‘Suspicious Girl’ Seo Young-hee and In Gyo-jin appear as a polar opposite couple.

The new KBS2 Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Suspicious Girl’ (directed by Park Yong-soon/written by Heo Seung-min), scheduled to premiere on Wednesday, December 18, is a romantic music growth drama about grandmother Oh Mal-soon who suddenly turns into a 20-year-old Oh Du-ri and once again enjoys her shining heyday. ‘Suspicious Girl’, a remake of the movie of the same name, is garnering attention from potential viewers for its expanded characters and storyline compared to the original.

Seo Young-hee and In Gyo-jin play the roles of Ban Ji-sook and Choi Min-seok, the daughter and son-in-law of Oh Mal-soon (played by Kim Hae-sook) and the parents of Choi Ha-na (played by Chae Won-bin). Ji-sook, a recognized executive at a large corporation, takes out her anger on her mother Mal-soon and hurts her when her only daughter, a model student, declares that she will give up on the college entrance exam. Min-seok, who tried to be a proud husband and started several businesses but failed and is now living with his in-laws, continues to only watch Ji-sook‘s face.

Today (27th), the first stills of Seo Young-hee and In-gyo Jin were released. First, in the photos, Seo Young-hee stands out with her classy career woman aura. She is recognized by everyone at work and is the envy of everyone, but unlike her mother who loves her granddaughter so much, she is always strict with herself, which leaves her with painful scars. We wonder what Seo Young-hee’s indifferent expression is really thinking, and we look forward to the main broadcast to see what kind of episodes she will have with Kim Hae-sook.

On the other hand, In-gyo Jin‘s humorous side is revealed as he smiles brightly while looking at his wife Seo Young-hee. However, in another still, he stares blankly into space with a completely different expression. In-gyo Jin, who has become unemployed again due to a failed business and a betrayal, cannot bring himself to tell Seo Young-hee that he quit his job. He suffers alone, and as time goes by, their relationship gets worse.

As attention is focused on the chemistry between Seo Young-hee and In Kyo-jin, expectations for their new acting variations are rising. In addition, the special chemistry they will display with Kim Hae-sook, Jung Ji-so, and Chae Won-bin, as well as their family story, adds to the interest of the drama.

‘Miss Granny’ is scheduled to air for the first time on December 18 (Wednesday) as a follow-up to ‘Face Me’.
