KBS's upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama The Matchmakers gave the viewers the first look at Cho Yi Hyun's transformation into Jung Soon Deok, the virtuoso of matchmaking.
The Matchmakers is a historical comedy-melodrama set in the Joseon era. It brings together a widow and widower who embark on the mission to wed the bachelors and spinsters of Joseon. The K-drama revolves around the struggles and adventures of these intermediaries.
Shim Jung Woo (Rowoon), the most angry man in Hanyang, and Jung Soon Deok, a widow living a double life, join forces to bring success to the wedding operation.
Above all, what makes The Matchmakers even more exciting is the exciting transformation of Cho Yi Hyun, who has demonstrated her versatility by effortlessly transitioning between genres in both dramas and films. The actress takes on the role of Jung Soon Deok, a widow of a noble family and the top matchmaker in Hanyang (Seoul). The K-drama marks a transformative phase in her career.
Officially, Jung Soon Deok is the second daughter-in-law of the first vice-premier, but unofficially, she is the top matchmaker in Hanyang, leading a double life.
Cho Yi Hyun's portrayal of Jung Soon Deok, arguably her most dynamic role to date, promises to showcase her limitless charm and talent.
To give a glimpse of Choi Hyun as Jung Soon Deok, the production team unveiled stills featuring the actress in the drama.
In these stills, Jung Soon Deok radiates an unparalleled presence among her fellow vendors with her vibrant attire and striking makeup.
What's more, Jung Soon Deok not only captivates with her dignified expressions but also with her self-assured demeanor. The intricate portrayal of her double life as a matchmaker while maintaining the image of a modest daughter-in-law is a captivating aspect to look forward to.
Cho Yi Hyun expressed her excitement, saying, "I am thrilled to be part of such a promising project. Please look forward to The Matchmakers and Jung Soon Deok".
