Actor Gong Hyo-jin is set to shock viewers with a twist-filled double life in her next project.
On the 23rd, the production team of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama Married Woman Killer unveiled stills featuring Gong Hyo-jin's character, Yoo Bo-na.
The stills capture Yoo Bo-na's polar-opposite days and nights. In one shot, her razor-sharp gaze locks onto a target as she aims a sniper rifle, oozing the charisma of a killer who can take down a mark with a single bullet. In stark contrast, she radiates top-performer confidence at the office, showing a thoroughly professional side.
Gong Hyo-jin returns to the small screen as Yoo Bo-na, the head of Sales Team 3 at Durumi Electronics and the legendary sniper known as "Kingfisher." A seemingly ordinary married woman by day and a killer who eliminates heinous criminals who slip through the cracks of the law by night, Yoo Bo-na makes a glamorous comeback to work after three years of maternity leave.
Netizens reacted, saying, "This is a side of Gong Hyo-jin we've never seen" and "A killer role? That's a refreshing twist," praising her bold acting transformation.
Based on the webtoon of the same name, Married Woman Killer follows a working mom with the world's most lethal side job as she fiercely protects her work-life balance. The drama premieres July 31 and will also be available to stream on Wavve.
