Kim Kyungbo, Kang Da Bin and Cheon Heeju, who made completely different choices in the face of love, draw viewers to the front row of their living room.
KBS2's new daily drama "Red Pearl" (writer Kim Seo-jeong, director Kim Seong-geun, produced by DK E&M, Monster Union), scheduled to premiere at 7:50 p.m. on Feb. 23, is a work that depicts a meticulous and intense chronicle of revenge in which two women who returned under false identities uncover the sins and truth hidden in the Adel household.
The stills released on the 28th capture Kim Kyungbo, Kang Da Bin and Cheon Heeju, each exuding a different atmosphere, and seize attention. Kim Kyungbo plays Park Minjun, the half heir of the Adel Group, who serves as one axis of the story. Kang Da Bin appears as Park Hyunjun, Minjun's half brother and a person with a free-spirited charm, showing a different appeal from Minjun. Cheon Heeju plays Choi Yuna, consumed by jealousy, foreshadowing a powerful villain transformation.
First, Kim Kyungbo, who plays Park Minjun, evokes a comfortable atmosphere with a gentle smile. Park Minjun is a character who dreams of a life with the person he loves and freedom rather than power even amid fierce succession battles. However, to protect those he loves, he gradually reveals a tougher side and shakes the Adel Group. Kim Kyungbo is expected to portray the character's changing inner world three-dimensionally with delicate expressiveness.
The stills of Kang Da Bin, who plays another heir of the Adel Group, Park Hyunjun, also attract attention. Park Hyunjun is a person who wants to live freely without greed, a free spirit with a carefree attitude. Kang Da Bin's distinctive bubbly energy amplifies the character's cheerfulness and breathes vitality into the drama.
In another still, Cheon Heeju as Choi Yuna reveals the anxiety and desire hidden behind a prim expression. Choi Yuna, who is strongly jealous and vain, when she fails to win the heart of Park Minjun, whom she had a one-sided love for, makes an irreversible choice to seize love. She later engraves her presence as a legendary villain who heightens the drama's tension by engaging in a tense confrontation with Baek Jinju (Nam Sangji).
Thus, the diverse changes and choices of the three, who start from the common emotion of "love" and walk completely different paths, send the case into a maze and richly complete the drama.
Meanwhile, "Red Pearl" is directed by Kim Seong-geun, who showed sensuous directing in many works including My Merry Marriage, Udangtangtang Family and It's Beautiful Now, and written by Kim Seo-jeong, who has solid writing skills. With Park Jin Hee and Nam Sangji confirmed to appear, it has greatly raised anticipation among prospective viewers.
KBS2's new daily drama "Red Pearl" follows A Graceful Liar and will premiere at 7:50 p.m. on Feb. 23.
