On the afternoon of the 24th, a production presentation for MBN's new mini-series 'First Lady" (script by Kim Hyung-wan, director Lee Ho-hyun, production by Studio G-Dam, Artist Studio, and Roadshow Plus) was held at The Link Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Ho-hyun and actors Yoo Jin, Ji Hyun-woo and Lee Min-young attended the meeting to talk about the work.
`First Lady' tells the story of an unprecedented case in which a husband who was elected president seeks divorce from his wife, who will become the first lady. During the 67 days remaining until the inauguration of the president-elect, the president-elect and his wife will speed up the plot and secrets of the family.
Yu-jin plays Cha Soo-yeon, an outstanding kingmaker who became a first lady by electing her husband Hyun Min-chul (Ji Hyun-woo), an unknown activist, to the president, heralding a new life character.
Eugene, who is returning to drama four years after 'Penthouse', found the script interesting, starting with the scene of divorce. Cha Soo-yeon was coveted because she was a strong character who had never done it. He said, "He is bold and attractive enough to look bad." He told the background of choosing 'First Lady' as his return work. Regarding the burden of the popularity of the previous work, "If there is no, it is a lie. This drama was difficult in the beginning because there were few characters and many parts that had to be dragged. It was difficult to implement the character, so I wondered if I should have prepared more, but I gained confidence after filming repeatedly. It's true that I'm nervous ahead of the first broadcast, but it means that I've taken on a new challenge."
'First Lady' will premiere at 10:20 p.m. on the 24th.
