Jang Hyuk & Jang Na-Ra cast in tvN drama “Family”

Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-Ra are cast in tvN drama series “Family.” Also cast in major supporting roles are Chae Jung-An and Kim Nam-Hee. “Family” will mark the 4th time Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-Ra will work together following “Bright Girl’s Success,” “You Are My Destiny,” and “Drama Festival 2014: Old Goodbye.” The drama series “Family” features a family-spy-comedy script with Jang Hyuk playing a secret agent, who holds an ordinary office job by day, and Jang Na-Ra playing his wife.

“Family” will first air April, 2023 in South Korea (taking over tvN’s Monday & Tuesday 9PM time slot after “Our Blooming Youth“).

Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: Kwon Do-Hoon (Jang Hyuk) is married to Kang Yoo-Ra (Jang Na-Ra). He is a secret agent for the NIS (National Intelligence Service) and a veteran sniper with a quick and highly accurate shot. By day, he disguises himself as an ordinary employee for a trading company. Even his wife Kang Yoo-Ra believes he holds an ordinary office job. Kwon Do-Hoon is busy with his work, so he is unable to spend much time with Kang Yoo-Ra. Nevertheless, he loves his wife more than anything else. Meanwhile, Kang Yoo-Ra always dreamed of having a perfect family. She met Kwon Do-Hoon and married him. She works as a housewife and does it well, but she has a secret that nobody knows about.

Tae-Koo (Kim Nam-Hee) appears in front of Kwon Do-Hoon and Kang Yoo-Ra. His appearance shakes the peaceful life of Kwon Do-Hoon and Kang Yoo-Ra.

@Lmangla sweetie, I am so excited about this drama. The synopsis states that the wife doesn’t know about her husband’s identity as an agent / sniper. But that she also is harboring a big secret that no one else knows about. If this is a Mr and Mrs Smith situation it will be too predictable, so am hoping her secret will be of a different character.

 

Do we know what genre this is?

Well, you’re not @Sleepy Owl who lives and breathes for his Jang Nara noona, so I wasn’t sure.  

[sweetroad]

Definitely watching this one! Thankfully it starts in April and not now, because I’m seriously having a hard time keeping up with the four dramas I’m watching right now. @africandramalover I don’t know how you do it. 

 

Should be fun to see Jang Hyuk and Jang Na Ra be husband and wife the entire show. And I love that in the synopsis it says he basically adores her more than anything else.

 I most be sleeping , I didn’t know king & queen of noodles are back

[sweetroad]

Hmm the poster does have a Mr and Mrs Smith vibe, doesn’t it? @partyon

 

And her gun is quite close to his suit there. Maybe that accounts for his surprised look .

according to DB, it is supposed to be "action comedy" -- I am hoping her secret will be something super scandalous and funny. mr and mrs smith situation is too boring.

Of course I'm watching!! I want "Fated to Love You" level kiss scenes though,especially the presscon kiss. They better not flake on me!!!

 

@the_sweetroad the trick is to watch them in the middle of the night (because priority is work) then trim the drama list to the essentials (because KDramas are kinda boring nowadays)
