An emotional revenge melodrama set to heat up living room screens has been unveiled, and lead actors Jeon Hye-won and Seol Junghwan showed off school-day visuals full of fluttering excitement.
Following "Pearl in Red," KBS 2TV's new daily drama "A Trap Called Desire" is scheduled to premiere on Aug. 10, and today (14th) the production released two-shot stills capturing the pure and radiant moments of actors Jeon Hye-won and Seol Junghwan.
A Trap Called Desire is a fate-restoring revenge melodrama about a woman whose life is stolen overnight by a false murder accusation as she fights the huge desire that led to her ruin.
In the drama Jeon Hye-won plays the protagonist Go Eun-seol, who, despite the pain of being an orphan, grew up brightly while receiving plenty of love from her adoptive parents but is wrongfully accused of murder and forced to walk a turbulent, thorny path. Seol Junghwan plays Cha Seok-jin, Go Eun-seol's only love and the key brain of the major conglomerate Cheongma Group, portraying a heartrending and tender romance bound by a special connection.
In the released stills the two look so perfectly at home in their school uniforms and so refreshingly visual that one could believe they are real high school students. Just by looking at each other they convey the fresh feelings of first love and provide vicarious excitement. Seol Junghwan's affectionate romantic gaze and Jeon Hye-won's brightly radiant smile as she shyly accepts it are heartwarming.
But their fresh love will soon be swept into a whirlpool of cruel fate. Rival lover Kang Hae-ra (played by Joo Saebyeok) develops a vicious obsession with Cha Seok-jin, pulling the three into a relationship that heads toward irreversible destruction. Jeon Hye-won and Seol Junghwan will act as the pivotal axis driving the drama's tense momentum as they unfold a perilous tightrope romance within this triangle.
The production said, "Jeon Hye-won and Seol Junghwan organically move between the past 10 years and the present to sensitively capture the characters' complex emotional shifts," and added, "You can expect the deep acting and legendary-level chemistry the two actors will complete."
In addition, A Trap Called Desire brings together screenwriter Koo Ji-won, who wrote many legendary daily dramas, and director Lee Dae-kyung, known for his stylish direction, and has drawn attention as actress Jang Seo-hee, the "queen of daily dramas," returns to her home network KBS after 12 years.
