The production presentation of tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 『Jungnyeoni" (written by Choi Hyo-bi, directed by Jung Ji-in) was held in Conrad Seoul, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 10th. Director Kim Tae-ri, Shin Ye-eun, Ra Mi-ran, Jung Eun-chae, Kim Yoon-hye and Jung Ji-in attended the event.
It was also controversial among viewers that the popular Buyong character in the original was deleted from the drama. Director Jung Ji-in said "I know that I had concerns about Boo-yong's character even before I came in. In the process of consulting with the original author, I, the writer, and I had to delete the main character in order to understand how to focus on the 12-episode episode and to make viewers who have not seen the original work understand. Instead, I think the story was told so that it could be focused on the Maeran Guk Theater Company and the actors who starred in it.
Based on the Naver webtoon of the same name (writer Seo Yire/Namon), Jung-nyeon is a work that contains the competition, solidarity, and brilliant growth period surrounding the 'natural sound genius' who challenges the best national drama actor set after the Korean War in the 1950s. Director Jung Ji-in, who has been recognized for his directing skills through the drama 『Clothes Sleeve Red End』 using the fresh material of women's Gukgeuk, will take the megaphone. 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), Moon So-ri (Seo Yong-rye), and Lee Deok-hwa (played by Gongseon) will be in the work.
'Jungnyeoni' will premiere at 9:20 p.m. on the 12th.
