The MBC new daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' airs for the first time today (9th), while Jang Sin-young makes her return after three years. This is the first work she presents after pausing her activities following the affair controversy involving her husband Kang Kyung-jun.

The MBC new daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, directed by Kim Jin-hyung, written by Sul Kyung-eun, produced by MBC C&I) tells the story of a woman’s desperate revenge against a conglomerate in a world where victims have transformed into perpetrators, all in the name of her only daughter. With the first broadcast scheduled for today (9th) at 7:05 p.m., director Kim Jin-hyung, Jang Sin-young, Seo Ha-jun, Yoon Ah-jung, and Oh Chang-seok revealed the key points to watch, raising expectations to their peak.

#1. A story guaranteed by the acting skills of excellent actors! The power of casting that Kim Jin-hyung is confident about!

The first point to watch is the acting skills of actors you can trust. Director Kim Jin-hyung noted, "The actors are really doing their best to perform," and added, "Even if the same story is told, how it is expressed can change the experience, so there will definitely be fun in the story itself." He expressed absolute trust in the actors' skills, stating that, "Having cast truly excellent actors will make watching their performances a sufficient point to watch."

As proof of this, Jang Sin-young, who has returned to her main profession after a long time, is expected to deliver a passionate performance that ranges from her deep maternal love for her daughter to her immense desire for revenge, portraying extreme emotional lines skillfully. It is anticipated that her acting, as she dives into the enemy's conglomerate and completes her revenge, will create an overwhelming sense of immersion while discovering new charms. Moreover, the inclusion of seasoned actors like Seo Ha-jun, Yoon Ah-jung, and Oh Chang-seok, along with the powerful supporting actors Jeon No-min and Park Cheol-min, further guarantees the drama's immersiveness.

#2. A different quality from the mise-en-scène! A harmonious blend of revenge, melodrama, and comedy!

The second point to watch is the unique level of completion found only in 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun'. Seo Ha-jun emphasized, "I am confident that viewers will feel the difference in the mise-en-scène of our drama," adding, "Not only the actors but also the characters have distinct colors." He continued, "There is a wealth of viewing pleasure because the chemistry between those characters and the narratives each character holds contains both comedy and tragedy," stating that "revenge, melodrama, and comedy are all presented with high quality."

Oh Chang-seok also mentioned, "Viewers' standards for watching dramas have become much higher," saying, "I believe daily dramas also need to transform anew." He promised, "As you would see from the highlight video, we are filming with great effort to show something more developed," assuring that viewers will be able to watch a higher quality daily drama. Reflecting this, 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' is expected to deliver not just dependence on extreme dichotomies or sensational setups, but instead provide thrilling satisfaction through a story that reflects the depth of reality, alleviating the fatigue of aggressive dramas, and capturing viewers' expectations.

#3. A series of moments you can't take your eyes off! A rich narrative of uniquely strong characters!

The last point to watch is the rich stories that each character will provide. Jang Sin-young stated, "There won’t be a dull moment," expressing, "There will be continuous moments you can't take your eyes off, so I think viewers will keep watching, and it will become a drama they seek out." She also shared the passion on set, stating that "all the actors and staff are concentrating and working hard on filming."

Yoon Ah-jung stated, "All characters have strong personalities and clear goals," noting that "rather than focusing on a single character, if viewers watch the narratives or emotional lines of all characters together, it will provide richer points to watch." From Baek Seol-hee (played by Jang Sin-young), armed with goodwill and positive energy, to Moon Tae-kyung (played by Seo Ha-jun), returning for revenge after 25 years, and Min Kyung-chae (played by Yoon Ah-jung), who owns charisma created by capital, and Kim Seon-jae (played by Oh Chang-seok), an ambitious man who will stop at nothing to succeed, the intertwining relationships among these uniquely charming characters are expected to create a high-tension melodrama filled with complex emotions of love, betrayal, and jealousy, encompassing a conflict between good and evil.

Thus, 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' is expected to deliver a thrilling catharsis provided by a bloody revenge tale and a pleasant satisfaction of karma, conveying the clear message of meritocracy. It promises to be a highly relatable drama where viewers can sometimes hold their breath and at other times cheer on the thrilling revenge, enabling a shared experience of laughter and tears.
