MBN's new Wednesday-Thursday miniseries 'First Lady' (scripted by Kim Hyung-wan, director Lee Ho-hyun), which will premiere on the 24th, depicts an unprecedented case in which the president-elect asks his wife to divorce him. Amid a fierce battle involving power, love, family and truth, Eugene transforms into Cha Soo-yeon, who will break her life character.
Cha Soo-yeon (Eu-jin) is a kingmaker and first lady who elected her unknown husband Hyun Min-cheol (Ji Hyun-woo) to the presidential position. However, the moment she is about to take office, she is shocked by her husband's demand for divorce and faces suffocating conspiracy, betrayal, and family secrets. In a still released this time, Cha Soo-yeon was seen running through the parking lot with her disheveled hair and a distorted expression with anger. The way he threw off his shoes, ran barefoot, and his knees cracked shows that the perfect world of first lady is shaking.
Through this scene, Yu-jin melted Cha Soo-yeon's emotions, where anger, confusion, and desperation intersect, into her eyes and breathing sound. The barefoot running that rings the parking lot and the struggle to chase the truth even in a state of being full provide viewers with an intense sense of immersion. The production team also said, `Yu Jin is the only actor who can express Cha Soo-yeon's instinctive charisma and inner confusion at the same time,' adding, `The acting that threw her whole body away will leave a shock and lingering impression on the small screen.'
First Lady is a hyper-realist drama about the unconventional conflict between the president and his wife and a conspiracy that shakes the political world, co-produced by Studio Gidam, Artist Studio, and Roadshow Plus.
'First Lady', which is a collaboration of 'K-Content Master' and raised expectations with Eugene's drastic transformation, will premiere at 10:20 p.m. on the 24th.
