Actress Jang Seo-hee returns as a 'villain' in 'Trap of Desire'.

KBS 2TV's new daily drama 'Trap of Desire' (directed by Lee Dae-kyung and Jeong Kwang-soo; scripted by Gu Ji-won) is a fate-restoring revenge story about a woman whose life was stolen due to a murder accusation as she confronts immense desire.

Jang Seo-hee, who earned the title 'Queen of Daily Dramas' with works such as 'Mermaid Princess' and 'Temptation of Wife', has chosen the new daily drama 'Trap of Desire', announcing her return to KBS's living room screens after 12 years and drawing attention.

In the drama, Jang Seo-hee plays Joo Mi-ran, a former nanny who is now the chairperson of the Cheongma Scholarship Foundation Hong Bo (Head) and the ultimate villain who will stop at nothing to steal others' lives entirely for her own desires. Joo Mi-ran appears endlessly gentle and devoted, but beneath that surface lies a character hiding immeasurable ambition and secrets. She possesses a ruthless side, unhesitatingly committing acts such as fabricating murder accusations to protect her own safety and achieve her goals.

In the first stills released on the 8th, Jang Seo-hee perfectly captured Joo Mi-ran's hidden side behind an elegant and intellectual appearance with just a few shots. Her soft smile and the chilling gaze concealed within it hint at Joo Mi-ran's dangerous nature, vividly revealing her dualistic character.

Jang Seo-hee, who exudes an unparalleled aura, is reported to have deeply immersed herself in the character throughout filming, completing Joo Mi-ran with her own unique color. Consequently, attention is focused on how Jang Seo-hee will portray Joo Mi-ran's fierce behind-the-scenes struggle as she stops at nothing to stand at the pinnacle of twisted desire. Positioned at the center of the drama, Jang Seo-hee is expected to generate intense tension and demonstrate an irreplaceable presence, sparking another powerful phenomenon on living room screens.

The production team stated, "Jang Seo-hee is orchestrating the tension of the entire drama and demonstrating overwhelming control." They added, "Unlike being etched in the public mind as an icon of revenge until now, in 'Trap of Desire', she will show a completely new face through her role as Joo Mi-ran, who is both the target of revenge and the beginning of all tragedies. We ask for your great interest and support for 'Trap of Desire,' which will visit living room screens this summer."

'Trap of Desire' is directed by Lee Dae-kyung, who helmed 'May Youth' and 'Drama Special 2023: Shadow Confession', with writer Gu Ji-won, known for 'Eulachacha My Life' and 'Summer Please'.

'Trap of Desire' will air as the successor to 'Red Pearl' on August 10 at 7:50 p.m.
