At the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Mary Kills People' production presentation held at the MBC headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 31st, Lee Bo-young said "I talked a lot about the death of my husband Ji-sung and his assistant "Right or wrong "
'Mary Kills People" is a suspense drama about a doctor who helps untreatable patients die of assisted death and a detective who tracks them down. It will provide viewers with deep empathy and something to think about by reflecting social discourse in a timely manner with a drama about assisted death that is becoming an issue around the world.
As Lee Bo-young plays Woo So-jung, an emergency medical doctor who helps with assisted death, she is trying to renew her life character, and ethical controversy seems to have been somewhat burdened. Bo-young Lee "I got this script last year. At that time, I saw an article that an overseas couple died together from assisted death. And I talked about it with my husband for a long time. 'It's not bad, it seems like we've lived a happy life to be able to make this choice when we're old and not a burden'' he said.
Then "I still don't know. Right, I can't say wrong. It cannot be said that it is correct when looking at the minds of the remaining people, the social view, and the children left behind. Still, I hope it will be an opportunity to talk about this topic."
Coming back as an MBC drama after 13 years "As it's been a long time, there's pressure to get a good result."," he said with a smile.
MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Merry Kills People' will premiere at 10 p.m. on August 1 (Fri).
