On the 5th, a production presentation for MBC's new daily drama `The Woman Who swallowed the Sun' was held at MBC's Golden Mau Hall in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Producer Kim Jin-hyung, actors Jang Shin-young, Seo Ha-joon, Yoona-jung, Oh Chang-seok, and Irida attended the production presentation.
"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."
What I paid attention to about directing is that "Since it is an emotional revenge play, of course, there is a scene where dopamine bursts." I tried to capture the emotions of the actors here."

Jang Shin-young introduced the play, saying, "I'm between Lee Ruda and mother, and I'm living a happy mother-daughter life, and everything is taken away by an unintended accident." At the same time, about his role Baek Seol-hee "What should I do in a situation where my daughter, who is a victim, has turned into a perpetrator?' He explained, "A person who goes to take revenge on his own."
The mother-daughter acting breath is "We have a lot of emotional scenes, but we filmed it crying all day yesterday as well. Without that part, the center of the drama would be shaken, so I continued to act with sincerity."
In particular, it is also drawing attention that it is the first time in three years that it has returned to the small screen since the 2022 drama 'Cleaning Up'. Jang Shin-young was nervous and excited because it was his first work in three years. I started with the pressure of 'Let's do well for now', but as I was filming, I got a little bit of energy, he said.
Then "I fell in love while reading the script. The producer made me focus, and thanks to this, I forgot the nervous moment. I was able to act more like Baek Seolhee," he added.
Attention is also focusing on 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.
Jang Shin-young responded to the husband's controversy by "First of all, I was grateful that the director gave me an opportunity to play Baek Seol-hee. He gave me a chance at a time when he was thirsty for acting. He acted to death thinking, "I'm the only one who needs to do well." Every time I shot one scene at a time, I said 'This is the end of my acting. If you look at it, you'll think that he's acting because he's so into it.
"I'm acting with all my heart, so I want you to watch our drama in terms of content, rather than my personal parts."," he said cautiously.
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."

Oh Chang-seok, who appears as Kim Sun-jae, head of Mingang Distribution's legal team, is a former lover of Baek Seol-hee. However, the role of boldly abandoning a woman full of desire, looking only at success and going straight is the role." Taking on the villain role was trained by abandoning his girlfriend and wife even at the time of 'Witch's Game' three years ago. He was a terrible man in the world, but he felt a lot of joy. The villain feels frustrated and beaten, but the villain is cheerful. At that time, I had fun playing the villain, and this time I asked to become a more mature villain."
Jang Shin-young also plays the role of Oh Chang-seok "It's really bad. He left me desperately. While acting, I thought, "Why am I so cheeky?' I thought so. Actually, I'm nice, but when I act, my eyes change."
Irida is Baek Seol-hee's smart daughter, Baek Mi-so, who turned from a member of Cosmic Girls into an actor. Iruda learned a lot about how to give love and how to receive it while working as a group. I think I was able to express brightness and darkness well with a smile by bringing that memory," he said with a smile.
Finally, Jang Jin-young urged viewers to watch, saying, `There will be no time to get bored and the moments to take your eyes off.'
MBC's new daily drama `The Woman Who swallowed the Sun' will premiere at 7:05 p.m. on the 9th.
