Sweet Home 2' Chae Won-bin, Han Seok-gyu's only daughter... Appearance in new MBC thriller

 

BF.35597571.1.jpg

 

Actress Chae Won-bin is collaborating with 'Grand Senior' Han Seok-gyu. Chae Won-bin, who emerged as a trend as a result of Ten Asia's coverage on the 17th, will appear on MBC's 'This Close Traitor' (planned by Namgoong Seong-woo, directed by Song Yeon-hwa, written by Han A-young).

 

‘This Close Traitor’ is a family psychological thriller drama depicting the dilemma faced by Korea’s best profiler when he learns his daughter’s secret related to the murder crime he is investigating. Han Seok-gyu was cast as Jang Tae-soo, the best profiler in Korea and the father who raises his only daughter alone. Chae Won-bin plays the role of Han Seok-gyu's only daughter in the play.

 

Jang Tae-soo is an established figure who voluntarily walked the path of a criminal behavior analyst from a time when even the word profiling was unfamiliar, and is a person who has gained unrivaled respect and trust within the police organization. Expectations are high to see the chemistry between Jang Tae-soo, a character who is perfect and respected professionally, but alienated as a husband and father, and his daughter.

 

Chae Won-bin made her debut with the web drama ‘Secret Secret’, followed by the web drama ‘Twenty Twenty’ and the movie ‘Witch (魔女) Part 2.’ In many works such as ‘The Other One’ and tvN’s ‘Usa and Joy’, she has built up her filmography by perfectly portraying various characters.

 

Last year, starting with the movie 'Shuttle, the Strongest Shuttle', she left a mark on viewers by playing an active role in four works, including KBS' 'Pure Boxer', KBS 'Drama Special 2023 - Confession Attack', and Netflix's 'Sweet Home Season 2'.

 

Currently, Chae Won-bin is about to release Netflix's 'Sweet Home Season 3' and the movie 'Shuttle 2 (working title)', and she has additionally confirmed her next two films and is preparing for a powerful leap forward again this year.

Han Seok-kyu is betrayed by The Intimate Traitor

by lovepark

 

MBC has released the first teaser for its upcoming mystery thriller The Intimate Traitor (working title). The show stars Han Seok-kyu (Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 3) as criminal profiler Jang Tae-soo who faces a life-shattering truth while searching for answers.

Opening to an eerie soundtrack and a creaking door, the text on screen reads, “No one can know that my daughter is a murderer.” The teaser immediately introduces the crux of Tae-soo’s problem and slowly reveals his trust wavering as the days go by. Whether at work or driving his car, Tae-soo looks conflicted, and those around him notice his strange behavior.

 

The teaser reflects two people walking — most likely this tense father and daughter pair— but while her steps turn into a run stopped by traffic, his come to halt inside a corridor. The camera then focuses on a bleeding hand, but it only leaves more questions in its wake as Tae-soo wishes for no one to find out.

 

 

Tae-soo’s daughter Jang Ha-bin played by Chae Won-bin (Sweet Home 3) stares ahead with a blank expression and asks her father if he suspects her right now. As if responding to her question, he lets out a shuddered sigh, and the scene cuts to black.

The premise sounds different from the usual fare, and in particular, the focus on a father-daughter relationship where the daughter may be the criminal sounds intriguing. Despite its short length, the teaser conveyed the tense atmosphere well and captured the internal conflict raging within Tae-soo. Plus, with Han Seok-kyu as one of the leads, the show is sure to be a riveting watch.

Written by newcomer Han Ah-young who won the Excellence Award in MBC’s 2021 script writing contest and directed by PD Song Yeon-hwa (Wild Boar Hunting), MBC’s The Intimate Traitor is slated for ten episodes and plans to premiere early October of this year.

Kim Jeong-jin to Star in MBC's "Doubt"

 

photo1813736.jpg

 

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doubt" is a father-daughter thriller drama in which Korea's best profiler Jang Tae-soo (Han Suk-kyu) faces his daughter's secret related to the murder case under investigation and desperately collapses to pursue the truth in the abyss.

Kim Jeong-jin plays the role of runaway family leader Choi Yeong-min, who can't control his emotions and acts impulsively in the drama. Kim Jeong-jin, who will portray the character with a strong impact in a dense way, is drawing attention to his new acting transformation.

Actor Kim Jeong-jin debuted in the 2022 movie "Christmas Carol". Despite being a rookie, he has developed his acting skills step by step by step by appearing in dramas "Taxi Driver 2", "Decoy", and "Revenant", showing his stable acting skills and solid presence.

In the Coupang Play series "Once Upon a Boyhood" which aired last year, he played the role of Yang Cheol-hong, the leader of the Buyeo Nong High School gang. Although Kim Jeong-jin is a typical example of 'strong-weak and weak-strong', he completed the character with a sloppy charm despite his rough appearance and was loved by many viewers. In particular, he received countless favorable reviews for his detailed character digestion, including his cool dialect acting, his half-shaved hairstyle, and his free-spirited attire.

Attention is already focusing on how much Kim Jeong-jin, who has been continuing his solid acting career with such a clear impression, will show his strong charm in the next work, "Doubt".

Meanwhile, MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doubt" which Kim Jeong-jin is scheduled to appear in, is scheduled to air in the second half of this year.
