Myung Se-bin steps out of her husband's shadow and stands tall as her true self.
In the new JTBC weekend drama 'Mr. Kim's Story' (written by Kim Hong-ki and Yoon Hye-sung, directed by Jo Hyun-tak), which will premiere on October 25 at 10:40 PM, Myung Se-bin plays the role of Park Ha-jin, the wife of Kim Nak-soo (played by Ryu Seung-ryong), depicting a poignant growth story in middle age.
Park Ha-jin, a 25-year veteran housewife, manages her household while taking care of her husband who works at a large corporation and her son who attends a prestigious university. With a solid character that knows how to be grateful for what she has, she prioritizes her family's stability and happiness, providing unwavering support to her husband.
However, as time goes by, the world that Park Ha-jin and her family face changes. Observing her husband, who is exhausted from work, and her son's changed gaze towards him, Park Ha-jin ultimately decides to strengthen her own abilities for the sake of her family and begins to prepare to jump into the front lines of livelihood. Thus, her growth as a human 'Park Ha-jin' is highly anticipated.
In the released photos, Park Ha-jin is seen shaping her family's future on her own. Among them, there is a scene where Park Ha-jin, with her hands clasped and a desperate expression, is surrounded by various texts that stimulate the viewer's interest, resembling a magazine cover. In particular, the topic 'Wife’s Hot Topic – Is it okay for my husband to be nearing retirement?' captures attention as it resonates with Park Ha-jin's current situation.
Following this, we can also catch a glimpse of Park Ha-jin's daily life as she sees off her husband and son, who leave for work and school, and then takes time for self-development. Curiosity grows about what results will come from Park Ha-jin's determination to find her own path, clenching her fists and igniting her will to break free from being just a housewife.
Attention is also focused on Myung Se-bin's transformation as she naturally blends into the role of Park Ha-jin, a housewife who jumps into the front lines of livelihood. Having earned the trust of viewers with her deep acting and delicate emotional expressions, her performance through the character of Park Ha-jin is eagerly awaited to convey empathy and comfort.
