Actors Yujin, Ji Hyun-woo, and Lee Min-young have confirmed their appearance in the new MBN drama 'First Lady.'
The new MBN drama 'First Lady' (written by Kim Hyung-wan, directed by Lee Ho-hyun, produced by Studio Zidam, Artist Studio, and Roadshow Plus) features a story unfolding with an unprecedented event where a husband elected as president demands a divorce from his wife, who is to become the first lady. In the 67 days leading up to the presidential inauguration, it swiftly portrays the political conspiracies and family secrets that arise amid the suffocating conflict between the president-elect couple.
In particular, 'First Lady' has been completed after a remarkable preparation period of six years. The drama is anticipated to offer a narrative feast prepared by writer Kim Hyung-wan, who has penned works such as 'Dream High 2,' 'Hide Your Identity,' and the movie 'Superstar Gam Sayong.'
Additionally, Yujin, Ji Hyun-woo, and Lee Min-young are gaining attention as they enter their first political related drama combined after a total of 81 years of careers in 'First Lady.'
Yujin plays Cha Soo-yeon, who becomes the first lady she has dreamed of due to her husband Hyun Min-cheol's (Ji Hyun-woo's) presidential election. However, she faces confusion as Hyun Min-cheol demands a divorce along with his election. After a three-year hiatus, Yujin makes her comeback to drama, portraying Cha Soo-yeon's complex emotions with intense performance as she unexpectedly engages in a divorce battle with her husband, completing another striking character.
Ji Hyun-woo plays Hyun Min-cheol, the husband of Cha Soo-yeon (Yujin) and the president-elect, delivering a solid performance. Hyun Min-cheol, who has grown up in an orphanage and risen to the position of president-elect through strong beliefs and tenacity, declares divorce to his wife after being elected. Known for his gentle and caring image from works like 'Gentleman and Lady' and 'Beauty and the Beast,' Ji Hyun-woo proves his expanded acting spectrum through 'First Lady.'
Lee Min-young plays the role of Shin Hae-rin, the closest aide and secretary to Hyun Min-cheol, showcasing her dynamic role in regulating the tension of the drama. Recently, she has been making an impression with her performances in 'The Goryeo-Khitai War,' 'The Perfect Marriage Blueprint,' 'Lawful Love,' and 'Marriage Contract, Divorce Composition 1, 2, 3.' Lee Min-young transforms into a passionate secretary who goes to any lengths for Hyun Min-cheol.
The production companies Studio Zidam, Artist Studio, and Roadshow Plus have teamed up.
The production team stated, "It is an honor to have the gem-like actors Yujin, Ji Hyun-woo, and Lee Min-young, who have delivered powerful performances in every work with deep experience, join 'First Lady.' We believe the exceptional acting of the three and the turbulent narrative will captivate the viewers' eyes and ears, and we ask for much anticipation."
Meanwhile, the new MBN drama 'First Lady' conducted a script reading on April 13 (Sunday). It will ramp up production starting with the first filming in April.
