Chae Jeong-an's first scene still from tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Family' has been released. Oh Cheon-ryeon's perfect double life, where she immediately subdues a gunman with her clutch, is captured, raising interest.

tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Family' (directed by Jang Jeong-do, Lee Jeong-mook, written by Jeong Yoo-seon), which will be aired for the first time on April 17, is a thrilling family shooting espionage comedy about the husband, a black agent of the National Intelligence Service who disguises his identity as an ordinary office worker, and his sweet and bitter wife who dreams of a perfect family. EP (Executive Producer) Jang Jeong-do, who has executive produced a number of hit films such as the dramas 'Live', 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim', 'The Man Who Became King', 'Our Blues', 'Embrace', and 'The Island', is directing. It is raising expectations as the fourth work with Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-ra, the 'golden combination of box office jackpots'.

In the drama, Chae Jeong-an takes on the role of Oh Cheon-ryeon, a professional National Intelligence Service agent who disguises her identity as a trade agent for Kwon Do-hoon (played by Jang Hyuk). Unlike herself, Oh Cheon-ryeon, who is single, is a person who wants to protect Kwon Do-hoon's family to the end and helps him both materially and spiritually. She is expected to play an active role by showing chemistry with Kwon Do-hoon as a gunner and with Kang Yu-ra (played by Jang Na-ra), a close womanance with a subtle wariness.

In relation to this, on the 30th (Thursday), 'Family' released scene stills containing Chae Jeong-an's double life, drawing attention. In the released stills, Oh Cheon-ryeon exudes unrivaled girl-crush charisma and overwhelms all eyes. While the sophisticated yet understated styling based on the jacket doubles his cool charm, Oh Cheon-ryeon's sharp eyes shine as if he is facing an unusual situation, making even the viewers hold their breath.

In addition, Oh Cheon-ryeon's amazing appearance of instantly overpowering his opponent with just one clutch was captured, drawing attention. Oh Cheon-ryeon's quick judgment of the situation and professionalism stand out in her sharp appearance as she stops the opponent's attack and fixes her gaze on his face to determine his identity. Accordingly, interest is growing in the double life of Oh Cheon-ryeon, the control tower of the National Intelligence Service who, while disguising her identity as a secret agent for Kwon Do-hoon's trading company, sees through every situation and leads the way. Furthermore, expectations are soaring for Chae Jeong-an's performance as Oh Cheon-ryeon, who will show off not only her strong charisma but also her diverse charms, from action acting to delightful twists and turns.

The tvN ‘Family’ production team said, “Chae Jeong-an’s passion and affection for the character Oh Cheon-ryeon is amazing. Based on detailed character research, the double life of a professional duke and Kwon Do-hoon's trading boss was captured in the character of Oh Cheon-ryeon, creating a more three-dimensional and lively character. “Please look forward to ‘Family’, which will feature Chae Jeong-an’s performance.”
