“Lee Ji-ah, who has to hide her past, is a prisoner of people” ‘Pandora’


'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise' opens Pandora's box, where secrets bigger than you can imagine are hidden.

tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pandora: Fabricated Paradise', which will be aired for the first time on the 11th, is a revenge story in which a woman living a life that everyone envies recovers her lost memories of the past and punishes the forces that manipulated her fate. The production team of 'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise', which will complete a revenge drama on a different level with the twists and turns created by two-faced characters, unpredictable suspense, and thrilling visuals, pointed out the points to watch two days ahead of the first broadcast.

◆ Kim Soon-ok’s division’s proprietary sense of speed and twists… A relatable restaurant created by two-faced characters

'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise' is a new work from the Kim Soon-ok division, written by a local writer with solid writing skills, with writer Kim Soon-ok, who wrote 'Penthouse', 'The Last Empress', and 'Temptation of a Wife', as the creator. The ever-changing relationships and swirling narrative created by the two-faced characters in the swirling events will provide thrilling and thrilling fun in each episode. Writers Kim Soon-ok and Hyeon-min Hyun said, “It is not a typical revenge drama that is identified as encouraging good and punishing evil, but a drama about relationships.” He added, “It will show various relationships where people suddenly become enemies against their will and then end up on the same side again.”

Another point to watch is the process of discovering who you are in a situation where no one can be trusted. The two writers said, “Please look forward to the whirlwind of rapid development and unexpected stories,” adding, “Tae-ra (played by Lee Ji-ah)’s surprising past and her need to hide it, the growing suspicion of people, and the characters who try to shake up Tae-ra’s life. Please stay tuned to see what choice Tae-ra will make. Also, please give us a lot of support so that Tae-ra can be happy.”

He continued, “When Pandora’s box is opened, you will definitely be surprised by the tremendous truth.” He added, “Whether to ignore the truth or see it right away, the choice is all up to Tae-ra. The only thing we want is for Tae-ra to be happy. So I support her choice. “If viewers are curious about Tae-ra’s choice, please watch ‘Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise’.”

◆ Lee Ji-ah’s unique killer action… An evolved revenge story created with spectacular visual beauty

'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise' is directed by Choi Young-hoon, who provided catharsis through his previous work 'Wonder Woman', and unfolds a thrilling and evolved revenge story. Director Choi Young-hoon maximized the spectacle with bold angles and colors while vividly depicting the characters' ever-changing desires and emotions in a three-dimensional way. Hong Tae-ra gives up her life to protect the people she loves. Ji-ah Lee's killer action, which does not hesitate to do anything, combined with the lively visual beauty, raises expectations for the fun of a unique revenge drama.

Director Choi Young-hoon said, “The attractions of Kim Soon-ok-pyo’s general entertainment show contain the youthful spirit of a local writer. I think it is a theme park-type drama with puzzle mystery and imagination, rather than a roller coaster where you just run.” “I hope it will be a great entertainment for weekend evenings,” he said.

He continued, “I hope you will think of it not as a work with grand meaning, but as entertainment and a great play that will energize your dull and boring daily life.” He added, “The name of the planet in the movie ‘Avatar’ is Pandora. “Even though it may not be a box office sensation like ‘Avatar,’ I hope it will bring a storm of joy to the small screen.”

◆ Synergy of Ji-ah Lee

The story of the two-faced characters is an essential point to watch in ‘Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise.’ This is why we look forward to the actors' acting transformation that will bring life to the interesting story. Lee Ji-ah, Lee Sang-yoon, Jang Hee-jin, Park Ki-woong, and Bong Tae-gyu contribute to an unpredictable story that no one can believe. Starting with Lee Ji-ah as Hong Tae-ra, who faces a shocking past in her unsealed memories and sets out for revenge, Lee Sang-yoon as Pyo Jae-hyeon, who has a perfect life and is a loving husband and father, and Jang Hee-jin as Go Hae-soo, who has an unhealed past wound, Park Ki-woong plays the role of Jang Do-jin, a man with a silver spoon and breathtaking desires, and Bong Tae-gyu plays the role of Gu Seong-chan, a genuine man with an eccentric temperament.

Director Choi Young-hoon’s trust is also strong. He said, “There are many hidden twists and desires, so there is not a single character,” and “Because it is a narrative of betrayal and revenge in which any character can be stabbed at any time, the chemistry and rhythm between the actors were more important than anything else. “The chemistry and transformation of the actors will be an interesting point to watch,” he emphasized.

‘Pandora: Fabricated Paradise’ will be aired for the first time on the 11th at 9:10 PM.
