This new Friday-Saturday drama depicts the psychological conflict experienced by the country’s top profiler and his daughter as they unravel the secrets behind a murder case they are investigating. The drama has garnered attention for its bold casting, including Han Suk-kyu, making a comeback to MBC dramas after almost 30 years, and newcomer Chae Won-bin.
One of the central characters, Oh Yeon-soo, will play the role of Yoon Ji-soo, the ex-wife of Jang Tae-soo (played by Han Suk-kyu) and mother of Jang Ha-bin (played by Chae Won-bin), elevating the mysterious atmosphere of the drama. Oh Yeon-soo has showcased a wide spectrum of acting through various works such as “Snowman,” “Jumong,” “Bad Guy,” “IRIS 2,” “Triangle,” “Criminal Minds,” and has recently shown intense charisma in “Military Prosecutor Doberman.” Her performance in “Such a Close Betrayer” is already highly anticipated.
The reunion of Han Suk-kyu and Oh Yeon-soo, who last worked together in the 1993 MBC drama “Sons and Daughters” roughly 31 years ago, has also drawn significant attention. The drama’s production team has expressed that the reunion of these two actors alone is generating considerable excitement, and there is keen interest in what unique energy this meeting will bring to the project.
“Such a Close Betrayer” is written by Han A-young, whose script won the absolute support of the judges in the MBC Drama Script Contest, and directed by Song Yeon-hwa, who has proven her directing skills through “Boar Hunt.” With the broadcast scheduled for the second half of the year, the drama is already receiving much anticipation from drama fans.
The reunion of Han Suk-kyu and Oh Yeon-soo, along with the promising appearance of newcomer Chae Won-bin, ensures that “Such a Close Betrayer” is expected to be more than just a simple thriller. It promises to be a work of psychological depth and humanity that many are curious to see what new stories and emotions it will bring to the audience.
