Producer Kim said at the MBC's new daily drama `The Woman Who swallowed the Sun' held at MBC's Golden Mau Hall in Mapo, Seoul on the 5th that `Jang Jang-young emerged as the number one casting choice.'
"Woman Who swallowed the sun" is a drama about a woman's desperate revenge against a chaebol family in the name of her only daughter, a world in which the victim turns into a perpetrator.
Producer Kim Jin-hyung, who was recognized for his delicate directing skills with the drama 「Hide and Seek」 and Seol Kyung, who has shown solid narratives and realistic lines through dramas"and"Two Women's Room" are predicting the birth of a highly consensus one-day drama that will capture the small screen together.
Producer Kim Jin-hyung seems to be able to describe it as an emotional revenge drama in one word"Mothering is the theme of the drama, but it is the story that leads to revenge. It is very polar, so you will be able to move in and see it comfortably from the beginning."
Jang Shin-young plays Baek Seol-hee, a single mother full of bright and positive energy. Baek Seol-hee, who ran a snack bar and raised her daughter alone, is preparing for a desperate revenge that is different from before as she is caught in a whirlwind of fate in which her small but happy daily life collapses in an instant.
In particular, attention is being paid to the fact that it is her first return to her main job since the controversy over her husband'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. However, it is attracting a lot of attention because it has been a long time since he returned to his main job as a positive electrode.
Kim tried to cast characters who came up intuitively on the risk of actors' privacy issues. All the actors were first in the list now. Jang Shin-young replied, "I've been watching acting, so even when I was on a break, my image came to mind from the first time I read the script."
MBC's new daily drama `The Woman Who swallowed the Sun' will premiere at 7:05 p.m. on the 9th.
