KBS 2TV miniseries "Simwumyeon Yeonriri" (directed by Choi Yeon-su, written by Song Jeong-rim and Wang Hye-ji) presents a colorful parade of characters as figures with different personalities and backgrounds come together. From the rough but warm residents of Yeonriri to the family of Seong Tae-hoon (Park Sung-woong), who came down from the city, characters of different emotional temperatures clash and blend, offering cheerful laughter and warm empathy. We looked at the characters responsible for the increasing laughs of "Simwumyeon Yeonriri," which becomes more and more exciting with each episode.
#unique "tsundere" village chief Im Ju-hyeong!
Im Ju-hyeong (Lee Seo-Hwan) reveals hostility toward Seong Tae-hoon, who is from "Matstory," yet drives laughs with his affectionate "tsundere" charm. When the ailing Seong Tae-hoon neglected field maintenance, he secretly tidied the field, creating a contrast between his outward attitude and his actions. In particular, Im Ju-hyeong's blithe line, "Seong Tae-hoon didn't come to help. I came to exercise," brought smiles to viewers.
Meanwhile, Im Ju-hyeong was angry at Seong Tae-hoon, who was preparing cabbage seedlings to send to the company, but soon checked his sincerity for his family and pretended not to notice while helping. Im Ju-hyeong's line, "(Punch a hole in) the packing box! Seedlings or whatever, they need air to live," left an impression with its rural warmth and realistic empathy. At the end of episode 5, Im Ju-hyeong is shown checking CCTV to find the person who damaged Seong Tae-hoon's field, drawing attention to what his choice will affect.
#curiosity explosion the Seong household's "cutie" youngest Seong Ji-gu!
Seong Tae-hoon's youngest son Seong Ji-gu (Yang Woo-hyeok) also shines as an indispensable "smile-inducing character." Full of curiosity, he met the new world of farming and showed an eccentric yet lovable charm. At the school he and Seong Ji-sang (Seo Yun-hyeok) transferred to, he heard a dialect and asked, "What language is that?" and he also made viewers laugh with his frank line to his father Seong Tae-hoon, who is trying to get closer to his son: "You can do it the way you used to." Seong Ji-gu's unadorned straightforwardness became a charm of the character, and his pure perspective of accepting the world in his own way in an unfamiliar environment is prompting viewers at home to smile like mothers.
#yeonriri residents, the "supporting cast" who add laughter!
The "Rae sisters" elders Lee Deok-rae (Kim Geun-a), Lee Ok-rae (Kim Gwak-kyung-hee) and Lee Mak-rae (Cha Hee), the village's official information officer Lee Seon-ja (Lee Seon-hee), who speaks faster than she acts, and Yeonriri's young-and-rich hardware store owner Wang Dong-sik (Park Suk-won) and other villagers add to the drama's fun. Earlier, Wang Dong-sik showed loyalty by helping Seong Tae-hoon's farming despite Im Ju-hyeong's warning, and Lee Seon-ja witnessed Seong Ji-cheon (Lee Jinwoo) and Im Bo-mi's (Choi Gyu-ri) date scene and immediately told Nam Hye-seon (Nam Kwon-a), showcasing her fast tongue as the village's "official information source" and generating laughs.
The "Rae sisters" elders secretly prepared side dishes for the ailing Seong Tae-hoon, conveying warm affection, and added heartwarming feeling by offering a sincere apology to Seong Tae-hoon, saying, "We're sorry we couldn't properly welcome you holding your double eyelids up." In addition, they injected vitality into the drama by cheerfully praising Seong Tae-hoon in front of Im Ju-hyeong, saying, "Like Mersima, he's handsome, tall, and looks like he can use his strength really well," among other remarks.
In this way, "Simwumyeon Yeonriri" offers laughter and healing with a story that brings together a variety of characters.
