Kong Hyo-jin is rallying support for 'Married Woman Killer'.

In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman 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, Studio Pim), Kong Hyo-jin portrays Yu Bo-na, who struggles tirelessly to protect her beloved family and the world, drawing continuous attention.

Kong Hyo-jin's delicate acting vividly brought Yu Bo-na to life. Even in moments of coldly carrying out missions, she never missed the fleeting cracks of emotion that occasionally surfaced, portraying a woman who gives her all in front of her family and depicted various facets of her character in three dimensions. She also fully conveyed her conviction to guard against harm spreading to innocent people and to choose what must be done when another sacrifice must be prevented. Through brief hesitations, calmly delivered lines, and an immediate shift to determination, she meticulously expressed the inner turmoil within, creating a distinct quality different from a killer who simply eliminates targets. Even subtle differences in facial expressions and tone of voice fully conveyed the situation the character faced, adding weight to Yu Bo-na's actions.

The fact that this character is possible only because it is Kong Hyo-jin has become increasingly clear with each episode. Her strength in realistically portraying characters one might encounter in daily life continued in this work. With her solid ability to embody the character, she smoothly guided the narrative and drew viewers along with her. Even in a story where the focus could easily have been placed solely on satisfying retribution, she highlighted the character's inner struggles and convictions, drawing empathy from viewers. As viewers followed Kong Hyo-jin's face, they found themselves cheering for her actions. Ultimately, Kong Hyo-jin's sincere acting, which ultimately makes viewers side with Yu Bo-na, firmly supports the plausibility of 'Married Woman Killer'.

Kong Hyo-jin stated, "As the drama progressed toward the latter half, I found it increasingly difficult to express the character. While I have portrayed many characters one might easily encounter in daily life until now, this character had fantastical elements." She added, "Since I had to navigate between two lives with completely different temperatures—a ordinary working mom and a ruthless killer—the burden was heavy. Nevertheless, I wanted to faithfully portray Bo-na's life as she struggles tirelessly to protect her precious daily routine."

Meanwhile, in 'Married Woman Killer', tension rises as husband Kwon Tae-seong (Jung Jun-won) and Lee Dong-jin (Lee Sang) draw closer to the identity of Kingfisher. As the possibility grows that Yu Bo-na's hidden secrets will be revealed, attention focuses on what ripple effects the truths moving toward each other will bring.
