditional music lesson site of tvN‘s new Sat-Sun drama ‘Jeongnyeoni’ Kim Tae-ri and Jung Eun-chae has been revealed, drawing attention.

The new tvN Sat-Sun drama ‘Jeongnyeoni’ (directed by Jung Ji-in/written by Choi Hyo-bi/planned by Studio Dragon/produced by Studio N, management mmm, and NPIO Entertainment), which will be aired for the first time on the 12th, is a drama that depicts the competition, solidarity, and brilliant growth period surrounding Jeong Nyeoni, a ‘natural vocal genius’, who challenges to become the best Korean traditional music actor after the Korean War in the 1950s. ‘Jeongnyeon’, which draws attention with the fresh subject matter of ‘Women’s National Theater’, is directed by Jung Ji-in, who directed ‘Red Sleeves’, and features a solid cast including Kim Tae-ri (as Yoon Jeong-nyeon), Shin Ye-eun (as Heo Yeong-seo), Ra Mi-ran (as Kang So-bok), Jung Eun-chae (as Moon Ok-kyung), Kim Yoon-hye (as Seo Hye-rang), and special appearances by Moon So-ri (as Seo Yong-rye) and Lee Deok-hwa (as Gong Seon-bu), raising expectations.

Ahead of the first broadcast, ‘Jeongnyeon’ production released stills from the drama that capture the clumsy first steps of the main character Yoon Jeong-nyeon on her way to becoming a national theater star. The stills show Jeong-nyeon secretly receiving private lessons from Moon Ok-kyung, who is the most popular among the actors of the ‘Maeran National Theater Company’, the best national theater company of the time. Ok-kyung looks at Jeong-nyeon with eyes full of interest and teaches her dance with all her heart, but people are curious about what kind of relationship Jeong-nyeon, who just looks like a plain fishing village girl and a ‘human dirt potato’, has with Ok-kyung, the superstar of the national theater world.



On the other hand, Jeong-nyeon‘s clumsy dance moves steal the spotlight. Jeong-nyeon is struggling to keep her balance, standing on one leg like a scarecrow with both arms spread and one knee raised. She is so focused that she might fall to the floor, and her lips stick out like a duck’s bill, making people laugh. People are curious about how Jeong-nyeon, a rising star in the national theater world who is gifted with a voice but has a body that clacks, will grow in the future. Also, attention is focused on the first episode of tvN‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Jeongnyeoni’, which will see what kind of relationship Ok-kyung, the senior who introduced Jeongnyeoni to the world of traditional Korean music, will form in the future.

Meanwhile, tvN’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ’Jeongnyeoni’, which will recreate the popularity of traditional Korean music in the 1950s on TV screens in 2024, is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, October 12 at 9:20 PM.
