Gong Hyo-jin's comeback following the momentum of 'Agent Kim Reactivated' with 23% viewership ratings

While the SBS drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated' is on a path to success, surpassing a 23% viewership rating, the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' will premiere on the 31st. 'Married Woman Killer' is based on the popular Kakao Webtoon that recorded 170 million cumulative views.

Produced by Fantagio, SBS 'Agent Kim Reactivated' broke its own record in the 8th episode aired on the 18th, recording a nationwide viewership rating of 23.1%, 23.6% in the metropolitan area, and a peak instantaneous rating of 26.2%. These figures surpass the ratings of the same episodes of previous hits such as 'Stove League', 'Penthouse 2', and 'Taxi Driver 2'. Based on this achievement, Fantagio will strengthen its own intellectual property (IP) business competitiveness.

Gong Hyo-jin transforms into a sniper, playing a working mom killer from the 170 million view webtoon

The MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' is an adaptation of the webtoon of the same name by YOON and Geomdung. It tells the story of a working mom with the most brutal job in the world trying to maintain her work-life balance. Ahead of its premiere on Friday, the 31st at 9:50 PM, the work announced the start of a full-scale chase through recent character posters.

The poster captures the confrontation between three individuals surrounding the veiled entity 'Kingfisher'. Actress Gong Hyo-jin has been cast as Yoo Bo-na, who sends a chilling gaze while holding a sniper rifle. Gong Hyo-jin has previously appeared in works that exceeded a 20% viewership rating, such as KBS2 'When the Camellia Blooms', SBS 'The Master's Sun', and MBC 'Pasta'.

In this work, Gong Hyo-jin plays Yoo Bo-na, a one-shot, one-kill sniper who subdues criminals with a single shot. Choosing to return to her profession to protect her precious family, Yoo Bo-na will showcase action different from her previous works.

Confrontation between a reporter and a detective, a clash of beliefs unfolding on a rooftop

The narratives of the characters chasing Yoo Bo-na also continue. Tae-Sung Kwon (played by Jung Jun-won), a passionate social affairs reporter who carries memories of the past and chases the traces of Kingfisher again, appears. Joining him is Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang-yi), a detective who tracks Kingfisher by choosing the judgment of the law rather than private sanctions, leading to a confrontation.

The core of the drama lies in the beliefs of the three individuals: a killer who punishes criminals, a reporter chasing the truth, and a detective who must catch the culprit within the boundaries of the law, each trying to realize justice in their own way. The production team stated, "We plan to complete an unpredictable development where the contrast between the three characters with different beliefs and their respective narratives are depicted with balance in the single space of a rooftop." MBC 'Married Woman Killer' will premiere on the 31st at 9:50 PM.
