Actors Gong Hyo-jin and Jung Joon-won depict an ordinary couple harboring secrets behind their everyday facade in a precarious relationship filled with hidden truths.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' (Planning by Kwon Sung-chang, Written by Kim Eun-hee, Directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hoon, Produced by Bon Factory, Baram Pictures, and Studio Fim), set to premiere on the 31st, is a genre drama depicting the struggle of a working mother with one of the world's most brutal professions trying to maintain work-life balance.
In the story, Yoo Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin), an ordinary married woman devoted to housekeeping and childcare who eliminates criminals as a killer, and Kwon Tae-sung (played by Jung Joon-won), a passionate social affairs reporter and devoted supporter of his wife, lead the narrative with their unique marital chemistry.
The couple poster released today (17th) captures a peaceful moment of daily life where the two lie facing each other on a bed with affection. However, the twist that the mysterious killer Kingfisher, whom husband Kwon Tae-sung had persistently investigated, is actually his wife Yoo Bo-na, sparks curiosity about how their relationship will change. The phrase in the poster—"Don't worry. They won't find out"—reveals both her deep love for her husband and her determination to perfectly conceal her identity, adding tension as the audience wonders what consequences Yoo Bo-na's return to her killer life will bring to preserve their ordinary life.
The two actors displayed natural yet profound acting chemistry throughout filming. They will deliver high immersion by delicately portraying the emotional range from the warm romance of a loving couple to the process of keeping secrets.
The production team stated, "Please pay attention to the special narrative of a couple who must keep secrets to protect their loved ones," and added, "We ask for your keen interest in the unpredictable developments that will unfold each episode as Yoo Bo-na, who has a job that must never be discovered by her husband, faces various crises." They also noted that the ironic relationship between the two, who have polar opposite professions yet love each other deeply, will be a major point of interest for viewers.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' will premiere on Friday, July 31st at 9:50 PM.
