'Simwoomyeon Yeonriri' Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung shared their impressions of meeting again.
On the 25th, at The Saint in Sindorim-dong, Guro District, Seoul, a press conference was held for KBS2's new miniseries 'Simwoomyeon Yeonriri' (written by Song Jeong-rim and Wang Hye-ji, directed by Choi Yeon-su, produced by Sim Story).
'Simwoomyeon Yeonriri' is a rebooting healing family drama about the genuine urban family Seong Tae-hoon household, who suddenly fell into the pure yet fierce(?) area 'Yeonriri' and struggles chaotically to comeback to Seoul. Director Choi Yeon-su, who co-directed 'Pump Up the Healthy Love', 'Crazy Love' and 'The Campaign', teamed up with writer Song Jeong-rim, who wrote My Merry Marriage, and writer Wang Hye-ji, who wrote 'Romance without love'.
Park Sung-woong plays Seong Tae-hoon, the K-family head who rose to a corporate director general position through his abilities but, after a sudden transfer, moved with his family to the rural 'Yeonriri'. Park Sung-woong wittily depicts Seong Tae-hoon's transformation as he leaves the city and finds true happiness in nature, and is expected to deliver harmless laughter and emotion to viewers at the same time.
Returning to KBS after two years since 'Dogshit', Park Sung-woong said, "When the script came in, it was a character I could express well. I thought I could portray Seong Tae-hoon's role as the K-family head well, so I chose it."
Lee Soo-kyung plays Jo Mi-ryeo, a supermom who raised three sons alone while her husband was tied to his company. Jo Mi-ryeo, who entered Yeonriri with no farming knowledge and no experience living in the countryside, faces more obstacles than imagined and unfolds a chaotic adaptation period.
Lee Soo-kyung said, "So far in my acting career, this is the first time I've played a role that directly raises children. I think having grown sons is a challenge for me, and there always seems to be a transitional period as an actor. Amid that, I thought it was a good opportunity, and if I could work with good colleagues on a good project, I thought I absolutely had to do it."
Especially, after working together on KBS2's 'Dogshit', which was also the late Lee Soon-jae's final work, and the play 'Rendezvous', Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung are expected to show an upgraded chemistry as a married couple in 'Simwoomyeon Yeonriri'. Lee Soo-kyung said, "Because I had worked with Park Sung-woong before, I felt a bit more at ease," and Park Sung-woong said, "In the previous work we got married at the end, so we did become a couple, but there weren't many confronting scenes. Still, I worked with Lee Soo-kyung raising three children and we matched our rhythms."
KBS2's new miniseries 'Simwoomyeon Yeonriri' will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on the 26th.
