Jung Soojung, who has transformed into the only daughter of a wealthy family, promises an impressive performance in Mad Concrete Dreams.
The new weekend drama on cable channel tvN, Mad Concrete Dreams (written by Oh Han-gi, directed by Im Pil-seong), which premieres on Mar. 14, is a suspense drama about a livelihood landlord drowning in debt who joins a fake kidnapping to protect a family and building more precious than life. With a powerful cast lineup including Ha Jung-woo, Lim Soojung, Kim Jun Han, Jung Soojung and Shim Eunkyung, expectations are high.
Jung Soojung plays Jeon Yi-kyung, the only daughter of a wealthy family and the wife of Min Hwal-seong (played by Kim Jun Han). Jeon Yi-kyung grew up with everything she needed and is bright without blemish but carries an inner emptiness. She helps her real estate mogul mother's business while maintaining a placid marital relationship with a husband full of bravado.
With no children between the couple, Jeon Yi-kyung cares for Ki Su-jong (played by Ha Jung-woo) and Kim Sean's (played by Lim Soojung) deaf daughter Da-rae like her own child, living with the two as if they were family. But unexpected incidents descend on Jeon Yi-kyung's peaceful daily life, sending her life in an unknown direction.
The released stills of Jung Soojung as the "landlord" show Jeon Yi-kyung living a life envied by others as the only daughter of a wealthy family. Dressed in glamorous style, Jeon Yi-kyung mingles with people at a banquet hall and parties, wearing a bright smile and a haughty expression. The contrast raises curiosity about how this sheltered Jeon Yi-kyung becomes embroiled in accidents and incidents.
Having steadily built her filmography across movies and drama, Jung Soojung has become an actor audiences now look forward to. Through this "landlord" role, she is expected to take a step up as an actor. By portraying the deprivation and cracks hidden behind Jeon Yi-kyung's glitter, she is expected to deliver a more intense and deeper acting transformation.
The production team said, "Within the tense narrative of 'the landlord,' Jung Soojung reveals a new side. Please look forward to Jung Soojung's performance as she portrays the tumultuous transformation of the character Jeon Yi-kyung."
Mad Concrete Dreams premieres next month on the 14th at 9 p.m.
