Actress Jang Sin-young made her comeback to MBC's daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' while carrying the risk of her husband Kang Kyung-jun's infidelity allegations. In just two episodes, the drama captivated viewers with a variety of stories, from the subtle beginning of the melodrama to a satisfying revenge against a conglomerate.
In the second episode of MBC's daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, directed by Kim Jin-hyung, written by Seol Gyeong-eun, produced by MBC C&I) that aired on the 10th, the fateful connection between Jang Sin-young and Seo Ha-jun began in earnest, and the thrilling revenge ending of Lee Ru-da provided exhilarating catharsis. In particular, the delicate portrayal of Jang Sin-young and Seo Ha-jun spending time together after being entangled in a scooter accident has drawn viewers into the drama, eliciting a strong response.
That day's broadcast depicted the deepening mysterious connection between Baek Seol-hee (played by Jang Sin-young) and Moon Tae-kyung (played by Seo Ha-jun), which began with a scooter accident. Seol-hee showcased her warm humanity by taking care of Tae-kyung, who was injured in the accident, and even cooked bone soup for him, demonstrating her sincerity and exceptional sense of responsibility. Initially defensive, Tae-kyung gradually began to open his heart to Seol-hee's genuine feelings.
In particular, the warm concern shown by Seol-hee to Tae-kyung, who said he had no family to contact, began to melt his cold heart. During a conversation while walking through the hospital garden, Seol-hee said, "There's nobody in this world without a story. But there are things that shouldn't be buried," to which Tae-kyung quietly replied, "There are things that shouldn't be buried... it's the first time someone has said that to me." This scene marked the first time Tae-kyung cautiously mentioned his mysterious past to Seol-hee, sparking viewers' curiosity about his hidden backstory. This meant that Seol-hee became the first person to help Tae-kyung realize what it meant to be understood by someone, implying that their relationship would evolve in a special direction, providing another heartfelt impact.
Meanwhile, the complex family conflicts of Min-gang Distribution began to surface in earnest. As Min Kyung-chae (played by Yoon Ah-jung) exerted great efforts to find Tae-kyung, the tension between his sister Min Su-jeong (played by Ahn Yi-seo) and Legal Team Leader Kim Seon-jae (played by Oh Chang-seok) hinted at an intense power struggle to come. Most importantly, the revelation that Tae-kyung is an essential figure for Min-gang Distribution suggested that the interests of various characters surrounding him are intricately intertwined, further heightening curiosity about future developments.
The highlight of the second episode was undoubtedly the refreshing revenge scene of Baek Mi-so (played by Lee Ru-da). The youngest daughter of Min-gang Distribution, Min Se-ri (played by Park Seo-yeon), secretly returned to Korea from the United States and mistook a friend working at a cafe for a part-time worker, committing acts of abuse. Mi-so confronted her directly, creating a tense showdown. Standing up to Se-ri, who slapped her friend without a valid reason, Mi-so said, "You're the one who made a mistake, so apologize," and completed her satisfying revenge by throwing a cake into Se-ri's face, undeterred by Se-ri's arrogant attitude. Moreover, this scene firmly established Mi-so's character as determined and righteous while signaling the beginning of a fierce confrontation with Se-ri, sparking explosive curiosity for the next episode.
Meanwhile, the third episode of MBC's daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' will air today (11th) at 7:05 p.m.
