BoA, the final villain of 'My Boyfriend', returns to drama after 8 years... 'Key player' to lead the second half of the season

BoA decorated the last minute as Oh Yu-ra, vice president of Cloud Airlines, in the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Marry My Husband', which aired on the 5th.

As if BoA's presence was reflected, the 11th episode of 'Marry My Husband' recorded 11.8% nationwide, a high of 14.1%, 13.0% in the metropolitan area, and a high of 15.6% (based on Nielsen Korea), once again breaking its own highest viewership rating. With the first half of the season ending with the marriage of Park Min-hwan (Lee Yi-kyung) and Su-min Song (Song Ha-yoon), the appearance of Oh Yu-ra is a sign that the fire will be lit once again.
BoA's Oyu character is known as a chaebol heiress with sociopathic tendencies who cannot tolerate having her belongings taken away. If Kang Ji-won's revenge, which was completed with the marriage of Park Min-hwan and Jeong Soo-min, was the first half of the 10th episode, the remaining 6 episodes are expected to be filled with the second half of the show between Kang Ji-won and Oh Yu-ra with Yoo Ji-hyuk in between. In addition, how Park Min-hwan and Jeong Soo-min, who consider Kang Ji-won as their enemies, unite with Oh Yu-ra will also be a point of interest.
BoA's drama comeback is 7 years after the JTBC drama 'My Wife is Cheating' (2016). BoA, who played the role of single writer Kwon Bo-young at the time, was evaluated as showing good chemistry with the actors by completely melting into the character with her fire-rimmed glasses and tightly tied ponytail visual.
BoA, who was called the 'Star of Asia' and reached the top as a solo artist, did not let go of her passion for acting, and rather than insisting on a big role unconditionally, she was greedy for the character she was attracted to after reading the script. BoA was very attracted to the role of Oh Yu-ra, who strongly dominates the second half of 'Marry My Husband', and decided to play the character after in-depth character analysis and research.
