‘Mary Kills People’ stars Lee Bo-young, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Ki-young have unveiled a stunning photo shoot for ‘Cine21’ that radiates overwhelming aura.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Mary Kills People’ (written by Lee Soo-ah, directed by Park Jun-woo), which will premiere on August 1 at 10 PM, is a suspense drama that tells the story of a doctor who assists terminally ill patients in dying and a detective who tracks them down.
In relation to this, the main characters of ‘Mary Kills People’, Lee Bo-young, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Ki-young, have revealed a ‘Cine21’ photo shoot that expresses the heavy themes of life and death with elegance. The three actors captured the deep emotional lines and irreplaceable acting chemistry of characters standing on the boundary between life and death through a striking contrast of black and white, completing the unique mood of ‘Mary Kills People’.
First, the cover photo of ‘Cine21’ features a triangular composition that visualizes the complex emotional lines and intertwined relationships of Lee Bo-young, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Ki-young. Standing tall at the center, Lee Bo-young draws attention with her expression that embodies the strong beliefs and will of her character, Woo So-jung, an emergency medicine doctor who assists in dying. Dressed in a white setup with slicked-back hair and red lips, Lee Bo-young vividly portrays Woo So-jung's determination as she grapples with the pain of patients suffering from indescribable agony.
Lee Min-ki, exuding his unique charm in a beige jacket and pants, captures the wavering emotions of Jo Hyun-woo, a terminal cancer patient for whom no treatment is effective, with his gaze. He fully reveals the desperation and despair of Jo Hyun-woo, who is faced with the choice of death, standing between life and death. Kang Ki-young expresses his stance on assisted dying with a soft and restrained expression. Dressed in a neat white suit, Kang Ki-young embodies the quiet determination of his character, Cha Ki-hyun, who supports Woo So-jung.
Additionally, in a photo where Lee Bo-young, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Ki-young stand side by side, the intersecting gazes of the three leave a strong impression. Lee Bo-young and Kang Ki-young, unified in white tones, represent the solid teamwork of the two characters performing assisted dying with their intense gazes. In contrast, Lee Min-ki, dressed in beige tones, adds a subtle tension towards Woo So-jung by staring intently at Lee Bo-young.
Finally, in a photo utilizing a table as an object, Lee Bo-young, Lee Min-ki, and Kang Ki-young highlight the charm of ‘Mary Kills People’ with poses and styling that maximize their individual personalities. With her long hair flowing naturally, Lee Bo-young exudes quiet charisma, while Lee Min-ki adds weight with navy and white colors. Kang Ki-young creates a sophisticated atmosphere in a double-button white jacket paired with a blue-toned shirt. The stillness and subtle tension enveloping the three reflect the essence of ‘Mary Kills People’, which deals with life and death.
