Jeon Yeo-bin Transforms into a Kindergarten Teacher in 'Good Woman Boo Se-mi'

In the second episode of Genie TV's original series 'Good Woman Boo Se-mi,' released on October 30th, viewers were captivated by the fast-paced storyline. The episode showcased the journey of Kim Young-ran (played by Jeon Yeo-bin) as she enters Moochang Village under the alias Boo Se-mi after a contract marriage with Ga Sung-ho (played by Moon Sung-geun), the chairman of Ga Sung Group. The episode's ratings soared to 4% nationwide and 3.7% in the metropolitan area, according to Nielsen Korea.
Kim Young-ran initially rejected Ga Sung-ho's proposal for a contract marriage, which was intended to use her as bait for revenge against the siblings Ga Sun-young and Ga Sun-woo, who were responsible for her daughter's death. However, faced with financial difficulties, she eventually accepted the dangerous proposal.

Accepting all of Ga Sung-ho's conditions, Kim Young-ran, along with Ga Sung-ho and Lee Don (played by Seo Hyun-woo), devised a detailed revenge plan. Kim Young-ran needed to survive to attend the representative appointment meeting three months after Ga Sung-ho's death and vote to bring down Ga Sun-young and Ga Sun-woo. To ensure her safety, Ga Sung-ho and Lee Don decided to disguise her as kindergarten teacher Boo Se-mi and hide her in the remote Moochang Village.
As Ga Sung-ho's health deteriorated, he ordered euthanasia, but shocked everyone by taking his own life while Kim Young-ran was away. Kim Young-ran was left in disbelief at Ga Sung-ho's death, especially after Lee Don remarked, 'He must have believed you would succeed.'

Upon learning of this through her roommate Baek Hye-ji (played by Joo Hyun-young), Kim Young-ran informed lawyer Lee Don and decided to expedite her escape plan. With Lee Don's help, she transformed into the well-credentialed kindergarten teacher Boo Se-mi and arrived in the small rural Moochang Village.
As Kim Young-ran settled into her new identity as 'Teacher Boo Se-mi,' an unexpected variable emerged. Jeon Dong-min (played by Jin Young), a strawberry farmer who regularly supplied strawberries to the mansion and was acquainted with Kim Young-ran, came to greet her.
Facing the risk of her true identity being exposed before she could even begin her deception, Kim Young-ran cleverly introduced herself as 'Boo Se-mi' to navigate the situation. The audience is left wondering how Kim Young-ran will handle the obstacles in her double life.
