In the upcoming MBC daily drama 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' (태양을 삼킨 여자), set to premiere in June, actor Seo Ha-jun takes on the role of Moon Tae-kyung, a man determined to reclaim his lost past through revenge. The series, written by Seol Kyung-eun and directed by Kim Jin-hyung, portrays a world where victims become perpetrators, focusing on a woman's fierce quest for vengeance against a conglomerate in the name of her only daughter. With a gripping narrative that promises to deliver a message of karma, the drama aims to evoke empathy, excitement, and emotional depth, featuring a talented cast including Jang Sin-young, Seo Ha-jun, Yoon Ah-jung, and Oh Chang-seok.
Recently released stills of Seo Ha-jun as Moon Tae-kyung have captured attention, showcasing his intense commitment to the character. Moon Tae-kyung, who lost his parents in a mysterious accident and was adopted in the U.S., returns to Korea after 25 years, meticulously planning his revenge to reclaim what was taken from him. The stills reveal Seo Ha-jun's transformation into the character, with a piercing gaze and a strong presence that heightens anticipation for the drama.
In one still, dressed in a light-colored suit and staring directly ahead, Moon Tae-kyung's unwavering determination to confront his reality is palpable. Another still highlights his authoritative demeanor as the head of a new business division at the top-tier Min-gang Distribution, confidently addressing an audience while holding a microphone, suggesting his relentless pursuit of his goals. His focused expression reflects the cold calculation and charisma of a man plotting his revenge.
A final still presents a more somber atmosphere, depicting Seo Ha-jun in a dark setting, seemingly lost in thought. This image conveys the complex inner turmoil of Moon Tae-kyung, burdened by past traumas and the weight of his quest for vengeance. The sadness, loneliness, and obsession for revenge in his eyes amplify curiosity about the unpredictable narrative that lies ahead.
The production team stated, "Seo Ha-jun has meticulously prepared for the character of Moon Tae-kyung, focusing not only on his external appearance but also on his internal depth. He will navigate the intricate emotions and explosive charisma of the character, delivering a rich portrayal of Moon Tae-kyung's complex story. Viewers can look forward to how he will confront powerful adversaries and the coexistence of coldness and rage in his narrative." 'The Woman Who Swallowed the Sun' is set to air in early June as a follow-up to 'Kind Lady' (친절한 선주씨).
