The reality that salaries alone cannot withstand, three women on the edge of the cliff jump into coin investment.

On the 16th, a production presentation for MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama `Let's Go to the Moon' was held at MBC's Golden Mouse Hall in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Producer Oh Da-young and actors Lee Sun-bin, Ra Mi-ran, Jo A-ram and Kim Young-dae attended the scene.

'Let's go to the moon' depicts a hyperrealist survival that takes place when three women with dirt spoons who cannot survive on salary alone jump into coin investment. It is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Jang Ryu-jin.




Producer Oh Da-young said, `At first, it was not a time slip, it was not a huge historical drama, it was not a psychopath or killer, so I wondered how to make such a small story"He confessed.

Regarding the difference from the original, "I tried to make the most of the characters' speech and psychology. The setting of the main character did not change significantly, but the age group varied to 20s, 30s, and 40s. There are a lot of settings where three women of their age are usually intimate, but they wanted to capture the concerns of each generation in order to differentiate themselves.

It is expected to provide a different kind of fun to the small screen through novel materials and narratives that have not been covered well in existing dramas. In addition to this, fresh combinations of Lee Sun-bin, Ra Mi-ran, Jo A-ram, and Kim Young-dae are raising expectations.

Lee Sun-bin, who plays the role of Jung Da-hae, a non-public bond employee of the Maronje department's public relations marketing team, said "I felt a strange charm in the script. I'm ignorant of stocks or coins, and the story has flowed to my favorite conclusion. The friendship of three people of different generations was well incorporated into the script."

Ra Mi-ran stars as Kang Eun-sang, the management support team of the Maronje department. He seems to have missed the emotion of the three women. I thought there would be a lot of synergy with Sunbin and Aram." Then "Actually, I don't know the workplace or the coin well. But I wanted to hang out with you. I missed the crowded scene, but it was satisfied while filming. With this combination, there was no reason not to," he added.

It also revealed its actual investment experience. He put 500,000 won into Ethereum four to five years ago, but sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down. But I haven't found it yet. There were some difficulties while reading the script, but I didn't study because I thought it would be worse if I explained it poorly while studying. I will hold out until 500,000 won reaches 500 million won," he joked.




Then "I'm worried about what I'll ask when the work is released knowing that I don't know well. Please don't look for me. I don't know more than you do."

Recently, a YouTube content drew attention by confessing to losing 13kg. Regarding this, there is a scene where I come out in a swimsuit, but it was covered because it was ugly. I took it while I was on a diet, so I was embarrassed. Now I'm taking medication to suppress my exposure. He laughed at the scene by saying, "I take drugs that kill exposure because I'm so greedy."

Cho A-ram, who plays Kim Ji-song, a non-public bond employee of the Maron Confectionary Accounting Team, read the script quickly. The process of different generations of characters building friendships, comforting them, and making memories was attractive."

Kim Young-dae played Ham Ji-woo, director of the big data TF team of Maronje Department. He is a 'Godbyeok' character with not only his main job skills but also visuals and financial power. Kim Young-dae is currently the youngest director of the big data team, but his former job was a former indie singer. I thought I could handle musical instruments because I was a person who did music, but I needed to play drums in the drama. It was my first time playing drums, so I practiced and recorded it myself. I'm not good at singing, but I tried hard." In response, Ra Mi-ran is aiming for music charts to go to the Music Awards"I shuddered.

On the other hand, there are many stories about the work being based on coin investment. Producer Oh said, `Doesn't young friends say that working life alone is not enough. The three people also depend on each other after living like a secluded island at work. think about how to live happily in the absence of a promotion guarantee You choose coins based on the economic basis. The reason why the background of the times was 2017-2018 is because it was a time when coins were considered unfamiliar and not popularized at the time."

Then "It's not a story about trying to make a big hit with coins. It can be seen as a speculative material, but it is only one device and not a subject. If you watch it, you will find that it is a modern subject that relieves worries and hopes for the happiness of female office workers.

The first teaser released last month was also embroiled in a controversy over racism. It was pointed out that actors dressed in Arabian costumes were caricature of Middle Eastern culture when they danced parodying advertisements for the 1980s and 90s 'Scruba'. Although it was intended to reproduce the advertisement more than 30 years ago, criticism poured out that it did not respect other cultures in a different era, and MBC eventually deleted the video and apologized.

In response, producer Oh reflects on his failure to work in detail, saying "There is a burden of course." I've realized that Korean dramas are not just for domestic use now." He continued "I will further develop and refine my cognitive sensitivity in the future."," he said again, expressing his apology.

Finally, producer Oh said, `It contains the warm and fun energy of the actors. You will be able to feel a cheerful and lively energy. "There is talk of money and dirt spoon, but it is never heavy. As soon as I saw it, I saved the speed so that I thought, `I keep watching it,' and the more I go back, the more fun it will become.'

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 『Let's Go to the Moon』 will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 19th.
