Gong Hyo-jin's return after 15 years features the bold premise of 'Married Woman Killer'

Actress Gong Hyo-jin is set to return to the small screen with a groundbreaking new character. Based on a mega-hit webtoon of the same name, the drama will see her portraying a character leading a double life as an ordinary working mother and a legendary killer. The project is already generating significant anticipation due to the collaboration between director Yoon Jong-ho, who directed Lovely Runner, and Gong Hyo-jin.

The Return of the Legendary Killer 'Kingfisher' and Her Double Life

In the series, Gong Hyo-jin plays Yu Bo-na, a legendary killer who had previously vanished from the scene. Known as 'Kingfisher,' she enjoys widespread public support for taking down villains with single, decisive strikes; however, in her daily life, she is a typical housewife and working mom devoted to her family. Yu Bo-na operates under the conviction of delivering harsh punishment to those who treat crime lightly and disregard the law. The drama promises to be highly engaging as it explores the stark contrast between her cold-blooded persona as a killer and her everyday life as a mother, sometimes even using overtime work as an excuse to indulge in her nocturnal activities.

A Husband Chasing Justice and a Detective Chasing a Killer

Yu Bo-na's husband, Kwon Tae-sung, is a relentless social affairs reporter driven by a dream of a just world. While he is a devoted family man who lives for his wife and daughter, his world is thrown into chaos by the emergence of Kingfisher, who is both his subject of interest and a source of terror. The series anticipates a tense confrontation between the husband, who is curious about Kingfisher's identity, and Lee Dong-jin, an ace detective in the violent crimes unit who is determined to catch Kingfisher, viewing her vigilante justice as criminal. The core tension lies in whether the husband will discover Kingfisher's true identity and what incidents will unfold during the detective's pursuit of the killer.

'Sales Team 3,' the group Yu Bo-na belongs to, appears to be an ordinary company on the surface, but is actually an "assassin Avengers" squad that carries out missions disguised as accidental deaths. Led by team leader Kim Bong, the group consists of specialists in various fields, including high-tech equipment, genius hacking, and document forgery, to execute flawless operations. Their perilous double lives and the heavy message of vigilante justice are expected to provide viewers with a sense of catharsis.
