In the busy entertainment industry, today, with various works being introduced and new and returning artists appearing in front of the public, let’s take a look at today’s major schedules.

Uhm Jung-hwa makes a big screen comeback with ‘Beautiful Girlfriend’

Actress Uhm Jung-hwa’s big-screen comeback movie ‘Beautiful Girlfriend’ will hold a press/distribution preview this afternoon. Director Lee Seung-jun and actors Uhm Jeong-hwa, Song Sae-byeok, Bang Min-ah, Son Byeong-ho, Park Ho-san, and Kim Jae-hwa will attend and tell stories about the work.

‘Fancy Girl’ is a crime entertainment film in which Ji-hye (Uhm Jung-hwa), a professional strategist with brilliant skills, gets caught up in an unintended(?) incident while planning her final big move. Expectations are high as Uhm Jung-hwa of ‘Okay Madam’, ‘Miss Wife’, and ‘Dancing Queen’ and director Lee Seung-jun of ‘Spy’, which made 3.5 million viewers laugh, are together.

A ‘mother and daughter hero’ like no other in the world appears

JTBC’s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Strong Woman Gangnam Soon’ will hold a production presentation on the afternoon of the 5th. Director Kim Jeong-sik and actors Lee Yu-mi, Kim Jeong-eun, Kim Hae-sook, and Byun Woo-seok will attend this day.

‘Strong Woman Gangnam-soon’, which will be aired for the first time on the 7th, is a comical crime showdown in which a mother and daughter of three generations, who are naturally gifted with amazing strength, uncover the true nature of a new drug crime taking place around Gangnam.

The ‘Strong Woman’ series, which returns with an expanded worldview six years after ‘Strong Woman Do Bong-soon’, which opened a new horizon for ‘K-female hero dramas’, is a highly anticipated work that has garnered a lot of attention from the production stage. Writer Baek Mi-kyung, who created the first female hero in a Korean drama, and director Kim Jeong-sik of ‘Drinker City Women’ teamed up. The extraordinary synergy shown by the cast, including Lee Yu-mi, Kim Jong-eun, and Kim Hae-sook, as well as Ong Seong-woo, Byun Woo-seok, and Lee Seung-jun, who met as three ‘invincible’ mothers and daughters nowhere in the world, also stimulates anticipation.
