'Family' side "Kim Nam-hee will be a hidden card with a powerful voice"

Kim Nam-hee of tvN's 'Family' proved her presence with just her voice appearance in the trailer, raising expectations by foreshadowing her appearance as a hidden card that holds the key to a twist.

tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Family' (directed by Jang Jeong-do, written by Lee Jeong-mook, and written by Jeong Yu-seon) is a thrilling family-fighting espionage comedy about a husband who is 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. It is capturing attention by freely switching between pleasant comedy, sweet romance, and tense espionage action.

In the last broadcast, the twist that Jang Na-ra (played by Kang Yu-ra) was a killer was revealed, shocking the home theater. Jang Na-ra, who was thought to be an ordinary housewife, looked like a cool killer herself, sniping at her target with a loaded rifle in a skillful stance. At the same time, what stimulated viewers' curiosity was Kim Nam-hee's first appearance. In the trailer for episode 5, Kim Nam-hee made a strong impact by foreshadowing her appearance as the person who holds the secret to Jang Na-ra's killer's identity, saying, "I'm sure you haven't forgotten me, Kang Yu-ra." His soft voice proved his extraordinary presence with just his voice, raising endless expectations for his full-fledged appearance.

In the play, Kim Nam-hee plays the role of Jo Tae-gu, a suspicious uninvited guest who visits Kang Yu-ra. Jo Tae-gu is said to be a person who comes to shake up the life of Kang Yu-ra, a special person who was like a ray of light to him in the past, raising curiosity.

In particular, at the previous production presentation, Kim Nam-hee said, “If I were to put it in one word, I would be an ‘uninvited guest.’ As a result, the play faces new events. It is directly related to Yura. Maybe their relationship is deeper than that with her husband Do-hoon (played by Jang Hyuk). “I think Tae-gu is Yu-ra’s biggest secret and someone Yu-ra wants to hide,” he said, heightening curiosity about Tae-gu’s identity and relationship with Yu-ra. Furthermore, Kim Nam-hee said, “The character Tae-gu itself has a big twist and unexpectedness. Taegu wants to be cool, but the circumstances around him don't make it so. The biggest twist is Yura's daughter Kwon Min-seo (played by Shin Soo-ah)," he said meaningfully, raising expectations further as it is predicted that he will become entangled with Kwon's family.

Accordingly, the production team of ‘Family’ said, “With Kim Nam-hee’s appearance, the plot will unfold even more excitingly. Furthermore, Kim Nam-hee will become a person who shakes up not only the 'Jangjang Couple' Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-ra, but also the daily lives of the Kwon family. Interest is further amplified by saying, “Please look forward to the performance as a hidden card that goes beyond the strong presence of the voice in the trailer.”
