Yum Jung-ah Returns to TV as a Medical Celebrity in Thrilling New Drama 'Eye Shopping'

Actress Yum Jung-ah is making her return to the small screen as a medical celebrity, following the upgrade of her husband Heo Il's hospital to a general hospital last May.

Premiering on the 21st, ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Eye Shopping' is an action thriller that delves into the harrowing survival and revenge of children abandoned by their adoptive parents.

'Eye Shopping' promises a high-quality thriller with its provocative theme of 'buying and selling children,' combined with a fast-paced storyline and a powerful message. The drama features a stellar cast including Yum Jung-ah, Won Jin-ah, Choi Young-jun, and Kim Jin-young, whose strong performances are set to captivate audiences.

Recently released stills feature characters Kim Se-hee (played by Yum Jung-ah), Kim Ah-hyun (played by Won Jin-ah), Woo Tae-sik (played by Choi Young-jun), and the children.

In the stills, Se-hee makes a striking entrance with an enigmatic gaze. While she is publicly revered as a medical celebrity, she is secretly the head of an illegal adoption trafficking organization. Her cold and ruthless persona as a genetic dictator raises questions about her intentions with the children, heightening anticipation for the series.

The stills also show Tae-sik, the children's secret ally, training with the surviving children. Among them are Joo-an (played by Ahn Ji-ho), So-mi (played by Lee Na-eun), and Seok-soo (played by Oh Seung-jun), known as the 'returned children.' Tension escalates as Tae-sik is seen pointing a gun at Ah-hyun, the children's leader.

The reason behind Tae-sik's heightened vigilance for the children's safety is a focal point of interest, as is the story of why these children had to abandon a normal life and hide from society. The children's desperate struggle on the brink of life and death promises intense suspense. The adults' desire for the 'perfect child' introduces a strong sense of moral questioning from the start, drawing viewers into the narrative.

The production team stated, "'Eye Shopping' will captivate viewers from the first episode with its fast-paced plot, intense settings, and complex character conflicts. Watch to see how the fate of the abandoned children unfolds amidst the intersection of pain and hope."
