Park Sung-woong, who moved to the countryside, struggles amid the colorful residents of Yeonriri.
The new KBS 2TV miniseries Sadangmyeon Yeonriri, set to air on the 26th (directed by Choi Yeon-soo, written by Song Jeong-rim and Wang Hye-ji), is a family reboot healing drama about the genuine city family Seong Tae-hoon clan, who suddenly fall into the pristine yet ferocious(?) zone of Yeonriri and scramble to return to Seoul.
Sadangmyeon Yeonriri is directed by Choi Yeon-soo, who co-directed Pump Up the Healthy Love, Crazy Love and The Trial, and is co-written by Song Jeong-rim, who wrote My Merry Marriage and The Bride of the Typhoon, and Wang Hye-ji, who wrote Romance Without Love.
If actors Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung portray a married couple and show a city dweller's sudden move to the countryside and adaptation, Lee Seo-Hwan and Nam Kwon-a will join as the village head couple, bringing commotion and fun to Yeonriri village.
Today (the 6th), stills of Yeonriri residents were released. Among them, novice Seong Tae-hoon (played by Park Sung-woong) draws attention with a bewildered look among the villagers. Seong Tae-hoon, who abruptly switched careers from a thriving career to a farmer with his momentum suddenly halted, faces daily reality checks amid the villagers' scrutiny centered on village head Im Joo-hyung (played by Lee Seo-Hwan). With a difficult adaptation period foreshadowed, questions arise as to whether he can adapt safely to Yeonriri.
Another still captures the dignity of Yeonriri's veteran group led by village head couple Im Joo-hyung and Nam Hye-seon (played by Nam Kwon-a), Lee Sun-ja played by Lee Sun-hee, who boasts incredible information power within Yeonriri, and Wang Dong-sik, the young-and-rich hardware store owner played by Park Suk-won. From mysterious caretaker Noh Hyun-gap played by Jung Seon-cheol to others exuding an unusual presence, attention focuses on why they display hostility toward the new family Seong Tae-hoon and what their relationships are.
Meanwhile, expectations are rising for Choi Woo-jin's performance as Park Sun-gyeong, Yeonriri's 'top groom.' Park Sun-gyeong is a character who displays devotion toward the village head couple's only daughter Im Bo-mi (played by Choi Gyu-ri), and he forms a love triangle between Seong Tae-hoon's son Seong Ji-cheon (played by Lee Jinwoo) and Im Bo-mi, adding interest to the plot. The first broadcast of Sadangmyeon Yeonriri is all the more eagerly awaited because it will vividly portray family stories, neighborly relations and the youth generation's romance.
Meanwhile, Yeonriri residents are said to be composed of accomplished stage actors such as Lee Sun-hee, Park Suk-won, Jung Seon-cheol and Choi Woo-jin, whose solid acting skills enhance the drama's immersion. Their delicate acting honed by stage experience and diverse character play are expected to combine to make Yeonriri village's story more three-dimensional and realistic.
