MBC's new daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' captures attention by unveiling a still of Jang Sin-young that explodes with desperate maternal love and foreshadows a fierce revenge.
As a follow-up to 'Kindhearted Seon-joo,' MBC's new daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, directed by Kim Jin-hyung, written by Seol Kyung-eun), set to premiere on June 9, depicts a woman's desperate revenge in a world where victims have transformed into perpetrators, confronting a conglomerate in the name of her only daughter. In the series, Jang Sin-young plays Baek Seol-hee, a single mother who raises her daughter Mi-so with unwavering positivity despite her hardships, leading the narrative. A still that reveals Seol-hee's deep maternal love has been released, capturing attention. The still shows Seol-hee, who was raising her daughter Baek Mi-so (played by Lee Ru-da) courageously, anticipating a shocking event that dramatically shatters her ordinary and happy life, leaving viewers feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
In the released stills, Seol-hee expresses her deep love for her daughter with her whole being. In the first still, the affectionate feelings of a mother are conveyed through her gaze directed at her daughter Mi-so. Her expression, which seems overwhelmed just by looking, subtly reveals a mother's instinctive vigilance and anxiety to protect her daughter, hinting at the impending crisis they will face. The next still conveys a serious atmosphere. Seol-hee's expression and glance while on the phone exhibit a blend of anger, despair, and a resolute determination, making it increasingly difficult to look away.
Another still showcases a dramatic change from previous ones. A heartbreaking expression while sitting in the park holding her child's clothes, followed by Seol-hee's disoriented face, which appears on the verge of tears, is captured. The sight of Seol-hee, who was usually strong and resilient, crumbling in such a manner suggests the severity of the trials she faces. Especially, the expressions of Seol-hee in the stills are imbued with poignant maternal love for her daughter Mi-so, leaving a profound aftertaste. Even in a situation where her happy daily life collapses, and in moments of rage, the center of all her emotions remains the love and affection directed solely at her daughter Mi-so, sparking more curiosity about Seol-hee's narrative in 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun.'
Above all, this still powerfully illustrates how deeply Jang Sin-young has immersed herself in the role of Baek Seol-hee. Based on her accumulated acting skills, she delicately expresses the diverse spectrum of maternal love, guiding viewers to naturally empathize with her emotions. In particular, the emotional flow that begins with anger rooted in love for her daughter and leads to revenge is conveyed sufficiently with just a few stills, heightening expectations for the birth of her new life character.
