Lee So Yeon And Choi Yeo Jin Confirmed To Star In New KBS Revenge Drama

TV/Film

Dec 18, 2020

by E. Cha

 

Lee So Yeon and Choi Yeo Jin will be starring together in a brand-new KBS drama!

 

Both actresses have been confirmed to appear in the upcoming KBS 2TV weekday drama “Miss Monte Cristo” (literal title), which is scheduled to premiere in early February 2021.

 

In keeping with its title, which references the classic French novel “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “Miss Monte Cristo” will be a suspenseful revenge drama about a woman whose life was destroyed by the friends she trusted most. After making up her mind to take revenge on those who betrayed her, she returns to reclaim the life that was stolen from her.

 

In her first drama role in over a year and a half, Lee So Yeon will be starring as tragic leading lady Gong Eun Jo, an up-and-coming fashion designer who aspires to make “joyful” clothing like her late father. Just as she begins to find success in both her work and her love life, she winds up losing everything in the blink of an eye when her friends betray her.

 

Meanwhile, Choi Yeo Jin will be making her long-awaited return to the small screen in the role of Oh Ha Ra, a wealthy chaebol heiress and socialite who ends up becoming Gong Eun Jo’s rival. In spite of her arrogance, Oh Ha Ra suffers from an inferiority complex due to being the daughter of a chaebol‘s mistress, and she is known for being a troublemaker within her social sphere.

 

Although the kindhearted Gong Eun Jo is the only friend Oh Ha Ra trusts enough to open up to about her true feelings, their friendship ultimately falls apart when they become entangled in a love triangle with the same man.

 

“Miss Monte Cristo” will begin airing in February 2021, following the conclusion of KBS 2TV’s “A Man in a Veil.”

This drama seems way more interesting than its predecessor. I will watch it.

[raziela 7,204]

Thanks @Jillia I have never watched a daily drama but the plot actually sounds interesting. I have always wanted to see a female version of The Count of Monte Cristo. 

 

I want the FL to be smart and focused in her quest for revenge but from the frustrated posts I usually see on the daily drama threads that seems unlikely I suppose I will wait a while to see the reaction from the regular daily drama veteran watchers before I attempt this.

Not sure yet if there will be any more romance. I guess we have to wait and see.

They remind me of Heaven's Promise, love them! Think we'll get to see a strong female lead in this one.

[backstreetboysfan 5,367]

Cool posters!

[LeftCoastOppa 1,956]

A modern day version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" + a female lead, if they stay close to the source material, it should be awesome.

 

Looks like I'll be watching a daily again

[raziela 7,204]

Thanks for the posters @Jillia

Thank you for sharing the first teaser, @raziela!

[Latte_Anyday 13,812]

Just from the title alone I could tell it was going to be another revenge drama ha-ha! Revenge is a topic very much ventured in many K-Dramas. I just don't know if I would watch 100 ep. of it.
