'Missy Durian', writer Lim Seong-han, "shock and confuse"

'Mistress Durian' foreshadowed the end of the shock.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, TV CHOSUN's new weekend mini-series 'Missy Durian' production presentation was broadcast live online. Director Shin Woo-cheol, actors Park Joo-mi, Choi Myeong-gil, Kim Min-jun, Han Ga-gam, Jeon No-min, Yoon Hae-young, Ji Young-san, Yoo Jeong-hoo, and Lee Da-yeon attended.

'Missis Durian' is the first fantasy melodrama written by Lim Seong-han (Phoebe). A grand party is held at the Dan family's villa, and the strange and timeless fate of the Dan family unfolds with two mysterious women who appear at the right moment during a lunar eclipse.

Even before the broadcast, the meeting between a star writer and a star director is a hot topic. 'Look Again', 'My Heaven', 'Mermaid Lady', 'The Tale of a New Gisaeng' and 'Marriage Lyricist Divorce Composition' recorded the highest ratings ever for TV CHOSUN dramas, Seonghan Lim (Phoebe) and Secret Garden', 'The Gentleman's Director Shin Woo-chul, who showed sensuous and detailed directing skills in 'Dignity' and 'Gu Family Book', came together.

On this day, director Shin Woo-chul said, "I met writer Lim Seong-han (Phoebe) for the first time while working on this work" and "I only heard about him through rumors. Since he is so mysterious and shrouded in a veil, I wondered what his work style would be like. Before we met, it was 90% fear and 10% anticipation.”

He added, "Hasn't he produced a lot of hit works? The moment I first saw the script for the first part, I thought that there must be a reason why he is famous. I had no choice but to admit it because I felt his inner strength."

The actors also showed their affection for writer Lim Seong-han (Phoebe). Park Joo-mi said, "There is a new word these days called 'Im Seong-han World'. When I received the script for the first and second parts, I thought that it seemed to have put a spoonful of novelty into 'Im Seong-han World'" and said, "It was so new and fun."

Park Joo-mi, who played the role of Durian, a woman in the drama 'Oeyun Nae-gang', said, "The script is so detailed that I tried to understand it well." I am grateful and honored for entrusting me with the role.”

Choi Myung-gil takes on the role of Baek Do-i, the best adult of the Dan family and the head of the conglomerate family. He raised expectations by saying, "It was a thrilling script. A script that gives an actor excitement is very meaningful."

Previously, through a teaser video, the scene of a daughter-in-law confessing and kissing her mother-in-law was revealed, drawing attention. I was shocked by 'homosexuality between husband and wife'. Yoon Hae-young, who plays Jang Se-mi, the first daughter-in-law of Baek Do-i (played by Choi Myung-gil), introduced her role as "an icon of turmoil that shocks and confuses everyone."

Kim Min-jun plays the role of Dan Chi-gam, the second son of Baek Do-i, but heir to the Dan family and the ability to lead the group. Jeon No-min appears as Dan Chi-kang, the first son of Baek Do-i, who has a gentle and benevolent expression to anyone, and the director of an obstetrics and gynecology hospital.

Jeon No-min said, "There is an expectation that I will be able to make up for it this time after leaving a bad image in the previous work. On the contrary, there was also a fear that I would not be able to get out if I was cursed at again." I felt the same way," he said confidently.

Ji Young-san plays the role of Dan Chi-jeong, the youngest son of Baek Do-i, who is sweet and full of talent, Yoo Jeong-hu plays Dan Deung-myeong, the son of Dan Chi-kang and Jang Se-mi, and a famous actor. will act in reverse.

Lee Da-yeon, who mainly worked as a child actor, said, "I still can't believe that I was given the lead role. I acknowledged that I might be lacking and started filming while reflecting on my resolve to move forward."

'Missy Durian' will be broadcast for the first time on the 24th at 9:10 PM KST.
