In the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Delightfully Deceitful, Chun Woo Hee coolly portrays the 'delightfully deceitful' Lee Ro Um, who takes on an unfair world and delivers thrilling satisfaction, captivating the audience with her 'cider charm' on the small screen.

In the drama, Lee Ro Um is a character who prioritizes efficiency over empathy, herself over others, and is willing to utilize minor illegal actions such as 'deception' to achieve her goals. She understands 'revenge' as her form of justice and even finds herself confronting Han Moo Young (played by Kim Dong Wook), who suffers from hyper-empathy while dealing with various incidents.

Lee Ro Um steals strangers' phones without hesitation and occasionally disguises herself as a renowned child psychology counselor named Courtney Kwon to carry out scams. However, those who observe her actions cheer her on. The targets of her scams are criminals involved in the production and distribution of illegal videos or various forms of crime, such as illegal voice phishing organizations, who escape the reach of the law through unethical means.

Although she appears indifferent and unresponsive, seemingly observing the situation with an apathetic face, Lee Ro Um instantly transforms into a different person when she intervenes in a case, showcasing Chun Woo Hee's versatile acting skills and adding richness to her portrayal of various facets.

Chun Woo Hee's exceptional ability to balance her performance, neither too light nor too heavy, further enhances the credibility of Iro-woom's actions as she navigates the boundaries between legality and illegality, upholding her sense of justice.

As a series of diverse incidents unfold, the allure of Cheon Woo Hee, who transforms into the 'dark hero' Lee Ro Um, and her captivating cider antics intensify the expectations for the upcoming developments, quickly mesmerizing viewers.

Meanwhile, Delightfully Deceitful airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM KST.
