Actress Gong Hyo-jin's double life has been captured.

On the 23rd, the production team of MBC's upcoming new Friday-Saturday drama 'Wife Killer' (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, scripted by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hoon, produced by Bon Factory, Barum Pictures, and Studio Pim) released stills of Gong Hyo-jin. 'Wife Killer' is a drama depicting the struggles of a working mother with the most ruthless profession in the world as she fights to maintain her work-life balance.

Gong Hyo-jin returns to the small screen as Yoo Bo-na, the deputy manager of the Crane Electronics Sales Team 3 and the legendary sniper known as Kingfisher. Bo-na is an ordinary married woman who also serves as a killer eliminating heinous criminals overlooked by the law. After completing three years of maternity leave, she makes a glamorous return to her professional career.

Returning to MBC for the first time in 15 years since 'Best Love' achieved a peak viewership rating of 21%, Gong Hyo-jin is expected to prove her reputation as the undisputed 'box office queen'. She portrays Bo-na's double life as she struggles to balance family and work.

The released stills capture Bo-na's contrasting daily life spanning both day and night. In images where she aims a sniper rifle with sharp eyes, the killer's charisma of eliminating targets with a single shot radiates. Scenes of her lost in deep thought at her office exude the aura of a top performer in Sales Team 3.

In front of her family, Bo-na sheds her cold killer persona, showcasing the inherent charm of Gong Hyo-jin herself—approachable and deeply realistic. While she rushes between work and home, attending to various matters, she offers an unguarded smile in front of her daughter and husband, resolving the practical hardships and bittersweet situations of being a housewife in her own unique way.

The production team of 'Wife Killer' stated, "Gong Hyo-jin vividly portrays the extreme temperature difference between a housewife with deeply realistic struggles and a killer who instills fear in criminals, perfectly leading the set. We invite viewers to enjoy the thrilling double life of Gong Hyo-jin, where ruthlessness and warmth coexist."

Meanwhile, 'Wife Killer' will premiere on July 31 at 9:50 PM.
