While JTBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Youngest Son of a Chaebol Family' ended hotly and loudly with the highest viewership rating of 26%, new weekend dramas scheduled to start in 2023 are coming out in various genres and lineups, aiming for the empty throne . As actresses from Jeon Do-yeon to Lee Bo-young and Moon Chae-won are expected to clash, attention is focused on who will be the winner of this year's first weekend drama.

The first to be shown is SBS' new Friday-Saturday drama 'Law' and 'Jjon', which is a thrilling revenge story between 'money merchant' Eun-yong (played by Lee Sun-gyun) and 'legal technician' Jun- kyung (Moon Chae-won) who fought against the cartel of 'Law' and 'Jjen'.

Moon Chae-won plays the role of Park Joon-kyung, a former prosecutor who took an elite course and became a judicial officer and army major. He was a prosecutor who was more upright and just than anyone else, but when his mother became a victim of a cartel colluding with 'Law' and 'Zhen', he began a desperate revenge at the cost of everything he had.

Through this work, Moon Chae-won returns to the small screen three years after 'Flower of Evil'. In addition, the combination of writer Kim Won-seok, who wrote the dramas 'The Queen's Classroom' and 'Descendants of the Sun', and talented actors such as Lee Sun-gyun and Park Hoon, completed a lineup that can be trusted. Moon Chae-won, who has attracted attention with her cheek-slumping visuals since 'Flower of Evil', is raising curiosity about the character she will portray with her slimmer face and angled uniform in this work.

The follow-up to 'The youngest son of a chaebol family' is 'Agency'. In 'Agency', depicting a desperate battle drama between advertising people, Go Ah-in (played by Lee Bo-young), who became the group's first female executive, and builds her career from first to the top, Lee Bo-young joins the company as a copywriter and breaks the glass ceiling. She plays the role of the first female executive in the group. Even though she is a 'face madam' with a one-year lifespan, expectations are high for Lee Bo-young's venomous acting transformation as she races towards success as a charismatic figure who predicts that she will "kick away the wind and rain."

Lee Bo-young's various office looks are also one of the highlights. The bold styling, from red velvet and leather jackets to all-white looks, and the short hair style add an elegant charisma.

The final runner is Jeon Do-yeon, who returns to a romantic comedy after 17 years. tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'One-hit Scandal', starring Jeon Do-yeon and Jung Kyung-ho, depicts the bittersweet romance between the passionate owner of a national side dish store and a Korean math instructor who unfolds in the battlefield of private education . In the play, Jeon Do-yeon plays the role of Nam Haeng-seon, a former national handball team player who currently runs a side dish store, and has a romantic relationship with Jeong Kyeong-ho, who plays the role of a one- hit instructor.

The actual age difference between Jeon Do-yeon and Jung Kyung-ho is 10 years. Jeon Do-yeon, who worked with Ryu Jun-yeol, who is 13 years younger than her in the previous film 'No Longer Human', is raising even more expectations as she plans to have proper romantic comedy chemistry with Jung Kyung-ho, who is 10 years younger than her this time. Also, attention is focused on Jeon Do-yeon's 'passionate mom' character, who will play the mother of an 18-year-old daughter.

Among the three works with different charms, we are looking forward to who will be the winner of the new weekend drama and what kind of synergistic results the transformation and passionate performances of the three actresses will bring.
