'Manager Kim' actress Son Na-eun shared her thoughts on playing the only female character in the work.

'Manager Kim', a new Saturday-Sunday drama on SBS (screenplay by Nam Dae-jung, directed by Lee Seung-young), held its production presentation at the SBS hall in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, on the 25th. The event was attended by director Lee Seung-young, along with actors So Ji-sub, Choi Tae-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, Joo Sang-wook, and Son Na-eun.

'Manager Kim' is a father-universe revenge action drama about the world's most ordinary father who becomes the world's most dangerous man to fight for the return of his only daughter.

'Manager Kim' features So Ji-sub as Manager Kim, who appears to be an ordinary employee at a small and medium-sized savings bank but is actually an agent who has been dispatched on countless special operations. Yoon Kyung-ho plays Sung Han-soo and Park Jin-cheol, longtime friends of Manager Kim. Joo Sang-wook portrays Ju Kang-chan, a legendary underdog who starts as a loan shark enforcer and rises to Joo Hak-geon-seol (Chairman). Son Na-eun plays Jeong Sang-a, a manager at Sangsaeng Savings Bank and a colleague of Manager Kim.

'Manager Kim' actress Son Na-eun shared the reason she joined the project. She said, "It's a new genre I haven't tried before, so I'm looking forward to it. There were also senior actors I really wanted to work with, so there was no reason not to do it."

'Manager Kim' actress Son Na-eun also shared her thoughts on working as the only female cast member alongside So Ji-sub, Choi Tae-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Joo Sang-wook. Son Na-eun said, "Acting alongside senior actors was both joyful and, to be honest, a bit burdensome. However, the seniors welcomed me warmly and shared interesting stories, making the set a fun place. I was able to deliver the performance we prepared well while working with them." She added, "Being the only woman was initially burdensome, but in the end, I was glad it was that way."

'Manager Kim' actress Son Na-eun commented on working with So Ji-sub: "I even did the first scene with a senior actor, and it was wonderful to act alongside a senior I had only seen on TV. He guided me well, and we wrapped up the first scene smoothly."

'Manager Kim' will premiere on the 26th at 9:50 p.m.
