“‘Without blood and tears’, it is different from the provocative KBS daily dramas”

[Seoul = Newsis] Reporter Chu Seung-hyeon = ‘Without Blood and Tears’ shows a new texture in KBS 2TV’s daily dramas.

Lee So-yeon appeared in ‘Without Blood and Tears’ held on the 22nd. At the online production press conference, “There are characters with a sense of humor and elements of tension such as revenge, but there is also warmth such as love for family. “She was confident that viewers would be able to watch it comfortably,” she said.

This work is a tragic story of sisters who were separated when their parents divorced when they were young, and meet again as daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in a whirlwind of fate. It shows human desires and revenge in the irony of fate.

Director Kim Shin-il emphasized empathy. “Our country has the 3rd highest divorce rate in the world and 1st place in Asia. “This drama begins with the story of two sisters whose parents divorced for economic reasons, with the younger daughter following her mother and the older daughter following her father,” he said. “Divorce is a common emotion experienced in our society. “Although the main theme is conflict and struggle, it can easily become dark, so I tried not to lose sight of the family love that all viewers can relate to,” he said.

He said, “One of writer Kim Kyung-hee’s special strengths is that she is good at comics. “She brings out the comical character well,” she said, emphasizing, “It’s called a revenge drama, but she’s a comprehensive gift set.”

So-yeon Lee plays Hye-won Lee, who grew up to be a successful person who never loses perfection despite being abused by her stepmother. As she is about to marry Yoon Ji-chang (Jang Se-hyeon), whom she met after a difficult time, she learns that the woman who took her mother-in-law’s place is her biological sister, Lee Hye-ji (Ha Yeon-joo), from whom she was separated when she was young.

Lee So-yeon showed the peak of her revenge story in 2021 with ‘Miss Monte Cristo’ “The two works may be similar in the keyword revenge, but they are dramas with a completely different feel. “Before, she was a strong and venomous woman, but this time, we see how a woman who is perfect in everything copes with conflict,” he emphasized.

Lee Hye-ji is played by actress Ha Yeon-ju. She has a victim mentality that her unfortunate reality is caused by others. She maintains an internal relationship with YJ group Yoon Yi-cheol (Jeong Chan), and then gets a chance to return to her favor, welcoming her older sister, from whom she broke up 20 years ago, as her daughter-in-law. She does whatever it takes to get through this situation.

Ha Yeon-joo said, “She is not a stereotypical villain. “You will be able to sympathize with him as his inner stories and history accumulate,” he said. “Even though he is a villain, there are some interesting elements. He explained, “It’s a cute and attractive character in some ways.”

Baek Seong-yoon, played by Oh Chang-seok, looks like an unemployed person with a dirt spoon, but he is a perfect man with a diamond spoon. Baek Seong-yoon, whose family has been a lawyer for generations, is a just person who runs a law office and helps people in need. He forms chemistry with Lee Hye-won.

Oh Chang-seok expressed difficulty in expressing the complex Baek Seong-yoon character. “Usually when I go into a drama, I make a plan or think about the image of the character, but Baek Seong-yoon doesn’t plan well. “I’m developing the character while filming,” he said. “I’m having fun with it because it’s a character worth studying.” “I would like you to focus on those points,” she said.

The actors agreed that ‘Without Blood and Tears’ has a different style from the existing KBS 2TV daily dramas. Oh Chang-seok said, “KBS daily dramas have always been strong and stimulating. “It caught the attention of many people, but there must have been some fatigue,” he said. “This work is a little brighter and more cheerful, so it feels like a weekend drama.” “Nevertheless, I felt from the script that a strong scene was possible.” First broadcast at 7:50 PM on this day.
