After returning to the small screen four years after the 2021 broadcast of 'Come to Witch's Restaurant,' Song Ji-hyo opened the door to 'Confidence Man KR' with a striking transformation.
The mini-series 'Confidence Man KR,' which premiered on TV Chosun on the 6th, is a caper comedy where three con artists with versatile skills seek revenge against the villains of this era.
Song Ji-hyo made a special appearance in the first episode as Baekhwa, a con artist shaman who targets the desperate individuals caught in their desires.
Baekhwa, who appeared with a striking look while shaking a bell, attempted to con Ye-sol's mother (Lee Bong-ryun), who is determined to do anything for her daughter despite difficult circumstances. Baekhwa showed no guilt about deceiving those who were struggling yet desperate, and rather attempted to exploit their background.
Baekhwa's misdeeds did not end here. She entered an illegal casino, displaying a sincerity unmatched in gaming, and even got into a scuffle with Lee Rang (Park Min-young) over the game results. When chaos erupted from a police raid, she abandoned Gu Ho (Joo Jong-hyuk), who was willing to sacrifice himself for her, and fled with just the money bag. However, her joy was short-lived as she soon realized that the bag was filled with talismans instead of cash, leading to her frustration.
In 'Confidence Man KR,' Song Ji-hyo showcased a bold styling with deep red lips and distinctive eyeliner makeup. Captivating the audience with her performance that embodied not only her appearance but also the daring dialogue and the character of Baekhwa, she portrayed the multifaceted nature of Baekhwa, creating a heightened sense of immersion with her charismatic yet greedy demeanor when it came to money.
Song Ji-hyo transformed into a character that is 180 degrees different from her previous work, signaling a successful start for 'Confidence Man KR.' The 'main job moment' displayed by Song Ji-hyo added to the excitement, showcasing her acting skills that adapt any character with her unique flair and raising expectations for her future activities.
Meanwhile, Song Ji-hyo is active as a fixed member of SBS 'Running Man' and is set to release the film 'House of Encounters.'
