"I'll refund the kids."ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama "I Shopping" which started from an intense copy, sheds light on the shadow of reality and asks heavy questions to viewers."

Director Oh Ki-hwan and actors Yeom Jung-ah, Won Jin-ah, Choi Young-joon, and Jinyoung Kim (Dex) attended the production presentation held at the Sangam Stanford Hotel in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 21st to show their deep affection and passion for the work.

ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama `I Shopping' (directed by Oh Ji-hwan / scripted by Ahn So-jung / production group Aite, Take One Studio) is an action thriller about the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survived the death threshold after being abandoned by their adoptive parents. Expectations are high, predicting an unconventional setting that deals with illegal adoption cartels that buy and sell abandoned children to parents, and are able to be refunded free of charge after adoption.




Director Oh Ki-hwan, who directed the drama, introduced "Our drama is a story that encompasses various human emotions and hatred like Greek mythology." He worked on filming with the mindset of an eight-part movie and tried to melt the cinematic density from music to directing"A 19-year-old version for OTT and a 15-year-old version for ENA were separately produced, signaling a viewing experience with various resolutions."

In the play, Yeom Jung-ah plays Kim Se-hee, a medical celebrity and the head of an illegal adoption and sale organization. He led the axis of his work with cold duality and cold conviction, saying, `Se-hee is the devil. I had to be a worse person to make the children look more pitifulI enjoyed the villain's performance' he said.

Then, regarding the overlapping appearance of tvN drama 'First, For Love', which will be released on August 4, I did not know that the programming would be like this. It is a character of resolution that is completely different from a different genre. I hope both characters are loved."

"I tried to get close to him because not only practice with the stunt team but also trust with the actors is important."Our drama has a heavy theme, but at the same time, there are many colorful and eye-pleasing scenes," he said.

Dex (Jinyoung Kim), who tried acting for the first time in the role of "Jeonghyun", proved his potential as an actor beyond an entertainer through this work. `At first, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to act, but I felt that my job as an actor was better suited to human Jinyoung Kim than Dex did while working in other works.' `I loved the process of immersing and concentrating while filming." he said.

Yeom Jung-ah said, `It was impressive to see him living as Jeong Hyeon all day in a really rookie positionI admired his attitudeHe said ", and Choi Young-joon evaluated "When I stand in front of the camera, my eyes turn around"The concentration is already evidence of a good actor".

As for the action scene, Dex "I even hit him in real life without realizing it. I was so immersed that I almost hurt my partner"But I was able to be more immersed because all the seniors understood it."

Choi Young-jun laughed and said, "(The dex) was really fast and strong, so it was thrown inevitably." "But I felt that much passion."

In particular, he said "It was so hard that actor Won Jin-ah was taken to the emergency room during filming."I deeply appreciate the actors' dedication."
