"Shim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri" actors Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung are set to bring healing to Thursday home screens.
The new KBS 2TV miniseries "Shim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri," directed by Choi Yeon-soo and written by Song Jeong-rim and Wang Hye-ji, which premieres on the 26th at 9:50 p.m., is a family reboot healing drama about the genuine city family, the Seong Tae-hun household, who are suddenly dropped into the pristine yet fierce(?) area "Yeon-ri-ri" and scramble to make a comeback to Seoul.
With little time left until the first broadcast of "Shim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri," the lead actors Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung revealed keywords and viewing points about the work.
Park Sung-woong meets viewers as Seong Tae-hun, the K-head of household who moves with his family to the rural "Yeon-ri-ri" after a sudden reassignment. He said, "There is a fun unpredictability to where the story will go. It warms you but also has twists, and it covers family, neighbors and young-generation romance, so it's very diverse. I think it's literally a gift set–type drama. If you open your heart and watch comfortably, you'll naturally get drawn in."
Park Sung-woong described the keyword for "Shim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri" as "the love of Mungyeong." He said, "We filmed mostly in Mungyeong, and on the days when Tae-hun was filmed planting napa cabbage, the field owner always brought delicious food and snacks. I was so grateful for that kindness that when I think of this work I can't leave out the love of Mungyeong," explaining his reason. He added that the scene he is most looking forward to is, "As in the previously released teaser, there is a scene where my character bickers with Lee Seo-Hwan, who plays village chief Im Joo-hyung; we almost made it up as ad libs. Please look forward to the meeting between Tae-hun and Joo-hyung."
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-kyung, who plays Jo Mi-ryeo, who raised three sons alone while tied to her company, caused a stir by taking on a "super mom" character for the first time. She said, "I spent a lot of time with Park Sung-woong and the actors who play the sons during waiting times. Each time, an old-man joke battle would break out, and I remember that Woo-hyuk, who plays the youngest Seong Ji-gu, actually wrote old-man jokes in a notebook and came prepared," sharing an on-set episode that piqued curiosity about their genuine family chemistry.
Lee Soo-kyung also described "Shim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri" with the keyword "cold." She said, "It was so cold that we used nearly 200 hand warmers, but when we laughed together with the cast it felt warm. The times we took care of each other during filming are what I remember most," raising anticipation for the broadcast where their synergy will shine.
Meanwhile, "Shim Woo-myeon Yeon-ri-ri," which will confirm the trusted-once-you-see-them pairing of Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung, is directed by Choi Yeon-soo, who jointly directed "Pump Up the Healthy Love," "Crazy Love" and "Run On," 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 "A romance without dating."
