With only three days left until the first broadcast, we picked out viewing points of Sim Woomeon Yeonriri that you must not miss.
#Reliable pairing Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung's nth collaboration
Park Sung-woong plays Seong Tae-hoon, a director general at a large company who is suddenly reassigned and sent down to the rural village of Yeonriri. Through Seong Tae-hoon, the K-head of household who throws himself into unfamiliar rural life for his family, he shows his distinctive human charm. Lee Soo-kyung also appears as Jo Mi-ryeo, a "super mom" who raised three sons in place of her husband, bringing a bright and lively character that enlivens the drama. The two previously worked together in KBS drama Gaesori in 2024, and in this project they reunite as a married couple to show an even more upgraded acting chemistry. With the promised perfect chemistry between Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung, their synergy is expected to draw viewers to watch the live broadcast. In addition, distinctive actors including Lee Seo-Hwan, Nam Kwon-ah, Lee Jinwoo and Choi Gyu-ri join the cast to further elevate the drama's completeness.
#A coming-of-age story drawn by family and neighbors together
Sim Woomeon Yeonriri depicts the return to farming life that unfolds when the family of Seong Tae-hoon (played by Park Sung-woong), who had been living apart, suddenly moves to the countryside. Aiming to return to Seoul, Seong Tae-hoon takes on cabbage farming, but he finds himself in a difficult situation amid conflicts with village chief Im Ju-hyung (played by Lee Seo-Hwan). Especially as Im Ju-hyung's blatant checks and obstructions continue, Seong Tae-hoon faces a cabbage farming mission with unreasonable conditions added, leading to unpredictable developments. Attention is focused on whether Seong Tae-hoon can overcome these difficulties and achieve his goal.
Meanwhile, Jo Mi-ryeo (played by Lee Soo-kyung), who began rural life following her husband, adapts to the new environment by socializing with members of the women's association. The couple's three sons — Seong Ji-cheon (played by Lee Jinwoo), Seong Ji-sang (played by Seo Yoon-hyuk), and Seong Ji-gu (played by Yang Woo-hyuk) — also adapt to rural life and grow in their own ways. Also appearing as long-standing village fixtures are village chief Im Ju-hyung, women's association president Nam Hye-seon (played by Nam Kwon-ah), and the village chief's daughter Im Bo-mi (played by Choi Gyu-ri), enriching the drama further.
In Yeonriri, there is never a quiet day as the "brand-new" Seong Tae-hoon family and the "stagnant" residents clash, producing various incidents and conflicts. Seong Tae-hoon gradually changes through processes of clashing and cooperating with villagers, and the fresh relationship that develops between Seong Ji-cheon and Im Bo-mi will add excitement. Their blockbuster scandal that will turn the village upside down also serves as another viewing point.
Regarding this, director Choi Yeon-su, who is in charge of directing, said, "The Seong Tae-hoon family itself is a viewing point. Actress Nam Kwon-ah, who plays women's association president Nam Hye-seon, gave the Seong Tae-hoon family the nickname 'golden family,' and I hope viewers watch how they change. I hope viewers will laugh and cry together at scenes that are sadly funny because they resemble us," she said.
#Healing guaranteed! The pristine rural area Yeonriri that smells of people
Set against the rural backdrop of Yeonriri, the story conveys the warm little moments of everyday life along with affectionate scenery. Various elements that capture rural life, such as fertilizer and nurseries, provide viewers with fresh enjoyment and stimulate a warm and familiar sentiment.
Earlier, Park Sung-woong said, "It is a work full of the smell of people and the smell of earth," and added, "I hope it becomes a time to recall emotions we forgot amid busy daily life." Warm and full of human scent, viewers expect that whatever stories unfold in the pristine Yeonriri will bring comfortable laughter and leisure to those tired of everyday life.
