Jang Shin-young's intense revenge narrative "Woman Who swallowed the sun" confirmed its first broadcast on June 9 (Mon).

MBC's new daily drama `The Woman Who engulfed the Sun' depicts a world in which a victim turns into a perpetrator, a desperate revenge drama of a woman against a chaebol family in the name of her only daughter. In addition to containing a sincere message in a story reflecting reality, the combination of attractive development and actors' enthusiasm suggests the birth of a 'weekly evening customized' drama with the emotion, fun, and empathy that sometimes makes one feel anxious together and sometimes gives passionate support to revenge.

In particular, Jang Shin-young will portray warm and strong motherhood as Baek Seol-hee, who has raised her daughter alone for 16 years. Baek Seol-hee, who always attracts people's attention with her bright and positive energy, was happily spending her normal life going around every corner of the neighborhood while running 'Smile Snack' named after her daughter, but she faced the beginning of the tragedy when she became involved with the royal family of chaebols.

Above all, it is also eye-catching that it is her first main job comeback since the controversy over her husband Kang Kyung-joon's affair. Kang Kyung-joon was sued for damages worth 50 million won in December 2023 on suspicion of having an affair with a married woman A. The trial in question ended with the claimant's approval in September last year.

At that time, Jang Shin-young "I talked a lot with my husband. I blamed myself and reflected on myself countless times. We have had a painful time that is difficult to put into writing, but we are only trying to live in a family again for the sake of our children." Since then, Jang Shin-young, who appeared on entertainment programs such as SBS 'My Ugly Baby' and KBS2 'New Release Pyeon Restaurant', has also appeared on home shopping channels in February and radio stars' in April.

Among them, the two teaser posters implicitly capture Jang Shin-young's unconventional transformation and desperate revenge narrative as Baek Seol-hee, overwhelming the eyes at once.

First, in the first poster, Jang Jin-young, standing proudly in a red dress in an antique background, reveals her strong presence. He holds a rose in one hand, but the petals scattered on the floor seem to imply a tragedy that has come unannounced in his life. On top of that, the copy 'After that day, I decided to throw everything out of me" conveys the heart of Baek Seol-hee, who is determined to throw herself out only for revenge, and makes us look forward to a dramatic narrative.

Another poster delivers a more intense message by taking a close-up of Baek Seol-hee's face against the sun. As if to engulf great adversity, his determined expression with venom feels a firm will for revenge that has no further receding. Then, the eyes that contain anger toward the world contain a strong will to return everything, so just looking at it gives you shudder. In particular, the copy phrase 'All I had left was revenge' suggests the fierce journey he will take, further amplifying viewers' curiosity.

The two teaser posters released this time are raising expectations for the main broadcast to its peak, foreshadowing the whirlwind of fate that Baek Seol-hee's character will experience and his desperate revenge. Attention is focusing on what overwhelming performance Jang Jin-young, who is ready to show a variety of charms from strong motherhood to a revenge drama that will deliver thrilling dopamine, will captivate viewers in "Woman Who swallowed the sun".
