Actor Jang Sin-young is setting a new record for the highest viewership ratings for her drama comeback work 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun'.
In the 18th episode of the MBC daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' (written by Seol Gyeong-eun, directed by Kim Jin-hyung) aired on the 2nd, Jang Sin-young returned with a new appearance and intentionally approached Jeon No-min, causing a shock.
In that day's broadcast, Baek Seol-hee (played by Jang Sin-young), who had gone to the U.S., returned after four years under the new name Jeong Lucia, facing a new phase of revenge. Over the past four years, Min Gyeong-chae (played by Yoon Ah-jeong) and Moon Tae-gyeong (played by Seo Ha-jun) were losing the trust of Min Doo-sik (played by Jeon No-min) without notable achievements.
Meanwhile, Baek Seol-hee approached Min Doo-sik under the guise of coincidence. Pretending to bump into him and spill coffee, Baek Seol-hee intended to gift Min Doo-sik a shirt as an apology, surprising him by saying to the staff who were gossiping about the two, "They are dating." This amplified curiosity about the future relationship between the two and Baek Seol-hee's revenge trajectory.
Thanks to this, 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' recorded a rating of 4.9% nationwide, according to Nielsen Korea, setting a new record for its own viewership ratings. Moreover, 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' marks Jang Sin-young's return to drama after a three-year hiatus since the 2022 drama 'Cleaning Up'. During that time, Jang Sin-young garnered more support as she returned to drama overcoming her husband Kang Kyung-jun's infidelity controversy.
'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun', which captivates viewers with a new twist every episode, is drawing more anticipation for what kind of revenge Baek Seol-hee, who has returned as Jeong Lucia, will unfold and what impact her return will bring.
'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' episode 19 will air today (the 3rd) at 7:10 p.m.
