'Trap of Desire' is writing a new box office formula.

The new KBS 2TV daily drama 'Trap of Desire' (script by Gu Ji-won, directed by Lee Dae-kyung), which premieres on the 10th, is a fate-restoring revenge story about a woman whose life was stolen due to a murder accusation as she confronts enormous desire.

Previously, 'Trap of Desire' is a work in which Jang Seo-hei, who gained the title 'Queen of Daily Dramas' through her performances in 'Mermaid Princess' and 'Temptation of Wife', returns to KBS after 12 years.

Through 'Trap of Desire', Jang Seo-hei presents a radical transformation different from existing revenge dramas. While she has been loved for roles that provided catharsis through counterattacks and punishment for characters placed in unjust situations, this time she will meet viewers as the ultimate villain who designs all events and moves for desire.

Jang Seo-hei plays 'Joo Mi-ran', a character who rose from being a nanny to the position of chairperson of the Cheongma Scholarship Foundation Hong Bo (Head). She is cold and meticulous, willing to completely steal others' lives to achieve her desires, standing at the center of enormous desire surrounding 'Cheongma Group'. Rather than simply getting caught up in events, she drives the drama as a proactive villain who constantly designs the board for her ambition and moves surrounding characters like pieces on a chessboard.

Writer Gu Ji-won stated, "'Trap of Desire' is a work where Jang Seo-hei's overwhelming strategy and charisma as Joo Mi-ran take center stage," adding, "I believe Jang Seo-hei is the only actress with an innate power to make the words on the script come alive, capable of expressing the three-dimensional and chilling charisma of the character. Her synchronization rate is so perfect it cannot even be discussed in numbers."

Director Lee Dae-kyung, who took charge of directing, also revealed deep trust in Jang Seo-hei. The director said, "Actress Jang Seo-hei is an icon beyond words. I really wanted to work together on the Mi-ran role," and added, "She is expressing the various faces of the character Joo Mi-ran most persuasively."

Meanwhile, 'Trap of Desire' will premiere as the successor to 'Red Pearl' at 7:50 p.m. on the 10th.
