Tension Rises for Ha Jung-woo in New Drama 'How to Become a Building Owner in Korea'

The pressure is on for Ha Jung-woo, the building owner.

On the 14th, tvN's new weekend drama 'How to Become a Building Owner in Korea' (hereafter 'Building Owner') will premiere, featuring the intriguing first encounter between 'all-in' building owner Ki Soo-jong (played by Ha Jung-woo) and Yona (played by Shim Eun-kyung), an operative from Real Capital who has her eyes on his property.

'Building Owner' is a suspenseful drama about a debt-ridden building owner who gets involved in a fake kidnapping scheme to protect his family and his precious building. The show promises to captivate viewers with its unpredictable plot from the very first episode.

The stills reveal Ki Soo-jong's predicament as his lifeline, the Seyoon Building, is at risk. He is visibly shocked by Yona's sudden appearance and her threats to take over the building. His desperation is evident as he tries to explain his situation.

Unfazed, Yona remains expressionless and focused on her task. Her innocent yet chilling gaze at the desperate Ki Soo-jong adds to the tension. Standing like a shadow behind Yona is the undertaker (played by Lee Shin-ki), whose menacing aura startles Ki Soo-jong.

Sensing the gravity of the situation, Ki Soo-jong scrambles to protect his building. The eerie and bizarre encounter with Yona raises curiosity about the repercussions it will have on him. The unexpected consequences of his 'all-in' approach will be depicted with intense suspense, enhancing viewer engagement from the start.

The encounter that throws Ki Soo-jong into turmoil can be witnessed in the first episode of 'Building Owner,' airing on Saturday, the 14th, at 9:10 PM.
