In 'The woman who swallowed the sun,' actor Seo Ha-jun returns as a man determined to seek revenge in order to reclaim his stolen past.
The new daily drama 'The woman who swallowed the sun' (written by Seol Kyung-eun, directed by Kim Jin-hyung), which is set to premiere in June, depicts a world where victims transform into perpetrators, showcasing a woman's desperate quest for revenge against a chaebol in the name of her only daughter. It is expected to deliver a message of karma, providing warmth, empathy, fun, and even moving moments while offering a realistic narrative filled with thrilling dopamine. With performances from dynamic actors like Jang Sin-young, Seo Ha-jun, Yoon Ah-jung, and Oh Chang-seok, it aims to perfectly capture the weekday home viewing audience.
In the midst of this, a striking first still of Seo Ha-jun, who plays Moon Tae-kyung, a man returning for revenge, captures attention. Seo Ha-jun is fully immersed in the character of Moon Tae-kyung, who returns vowing revenge after overcoming a tragic childhood, exuding a sharp gaze and a strong aura that elevates expectations to their peak. Moon Tae-kyung is an unfortunate man who lost his parents in a mysterious accident during childhood and was adopted to the United States. Now, after 25 years, he returns to Korea and plans a meticulous revenge to reclaim what was taken from him and correct the wrongs, leading the narrative with his chilling exterior and passionate interior.
Thus, the stills released this time show Seo Ha-jun transformed into Moon Tae-kyung, capturing attention instantly. Dressed in a light-colored suit while gazing straight ahead, he embodies Moon Tae-kyung's strong will and unwavering gaze as he returns after 25 years to start his revenge. One can fully perceive his readiness to confront the reality surrounding him.
In another still, one can observe the commanding presence of the head of the new business at the renowned Min Kwang Distribution in South Korea. His flawless suit fit exudes confidence as he holds the microphone on stage and speaks, suggesting his unwavering strides towards his goals. Particularly, his intensely focused expression reveals the coldness and charisma of Moon Tae-kyung, who is meticulously planning and acting for revenge.
The last still evokes a deeper atmosphere. Seo Ha-jun, sitting in a dark space with a pensive expression, illustrates the complex inner world of Moon Tae-kyung, burdened with the weight of past wounds and revenge. His gaze, which reflects the sadness, solitude, and obsession for revenge hidden behind his toughness, amplifies curiosity about the unpredictable narrative of Moon Tae-kyung that will unfold ahead.
Thus, the production team noted, "Seo Ha-jun has prepared with delicacy not only for the external aspects of the Moon Tae-kyung character but also internally. Transitioning between subtle emotional acting and explosive charisma, he will depict the intricate narrative of Moon Tae-kyung densely." They added, "You can look forward to how Moon Tae-kyung will confront the immense power and carry out his revenge, as well as how Seo Ha-jun will portray the coexistence of coldness and anger in Moon Tae-kyung's narrative."
