Choi Soo-young transforms into Han Geum-joo, a social life master mechanic who is serious about both work and alcohol.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Please Help Me Stay Sober’ (written by Myung Soo-hyun, Jeon Ji-hyun / directed by Jang Yu-jung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by How Pictures) has revealed Han Geum-joo's daily on-and-off life, hinting at her unexpected charm and raising anticipation.
‘Please Help Me Stay Sober’ is a sober romance drama about a woman who considers herself a very reasonable drinker, who, upon reuniting with her first love who hates alcohol, challenges herself to her first-ever sobriety.
In the drama, Choi Soo-young plays Han Geum-joo, a 10-year veteran mechanic working for the country's top automobile company. Han Geum-joo is a skilled worker who can fix any breakdown with just a wrench, and after work, she is a true drinker who never misses a drinking session. She excels at both her job and drinking, making her truly deserving of the title of social life master.
The released photos showcase Han Geum-joo's on-and-off charm, revealing her professional mechanic side and her real-life drinking habits. Her sharp gaze focused on a vehicle diagnostic tool, along with her hair tied back roughly and her work uniform tightly fastened, exudes the aura of a 10-year veteran.
Additionally, Han Geum-joo's rich daily life, which includes a cup of instant noodles paired with a bottle of soju, catches the eye. Her seemingly indifferent yet calm expression suggests that alcohol is a familiar pause and a close friend that has naturally seeped into her daily life. A drink feels like a habit and a joy for Geum-joo, and without it, she might feel a sense of emptiness.
However, signs of change begin to emerge for Han Geum-joo. The sincere persuasion from her first love, Seo Ui-joon (played by Gong Myung), to stay sober, along with unexpected events, makes her pause in front of the word ‘sober’ for the first time. This raises curiosity about what kind of turning point Han Geum-joo's first challenge to sobriety will create in her life, which is the complete opposite of her name.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Please Help Me Stay Sober’, depicting Choi Soo-young's first challenge to sobriety, will premiere on Monday, May 12, at 8:50 PM.
