In The First Man, Hahm Eun-jung will take on an unprecedented challenge as 2 roles at oncetwin sisters Oh Jang-mi and Ma Seo-rinwhose paths couldn't be more different.
Oh Jang-mithe eldest, is a warm-hearted, courageous woman with a strong sense of justice. Gifted in the kitchen, she works tirelessly to realize her dream of opening her own restaurant. Smiling and persevering, she takes on a series of odd jobs, but refuses to let difficulties get her down.
Ma Seo-rinthe youngest, is the sole heiress of the conglomerate Dream Group. Spoiled, daring and carefree, she lives in excess, knowing neither fear nor limits. Ready to do anything to get what she wants, she crushes anyone who gets in her way, until fate catches up with her.
You won't be disappointed. It's been a while since I've seen an “old-school” birth secrets, revenge, and hierarchy fight drama.
I love the “rom-coms” but I prefer plot twists, evil in-laws, and the good guys outsmarting their oppressors!
Side note to all the all the KDrama and KPop entertainment producers, et al: Please, please treat the on-screen and behind the scene talent well. Keep them safe (children and adults; female and male)! No bullying, abuse, exploitation, or underpaying of salaries!
They work hard at their craft and deserve the best. It hurts to learn about the physical abuses (s-x & otherwise), and the scandals surrounding your industry. Stop overworking and not supporting them.
I have more to say, but
