Director Yoo Jae-suk's debut short-form drama, 'I Decided to Take Back the Woman My Brother Stole,' is showcasing addictive charm.

The MBC variety program 'What Do You Do?' broadcast on the 9th featured the episode 'Let's Make a Short-Form Drama.' Yoo Jae-suk's debut work, 'I Decided to Take Back the Woman My Brother Stole' (abbreviated as 'Dong-Hum-Nae-Yeo-Da-Ppeot'), boasted a glamorous lineup including actors Kim Seok-hoon, Kim Sung-kyun, Heo Kyung-hwan, Jung Jun-ha, special appearance by Hwang Jung-min, OST vocals by Bae Ji-young, and violin performance by Danny Koo.

Immediately after the broadcast, the full version of 'Dong-Hum-Nae-Yeo-Da-Ppeot' released via the official YouTube channel of 'What Do You Do?' surpassed 400,000 views, garnering explosive reactions. Although it is a short-form drama created for a variety show, it received high praise for its high quality.

Previously, director Yoo Jae-suk embarked on the production of the short-form drama with the goal of completing script reading, cranking in, and cranking out within half a day. HaHa served as the writer, Joo Woo-jae as the assistant director, and Heo Kyung-hwan as an actor. In an extreme situation, HaHa completed the script in one week, while Joo Woo-jae rented the set of the daily drama 'The First Man' and secured a PPL contract. HaHa remarked, "It's exactly like the movie 'Parasite,'" likening it to a theft-style shoot, and Heo Kyung-hwan laughed after learning late that he had been cast as the female lead while reading the script.

'Dong-Hum-Nae-Yeo-Da-Ppeot' sparked interest with a melodramatic story encompassing all genres, including romance, revenge action, medical, and illicit love melodrama. Kim Seok-hoon took on the role of facing off against and taking revenge on his half-brother Kim Sung-kyun, who stole the Yuldo Group and his wife. Kim Sung-kyun played a role filled with the desire to not lose what is his. Heo Kyung-hwan portrayed the devilish woman Heo In-ok, who captured the hearts of both men, while Jung Jun-ha showcased a thousand faces by playing four roles: secretary, Ms. Jeong, doctor, and detective.

Director Yoo Jae-suk elicited admiration from the actors with his improvisational yet meticulous direction. Heo Kyung-hwan captivated the audience with his unconventional cross-dressing and a powerful performance in the latter part of the drama. Heo Kyung-hwan appeared, showing off his sturdy build and the angry calf muscles atop high heels, then launched a storm-like fainting ad-lib that put Kim Seok-hoon in a 'laughing while holding back' crisis. As filming progressed, the acting became increasingly intense. He displayed monstrous strength by lifting and throwing Kim Sung-kyun, expressing Heo In-ok's anger and turning the set into a wasteland.

The broadcast of 'What Do You Do?' on this day recorded a metropolitan area household viewership rating of 3.2%. Reflecting changes in the media consumption environment, the key channel competitiveness indicator for the 2054 demographic reached 1.7%, securing first place in the same time slot. The best minute was the scene where the short-form drama shoot was completed, with the peak viewership per minute reaching 4.7%. (Based on Nielsen Korea metropolitan area standards)

The preview for the next broadcast features Yoo Jae-suk, HaHa, Heo Kyung-hwan, Joo Woo-jae, Yang Sang-guk, and new guest Lee Sun-min continuing the 'War of Money' series in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, Joo Woo-jae's hometown. 'What Do You Do?' meets viewers every Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
