From actor Jang Seo-hee's Live Up to Your Name aura to the masterful performances of the cast, the set of "Trap of Desire" was filled with acting.
On the 7th, the script reading for KBS2's new daily drama "Trap of Desire" (written by Gu Ji-won, directed by Lee Dae-kyung and Jung Kwang-soo) gathered the main cast: Jang Seo-hee (as Joo Mi-ran), Jeon Hye-won (as Go Eun-seol), Seol Junghwan (as Cha Seok-jin), Joo Sae-byeok (as Kang Hae-ra), Yoon Hae-young (as Kim Jung-sun), Yoo Tae-woong (as Kang Young-hoon), Jang Se-hyun (as Seo Hyun-jae), Son Sung-yoon (as Seo Mi-rae), Seo Kwon-soon (as Wang Geum-ja), Choi Jae-won (as Go Gi-han), Park Hyun-jung (as Park So-yeon), Park Sung-gyu (as Go Eun-guk), with special appearance by Suh You-jung (as Park Hee-jung).
Returning to the small screen as a villain, the "queen of daily dramas" Jang Seo-hee transformed into the ultimate villain Joo Mi-ran, who robs others of their lives and will stop at nothing for her desires. After the reading, Jang Seo-hee said, "It was the first time meeting the actors, and they portrayed the role more three-dimensionally than I imagined, so I became confident about how to position the role of 'Joo Mi-ran' and it was a very useful time."
Making her first leading role appearance, Jeon Hye-won vividly portrayed Go Eun-seol's despair and rage after being falsely accused of murder and her strong will to move toward revenge. Describing the drama with three words — "dopamine," "revenge drama," and "catharsis" — Jeon Hye-won said, "Through the Eun-seol character, viewers will enjoy the thrill of a satisfying blow. I will do my best to show 200% of myself so viewers won't stop watching the drama."
Seol Junghwan and Joo Sae-byeok will play Go Eun-seol's first love Cha Seok-jin and the only heiress of Cheongma Group, Kang Hae-ra, respectively, hinting at a complex web of relationships. Seol Junghwan pointed out a viewing point, saying, "It will be even more interesting if you closely watch relationships unfolding differently than expected and cases where winners and losers emerge," while Joo Sae-byeok asked viewers to look forward to it, saying, "Hidden truths will be revealed one by one, and the processes of what choices characters make will be intriguing."
Yoon Hae-young and Yoo Tae-woong anchor the drama as the chaebol couple who move Cheongma Group, and actors Jang Se-hyun, Son Sung-yoon, Seo Kwon-soon, Choi Jae-won, Park Hyun-jung, Park Sung-gyu, and Suh You-jung breathe life into their respective characters, promising solid synergy.
KBS2's new daily drama "Trap of Desire" is a revenge melodrama about a woman who had her life stolen by a murder accusation and fights back against immense desire to restore her fate. It follows Park Jin Hee and Nam Sang-ji's "Pearl in Red."
