Yum Jung-ah and Won Jina, the leads of "The Defects," engage in a fierce acting rivalry through bold character transformations.
The new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "The Defects," which will air its first episode on the night of the 21st at 10 p.m., is an action thriller that depicts the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survived after being abandoned by their adoptive parents.
In the drama, Yum Jung-ah plays Kim Se-hee, the actual leader of an illegal adoption organization, who appears to be a respected celebrity in the medical field but hides a ruthless nature. Meanwhile, Won Jina plays Kim Ah-hyun, who was refunded after being adopted within a broken system but dramatically survived. Yum Jung-ah returns as a supreme embodiment of absolute evil, while Won Jina takes on her first action genre role, portraying characters with extreme beliefs in a shocking narrative about illegal adoption.
The stills released on the 14th capture the two actresses completely immersed in their characters. Kim Se-hee, who hides her cold nature behind a luxurious appearance, pursues the surviving child Kim Ah-hyun (Won Jina), creating a suffocating tension as she remains unfazed by the children's desperate cries. Yum Jung-ah's intense and delicate performance is expected to highlight the character's brutality, evoking admiration that she truly lives up to expectations.
Won Jina captures attention with an emotional performance that is completely different from her previous works. In the stills, Kim Ah-hyun expresses her frustration over Kim Se-hee's endless atrocities, delivering a strong immersion with a gaze filled with complex emotions and a narrative of her innermost feelings. The powerful acting combination of the two actresses, which dominates the atmosphere with just stills, already hints at "legendary praise."
"The Defects" sharply illuminates the dark side of reality, delivering a fresh shock to viewers with its challenging and bold narrative. The intense acting rivalry between Yum Jung-ah and Won Jina, set against the extreme scenarios that traverse taboo, is highly anticipated in this high-quality action thriller.
