Jang Hyuk, Jang Na-ra, 'Family' first broadcast in April
tvN's new drama 'Family' (directed by Jang Jeong-do, Lee Jeong-mook/written by Jeong Yu-seon/produced by Studio Dragon, imtv), scheduled to be broadcast in April, is about the dangerous family of 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. Shooter spy comedy. CP Jang Jeong-do, who oversaw many hit works such as the dramas 'Live', 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim', 'The Man Who Became King', 'Our Blues', and 'Ecstasy', is in charge of directing, and the box-office hit 'Golden Combination' is directed. This is Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara's fourth work together in 9 years, and expectations are high.
Jang Hyuk plays the role of Kwon Do-hoon, a black agent of the National Intelligence Service who disguises his identity as an employee of a trading company and the husband of Kang Yu-ra (played by Jang Na-ra). Kwon Do-hoon is a veteran sniper who is quick, accurate, and clean with one shot, one kill. He is a busy husband who neglects his family, but loves his wife Kang Yu-ra more than anyone else. Jang Hyuk, who has captivated the public with his strong charisma and sincere acting in each of his works including the dramas 'Voice Season 1', 'Money Flower', 'My Country', 'Tell Me What You Saw', and 'Red Single Heart', plays a cool-headed black agent and a lover. Attention is focused on the performance she will show while going back and forth with her husband.
Jang Nara played the role of Kang Yu-ra, the wife of Kwon Do-hoon (Jang Hyuk), a 9th dan housekeeper. Kang Yoo-ra is a housekeeper who works hard to protect her family after meeting her husband Kwon Do-hoon and building the perfect family she had dreamed of her whole life. She is a person who hides a secret behind her lovely appearance. Expectations are rising for the acting that Jang Na-ra, who has built her own character with unrivaled charm and relatable acting skills through dramas such as 'Confession Couple', 'The Last Empress', 'VIP', and 'Daebak Real Estate', will show.
Above all, it is the fourth work of Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-ra, two actors who hit the 'jackpot' when they meet, raising the expectation index vertically. Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-ra are a golden combination with a box office hit rate of 200%, having already proven their chemistry through three works, from 'The Success Story of a Cheerful Girl' to 'I Love You Like Fate' and '2014 Drama Festival - Old Goodbye'. Accordingly, expectations are growing on what kind of lifelong chemistry Jang Hyuk and Jang Na-ra, who reunited in 'Family' after 9 years, will captivate the small screen, and the brilliant synergy that will once again hit the box office jackpot.
Meanwhile, Chae Jeong-an takes on the role of Oh Cheon-ryeon, Kwon Do-hoon's assassin and a professional NIS operative. Oh Cheon-ryeon appears to others to be enjoying a glamorous solo life, but in reality, she is a lonely woman who is hungry for people. Unlike himself, who has been divorced three times, Kwon Do-hoon wants to protect his family until the end, so he helps him both materially and spiritually. Chae Jeong-an, who showed off her extraordinary presence with her girl-crush charm and stable acting skills in dramas such as 'Suits', 'Legal High', 'Monthly House', and 'The King of Pigs', is attracting attention to the acting and charm she will show as Oh Cheon-ryeon. Furthermore, interest is also focused on the chemistry that Chae Jeong-an will show with Jang Hyuk in the play.
In addition, Kim Nam-hee played the role of Tae-gu, a suspicious uninvited guest who visited Kwon Do-hoon and Kang Yu-ra's family. Tae-gu is an extremely impulsive person when it comes to proving himself and the pleasure of the moment, and 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. In particular, Kim Nam-hee left a strong impression on viewers' minds through dramas such as 'Mr. Sunshine', 'Sweet Home', and 'High Class', and played the role of Jin Seong-jun, the eldest grandson of Sunyang Group, a wealthy man, in the previous work 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family'. It has established itself as an irreplaceable scene stealer. Expectations are rising as to what kind of impact Kim Nam-hee will make through 'Family'.
The tvN ‘Family’ production team said, “Jang Hyuk, Jang Na-ra, Chae Jeong-an, and Kim Nam-hee have been confirmed as the main roles. It is expected that the meeting of actors with solid acting skills, outstanding character digestion skills, and various charms will create explosive synergy. “This coming April, we will be back with a work filled with exciting fun and pleasant laughter, so please look forward to it and show your interest.”
Meanwhile, tvN's new drama 'Family' is scheduled to premiere in April.
