Kang Kyung-joon's affair forgiveness Jang Shin-young laughed for the first time in three years



Actor Jang Shin-young made a splendid return after three years. Jang Shin-young's enthusiastic performance, which conveys vitamin-like charm just by watching MBC's daily drama 「Woman Who swallowed the sun」, properly captivated viewers from the first broadcast.

MBC's daily drama 「The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun」 (planned by Jang Jae-hoon/directed by Kim Jin-hyung/playwright Seol Kyung-eun/produced MBC C&I) has finally lifted its veil. The first broadcast on the 9th revealed the charm of Baek Seol-hee (Jang Shin-young), who spends her happy daily life with her only daughter, Baek Mi-so (Iruda), and made viewers fall into the drama at once.

As a result, the ratings of the first episode recorded 3.8% based on Nielsen Korea's national households, announcing a pleasant start.




On this day's broadcast, Seol-hee's positive charm of raising her daughter's smile alone while running a smiley diet was conveyed. In addition to spending a comfortable daily life with her daughter, Seol-hee, who was unable to overlook events and accidents in the neighborhood and revealed her righteous side without filtration, was enough to make a smile, and Seol-hee and Miso's warm and close mother-daughter relationship left a deep impression.

Among them, when Seol-hee, who runs Miso Food, witnessed a student being bullied by a group of people during delivery, she said, `I can't just let it go.' The scene of eradicating them through a video call with a police officer showed his righteous personality and at the same time gave him a pleasant catharsis. In particular, Jang Shin-young was the owner of an ordinary snack bar, but she played the role of a local hero naturally and showed her acting ability to fully immerse herself in the character.

In the scene of the international high school admission counseling, the realistic situation of a single mother family is depicted delicately. "I gave birth and raised myself without my dad, but my mom did a good job for two peopleI didn't do anything because I'm good at doing things on my ownThe deep bond between mother and daughter, who respect and care for each other, was felt in Seol-hee's humble response, which touched the hearts of viewers.




Meanwhile, a fierce power struggle between Min Kyung-chae (Yoon A-jung) and Min Soo-jung (Ahn Seo-seo) began inside Mingang Distribution. "We look alike because we're sisters. Oh, you were half-sisters, right?The confrontation between Su-jeong and Kyung-chae, who responded, "'You don't know your place, so you're going to hurt your big nose any day.'" raised tensions, signaling a dark battle within the chaebol family.

The climax of the show was the fateful first meeting between Moon Tae-kyung (Seo Ha-joon) and Seol-hee, who returned from the United States. The scene where Seol-hee, who was delivering on a broken scooter, threw herself and saved Tae-kyung when she almost hit the child, and the two fell, alludes to the beginning of a fateful relationship that will become deeply entangled in each other's lives, leaving an intense lingering image.

In particular, Jang Shin-young naturally embodied a wide range of emotional spectrum, from bright and positive energy in ordinary daily life to deep maternal love for her daughter, showing the possibility of a change in the character that heralds a full-fledged revenge play. Here, Ha-joon formed another axis of revenge narrative by revealing his willingness to reveal the truth related to the unfair death of his parents.




As such, 'Women Who swallowed the sun' completely captured the eyes and ears of viewers by portraying the character's charm from the first broadcast. Therefore, expectations and interest are at their peak for the second episode, which will air today (10th), how the desperate revenge of a mother who lost her only daughter will unfold in a world where the victim turns into a perpetrator, and how the two people who met fatefully will confront the huge evil.
