"Simwoomyeon Yeonriri" delivers a healing detox to Thursday living rooms with a rural story like nothing seen before.
KBS 2TV's new miniseries "Simwoomyeon Yeonriri," directed by Choi Yeon-su and written by Song Jeong-rim and Wang Hye-ji, set to premiere on the 26th at 9:50 p.m., is a family reboot healing drama about the real urban family Seong Tae-hoon, who is suddenly dropped into the pristine, ruthless(?) area of Yeonriri and struggles to make a comeback to Seoul.
The group poster for "Simwoomyeon Yeonriri," released today (the 12th), piques interest with a village map concept gathering the quirky residents of Yeonriri. The people in the poster are recreated as miniatures, offering a novel fun as if exploring Yeonriri corner by corner.
Seong Tae-hoon (Park Sung-woong), who moved into Yeonriri after a sudden transfer, grabs attention by becoming instant rivals who snarl at each other the moment he meets village chief Im Joo-hyung (Lee Seo-Hwan). The contrast between Seong Tae-hoon, who farms, and Im Joo-hyung, who mocks him, raises curiosity about how their creaky relationship will unfold from their first meeting.
Seong Tae-hoon's wife Jo Mi-ryeo (Lee Soo-kyung) tries to get closer by going back and forth between Sunny Hair and the café run by Nam Hye-seon (Nam Kwon-ah), the behind-the-scenes power in Yeonriri and the head of the women's association. It will be interesting to see whether highly adaptable Jo Mi-ryeo can win over Nam Hye-seon, who pushes her away. Added to this, the contrasting expressions of the second son Seong Ji-sang (Seo Yun-hyeok), who dislikes going to school, and the simply bright youngest Seong Ji-gu (Yang Woo-hyeok) bring laughs.
Meanwhile, the tender romantic currents between the children that unfold amid Yeonriri's clean nature and peaceful atmosphere also draw attention. Seong Tae-hoon and Jo Mi-ryeo's eldest son Seong Ji-cheon (Lee Jinwoo) and Im Joo-hyung and Nam Hye-seon's only daughter Im Bo-mi (Choi Gyu-ri) feel a strong attraction to each other despite their parents being rivals, conveying a ticklish excitement. The glances between Seong Ji-cheon and Im Bo-mi, and Park Soon-gyeong (Choi Woo-jin) looking at them with jealous eyes, create a triangle in Yeonriri town that promises to generate endorphins.
Elsewhere in the village, various episodes will unfold, such as Lee Seon-ja (Lee Seon-hee) and Wang Dong-sik (Park Suk-won), who secretly enjoy dating, the "Rae sisters" Lee Deok-rae (Kim Geun-ah), Lee Ok-rae (Kim Gwak-gyeong-hee), and Lee Mak-rae (Cha Hee) who watch the fights between Seong Tae-hoon and Im Joo-hyung, and more. Viewers are eager to see how the Seong Tae-hoon family, which crash-landed in Yeonriri, will get along and adapt with residents who exude strong personalities.
Meanwhile, "Simwoomyeon Yeonriri" is directed by Choi Yeon-su, who co-directed "Pump Up the Healthy Love," "Crazy Love," and "The Gag Concert" (Chulsapyo), 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 Love Without Romance.
