Actress Ha Yoon-kyung returns to the screen with a realistic, grounded character named Kang Ha-ri through JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Apartment'.

On the 11th, Ha Yoon-kyung took to her social media to promote the upcoming premiere of 'Apartment', posting: "Everyone, I'm getting married! In JTBC's drama 'Apartment'. Will you be there?" The released photo shows Ha Yoon-kyung wearing a wedding dress for a fake wedding ceremony in the series.

In 'Apartment', she plays Kang Ha-ri, whose dream is to become a lawyer at a law firm, but whose reality is that of a professional part-timer. Unable to tell her older sister—who paid for her law school tuition—that she failed the bar exam, she works as an actor-for-hire to earn living expenses. Though her days are unpredictable, she remains determined to one day become a lawyer.

Her energetic and resourceful approach to making money, regardless of the circumstances, radiates a powerful energy just by watching. Ha Yoon-kyung captures Kang Ha-ri's spirited and passionate side—finishing first in a running race at a school event held for role-replacement work and collecting her payment—as well as her sincere and human charm that prevents her from ignoring those in need. In particular, her hesitant yet ultimately extending her lips after being tempted by Park Hae-kang (played by Ji Sung) with an offer of 2 million won more if she kisses him brings laughter and adds a cheerful tone to the scene.

She also portrays Kang Ha-ri's contrasting side: the way she instinctively lowers her head whenever standing before her older sister. Not only does she firmly believe her sister is a lawyer, but she also feels deep inner turmoil for being unable to confess the truth to her sister, who even buys her expensive suits out of love.

On this day, Ha Yoon-kyung skillfully portrayed the reality of job seekers and part-timers burdened by social expectations. She further delivered a lively performance showing Kang Ha-ri feeling upset after performing a kiss stunt at a wedding reception for money, only to lift her spirits with the line: "But I got paid, so it's fine!"

Kang Ha-ri, who appeared as an icon of chaos from the very first episode, was shown in the preview for Episode 2 being invited to join an intermittent family. As attention turns to whether she and Park Hae-kang's group can secure the Jangchunggeum (a special fund for long-term building repairs) by becoming part of this intermittent family, interest also grows in how Ha Yoon-kyung, who has undergone a 180-degree transformation through this work, will continue to showcase her acting prowess.

Meanwhile, 'Apartment' is a slice-of-life human drama that follows former Oasis Park boss Park Hae-kang, who runs for president of the apartment association to uncover hidden money within the complex and works with residents to expose corruption. The series airs every Saturday at 10:40 p.m. and Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
