Actress Won Jina challenges her first action genre through the drama "I Shopping."
The new ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "I Shopping," which will air for the first time on July 21 at 10 p.m. (directed by Oh Gi-hwan, written by Ahn So-jung), is an action thriller that depicts the desperate survival and revenge of children who barely survive after being abandoned by their adoptive parents. Based on a Kakao Webtoon that recorded over 51 million views and won the 'Best Creativity Award,' it is highly anticipated even before its broadcast.
In the drama, Won Jina portrays Kim Ah-hyun, who was returned after being adopted but dramatically survived. Kim Ah-hyun is the leader and spiritual support of the surviving children, who confronts unexpected truths after a desperate struggle for revenge and survival. Equipped with cold judgment and strong survival instincts, Kim Ah-hyun quickly assesses the situation and takes the lead during crises, showcasing the peak of survivor narratives with her complex interior and deep emotional lines.
Today (the 19th), the first stills of Won Jina giving a glimpse of the character Kim Ah-hyun were released. In the stills, Won Jina captures attention with eyes that intersect deep anger and sorrow. Her sharp expression, as if sensing a threat, and her resolute gaze suppressing emotions embody the weight of a "chilling survivor."
Having heralded the birth of a new character through "I Shopping," Won Jina is set to showcase a different side of herself with performances that encompass both physical tension and emotional depth. She is prepared to present an unforgettable intensity to viewers with her dark yet striking charm as she challenges her first action genre.
The production team noted, "Actress Won Jina has perfectly portrayed the deeply nuanced character Kim Ah-hyun with her stable acting skills," adding, "You can look forward to Won Jina's performance, which will further solidify the world of 'I Shopping.'"
Meanwhile, "I Shopping" is a new project co-produced by Group 8, the successful production company behind dramas based on originals such as "Today, Also Lovable," the "Taxi Driver" series, "My ID is Gangnam Beauty," and "Boys Over Flowers," alongside Take One Studio, which produced "Your Honor" and "Luca: The Beginning." Additionally, it is a new work presented by ENA, which has been rewriting box office records with each of its Monday-Tuesday drama broadcasts, such as "New Recruit" and "Tastefully Yours" in 2025.
