Actresses Na Young-hee, Ji Soo-won, and Kim Hye-ok show off their three unique maternal love.

The new KBS2 daily drama ‘Cinderella Game’ (written by Oh Sang-hee / directed by Lee Hyun-kyung), scheduled to premiere on Monday, December 2, is a story about a woman who was used as a fake daughter by her enemy and became the incarnation of revenge, growing and healing as she realizes the true meaning of revenge.

In the drama, Na Young-hee plays Shin Yeo-jin, the president of Hyesung Group, and will show the coolness and cruelty of a businesswoman as well as the true nature of a villain. Even the cold-blooded Yeo-jin, who doesn‘t seem like she’d bleed if you stabbed her, has a painful story. Yeo-jin, whose daughter went missing 20 years ago and broke up with her husband because of it, is overcome with longing for her daughter. Her life is divided into before and after her daughter‘s disappearance. She goes all-in on business and makes Hyesung Group grow significantly, but her selfish and arbitrary actions hurt another family member.

Ji Soo-won plays Choi Myung-ji, the ‘incarnation of desire’ who tries to get her hands on Hyesung Group using her daughter Se-young (played by Park Ri-won). Myung-ji’s twisted maternal love has a negative influence on Se-young and shows the limits of her greed. Myung-ji, who is also Yeo-jin‘s sister-in-law, faces a life-or-death crisis when the truth about her daughter Yoo-jin comes to the surface.

Sim Bang-ul, who will do anything for her son Jin-goo (played by Choi Sang), is played by Kim Hye-ok. Originally from Chungcheong Province, she has a gentle and easygoing personality and is good at putting people at ease. In order to repay the kindness of Yeo-jin, who saved her son Jin-goo’s life, she works as a housekeeper at her house and gets caught, causing a stir.

The stills released in relation to this show contain the overwhelming aura of the trustworthy actors Na Young-hee, Ji Soo-won, and Kim Hye-ok, raising expectations for the drama.

First, Na Young-hee catches the eye with her sophisticated outfit that exudes the force of a president and her cold expression. On the other hand, the sadness of a mother who lost her child can be felt in the way she desperately screams while holding onto her missing daughter Yu-jin‘s hat.

Jisoo-won, who catches the eye with her eyes full of greed, is startled by the mysterious figure as if she saw a ghost. People are curious about who shocked her and what Ji Soo-won’s meaningful face, which will lead the play to an unimaginable evil deed, means.

Kim Hye-ok, who has completely immersed herself in the character of Shim Bang-wool, makes even the viewers feel comfortable with her gentle smile and affectionate eyes. Kim Hye-ok, who will show the example of a devoted mother who will do anything for her son, is said to be inseparably intertwined with Na Young-hee and Ji Soo-won, and their chemistry is also highly anticipated.

The production team of ‘Cinderella Game’ said, “Na Young-hee, Ji Soo-won, and Kim Hye-ok, whose names alone inspire trust, are expected to portray various aspects of mothers through ‘Cinderella Game’. “Please show lots of interest and anticipation for the dynamic story they will portray.”

‘Cinderella Game’ will premiere on Monday, December 2nd at 7:50 PM as the follow-up to ‘Scandal’.
