MBN Returns with Political Drama 'First Lady' After Three Years

MBN is set to premiere its new drama 'First Lady' after a three-year hiatus since 'Sponsor.' Director Lee Ho-hyun candidly shared, "It would be a lie to say there was no pressure," with a smile.

On the 24th, a press conference for MBN's Wednesday-Thursday miniseries 'First Lady' was held at The Link Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by actors Ji Hyun-woo, Eugene, Lee Min-young, and director Lee Ho-hyun.

'First Lady' is a drama that unfolds the unprecedented event of a husband, elected as President, demanding a divorce from his wife, who is set to become the First Lady. The series captures the intense conflict between the President-elect couple and the political conspiracies and family secrets that emerge during the 67 days leading up to the presidential inauguration.

Director Lee Ho-hyun expressed his thoughts on directing 'First Lady,' MBN's first drama in three years, saying, "It would be a lie to say there was no pressure. I'm very nervous about the premiere tonight."

He added, "When I first received the script, I found it interesting, and I was confident that if I found it enjoyable, the audience would too. As filming progressed, the chemistry with the actors improved, which was great. I believed that if the story was engaging and the actors' chemistry was good, it would do well."

Director Lee also highlighted, "The strength of our drama is the diverse cast of actors. I recommend following each character and immersing yourself in the drama. As you do, you'll become curious about the next story, and the truth will be revealed one by one."

'First Lady' premieres tonight at 10:20 PM.
