Actress Gong Hyo-jin (46) is making a comeback as a 'Married Woman Killer' alongside Jung Jun-won (38), known for 'Resident Playbook'.

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' (script by Kim Eun-hee / directed by Yoon Jong-ho) is a drama depicting the struggle of a working mother with the world's most ruthless profession to protect her work-life balance. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name on Kakao, the project brings together director Yoon Jong-ho, who created the hit drama 'Backstroke of the West', and writer Kim Eun-hee, known for 'Ghost Doctor' and 'My Name Is Kim Sam-soon'.

Notably, 'Married Woman Killer' is drawing attention as Gong Hyo-jin's first MBC drama in 15 years since 'Best Love' in 2011. Adding to the anticipation, Jung Jun-won, who gained prominence last year with the drama 'Resident Playbook' (hereinafter 'Resident Playbook'), joins the cast, promising a fresh chemistry. Additionally, Lee Sang-i and Sung Dong-il have joined the cast, preparing to thrill living rooms this summer.

In the drama, Gong Hyo-jin plays Yoo Bo-na, the deputy manager of the Crane Electronics Sales Team 3 and the legendary sniper known as Kingfisher. Bo-na is an ordinary woman in her 30s with a husband and a four-year-old daughter, and she is also a 'one-shot, one-kill' killer who eliminates ruthless criminals overlooked by the law. After completing three years of maternity leave, Bo-na returns as Kingfisher, walking a tightrope between her warm daily life with her family and her dangerous main job. Expectations are high for how Gong Hyo-jin, who has established a unique position as a master of realistic acting, will portray the extreme dual life between home and work.

The role of Gong Hyo-jin's husband, Kwon Tae-sung, is played by Jung Jun-won. Kwon Tae-sung is a loving husband to Bo-na, a doting father to his daughter, and a passionate reporter in the investigative reporting team at a newspaper company. He is a bold character who fearlessly confronts all kinds of injustice in the world. Once a reporter who covered Kingfisher exclusively, Tae-sung gradually gets closer to the truth behind the mysterious Kingfisher. As Jung Jun-won, who emerged as a rising star through 'Resident Playbook', navigates the roles of a family man and a reporter, interest focuses on how deeply he will portray Tae-sung's emotional journey.

Lee Sang-i appears as Detective Lee Dong-jin of the Violent Crime Team 2 at the Southern District Police Station. Having a deep understanding of the pain of crime victims, he chooses the path of legitimate legal judgment rather than private revenge. Under the firm belief that he must capture Kingfisher to realize justice, Dong-jin continues his relentless pursuit. Lee Sang-i is expected to lead a tense cat-and-mouse game between him and Kingfisher as a tenacious detective, injecting thrilling tension into the drama.

Sung Dong-il plays Kim Bong-pal, the team leader of the Crane Electronics Sales Team 3. Known by the nickname 'Bong-ho-gu' for being a naturally kind person, he hides deep inner strength and combat ability beneath his gentle exterior. Kim Bong-pal shows maximum consideration and protection for Bo-na, who has returned as a killer, playing the role of a reliable support force.

The production team stated, "Not only will Gong Hyo-jin, the box office queen of 'My Name Is Kim Sam-soon', deliver a career-defining acting transformation, but the distinctive character performances by Jung Jun-won, Lee Sang-i, and Sung Dong-il will provide breathless immersion. We aim to offer viewers a thrilling catharsis through the novelty of swinging between a cheerful family drama and a crime-fighting action spectacle, so we ask for your interest and expectations."

'Married Woman Killer' is scheduled to premiere in July.
