Girl group T-ara alum and actress Ham Eun-jung and actor Yoon Seon-woo meet as lovers in 'First Man,' which is the first project for both after their marriages.
On the 11th, MBC's new daily drama "First Man" released stills capturing Ham Eun-jung and Yoon Seon-woo's fateful first meeting, drawing attention.
"First Man" is a drama about a woman who lives another person's life for revenge and a woman who stole another person's life out of desire, depicting their deadly confrontation. The intertwined fate of twin sisters entangled by misguided desire and the mismatched four-way romances surrounding them are expected to deliver a thrilling dose of dopamine to viewers.
Among them, the released stills capture the first meeting between O Jang-mi (played by Ham Eun-jung), the most resilient survivor, and handsome, humanitarian lawyer Kang Baek-ho (played by Yoon Seon-woo). The scene in which O Jang-mi and Kang Baek-ho unexpectedly fight over a single taxi foreshadows the start of an extraordinary connection between the two and arouses interest. Expectations rise about how their relationship will develop into romance.
Coincidentally, Ham Eun-jung and Yoon Seon-woo recently held wedding ceremonies, drawing attention. Ham Eun-jung married film director Kim Byung-woo, and Yoon Seon-woo married actress Kim Ga-eun. As such, "First Man" attracts attention as the first work the two leading actors are presenting after marriage.
Above all, the two people's embarrassed expressions as they simultaneously grasp the same taxi door and look at each other catch the eye. O Jang-mi looks at Kang Baek-ho with a determined gaze full of suspicion, as if she absolutely will not give way. Meanwhile, Kang Baek-ho's surprised rabbit-like eyes at O Jang-mi's unexpected appearance make viewers smile.
It is also notable that the two coincidentally carry shopping bags with the exact same design. The fact that two people who have lived completely different lives not only approach the same taxi at the same time and place but also hold the same shopping bag seems to hint at the start of a special connection born from this seemingly coincidental meeting.
The production team said, "This scene highlights the natural chemistry created by Ham Eun-jung and Yoon Seon-woo. The first encounter that began over a single taxi is the opening salvo of the fateful romance that will unfold." They added, "Beginning with this seemingly coincidental but inevitable meeting, please look forward to how O Jang-mi and Kang Baek-ho open their hearts to each other and what tumultuous story their romance will lead to."
"First Man" succeeds "The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun" and will premiere on the 15th.
