tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Jungnyeoni' (directed by Jung Ji-in/scripted by Choi Hyo-bi/planned studio Dragon/production studio N, management mmm, and NPO Entertainment) depicts the competition, solidarity, and brilliant growth period surrounding the 'natural sound genius' who challenges the best national drama actor after the Korean War in the 1950s. Director Jeong Ji-in, who directed 'Women's Gukgeuk', catches the megaphone, and raises expectations with the participation of Kim Tae-ri (played by Yoon Jeong-nyeon), Shin Ye-eun (played by Heo Young-seo), Ra Mi-ran (played by Kang So-bok), Jung Eun-chae (Moon Ok-kyung), Kim Yoon-hye (Seo Hye-rang), and Moon So-ri (Seo Yong-rye) and Lee Deok-hwa (played by Gongseon).
Among them, Yoon Jeong-nyeon, played by Kim Tae-ri, is a sound genius who came to Seoul with a single blood body in Mokpo to become a national drama actor. Heo Young-seo, played by Shin Ye-eun, is the best elite researcher of the Maeran Gukgeuk Company with solid skills and family background. In addition, Kang So-bok, played by Ra Mi-ran, is the leader of Mei-ran with charisma like the opposite side, and Moon Ok-kyung, played by Jung Eun-chae, and Seo Hye-rang, played by Kim Yoon-hye, are representative stars in the national drama industry who play male and female roles in Mei-ran, respectively.
Among them, 'Jungnyeoni' side released a poster that gives a glimpse of the exciting relationship between the main characters of the play, Youngseo, Sobok, Okgyeong, and Hyerang. The released poster captures the main characters of Maeran in a variety of combinations in the image of looking at the cover visuals of literary magazines in the 1950s.
First of all, the retirement age and Youngseo's two-shot attract attention. The two people, wearing research uniforms, are staring straight ahead with their backs facing each other, and a tense fight is felt between the two. At the same time, the copy phrase 'You are my only rival and friend' raises questions about the growth narrative of the two girls, who will form a three-dimensional relationship beyond simple rival composition.

Meanwhile, the retirement age and the two-shot of Okgyeong suggest a succession structure surrounding the position of `Mae-ran's best star'. The retirement age looks at Ok-kyung, who exudes the aura of a sophisticated star, with envy, and Ok-kyung stares at the retirement age with curious eyes. The synergy that occurs when the already completed star and the gemstone with endless potential face each other is intense.
On the other hand, Ok-kyung and Hye-rang's two shots, the best stars of the Maeran Gukgeuk Company, create a precarious mood. While Hye-rang is only looking at Ok-gyeong, Ok-gyeong, who has her back to Hye-rang, is just looking at the distance with a complex and subtle expression. At the same time, the copy that reads 'This stage from now on belongs to you and me' creates tension as Hye-rang's fierce desire and obsession to monopolize the best position in the national drama world is buried.
In response, the production team stated that "Jungnyeoni" is a work that not only deals with the fresh material of Gukgeuk, but also tries to capture the stories of the surrounding people and the inside of the Maeran Gukgeuk Company in a dense and three-dimensional manner, centering on the protagonist, Young-soo. "As the charm and individuality of each character are clear, the colorful synergy created by confronting and harmonizing each of them will be another point of view to enjoy "Jungnyeoni". Please look forward to it."
tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Jungnyeoni' will premiere at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday, October 12.
