In the upcoming episode 9 of tvN's weekend drama 'How to Become a Landlord' airing on April 11, Jeon Yi-kyung (played by Jung Soo-jung) embarks on a fierce revenge mission after being betrayed by those she trusted.
Jeon Yi-kyung is the most wounded victim in 'Landlord.' After being kidnapped by her husband Min Hwal-seong (played by Kim Jun-han), who coveted her mother-in-law's money, she discovers that her close friend Kim Sun (played by Lim Soo-jung) is his mistress, leaving her engulfed in betrayal. In retaliation, she decides to kidnap Kim Sun's most precious person, her daughter Ki Da-rae (played by Park Seo-kyung).
Adding fuel to Jeon Yi-kyung's vengeful fire is the lie told by Ki Soo-jong (played by Ha Jung-woo). To hide his involvement in the kidnapping with Min Hwal-seong, he deceitfully claims that his wife Kim Sun was a co-conspirator. The anticipation builds around when this lie will be exposed.
Most notably, Jeon Yi-kyung's transformation from her once innocent self into a vengeful figure draws attention to her revenge plot. Although she was a victim, her decision to kidnap makes her a transgressor, showcasing a path filled with both empathy and malice. Director Im Pil-sung hinted in a pre-interview that "Jung Soo-jung delivers a powerful performance beyond expectations in the latter half," heightening anticipation for how Jeon Yi-kyung's justified transformation will unfold.
Episode 9 of 'Landlord' airs on Saturday, April 11, at 9:10 PM.
