Lee Seo-hwan and Nam Gwon-a, as the village head couple, add fresh momentum to the Yeonliri narrative.

Set to air at 9:50 p.m. on the 26th, the new KBS2 miniseries ‘Simu-myeon Yeonliri’ (directed by Choi Yeon-su / written by Song Jeong-rim and Wang Hye-ji / produced by Simstory) is a chaotic, healing family reboot drama about the truly urban Sung Tae-hoon household that is suddenly dropped into the pristine yet savage(?) zone ‘Yeonliri’ and struggles to make a comeback to Seoul.

While actors Park Sung-woong and Lee Soo-kyung team up as a married couple to portray city dwellers adjusting to rural life, Lee Seo-hwan and Nam Gwon-a join as the rural village head couple, stirring commotion and fun in Yeonliri.

In the story, Lee Seo-hwan plays Im Ju-hyeong, the head of Yeonliri, who cherishes the village more than anyone. While Im Ju-hyeong displays quiet hostility toward the company ‘Mat Story’ of Sung Tae-hoon (played by Park Sung-woong), he also does not hide his envy and jealousy of Tae-hoon, a former department head at a conglomerate.

Nam Gwon-a appears as Nam Hye-seon, a behind-the-scenes power broker of Yeonliri and the head of the women association. Outwardly she exudes the aura of a tough, no-nonsense woman and a hidden power of the village, but inside she is deep and warm. Running a cafe and a hair salon, she capably serves as a source of news for Yeonliri; as part of the ‘Yeonliri village head couple’, she is set to shoulder one pillar of the story and make her presence felt.

The first stills capture Lee Seo-hwan and Nam Gwon-a perfectly transformed into Im Ju-hyeong and Nam Hye-seon. From Im Ju-hyeong, who wears a fluorescent cap that says Yeonliri and even proudly sports an armband reading ‘village head’ on his arm, one can fully sense the vibe of a stalwart who loves the village. His behavior, one hundred percent synced with the headman character, surprises everyone and heightens curiosity for the broadcast.

Meanwhile, Nam Gwon-a as Nam Hye-seon also draws the eye. Her ever-changing expressions, from smiles to surprise, spark curiosity about the happenings in the pristine yet savage(?) zone Yeonliri. With the first episode hinting at unpredictable events and an unprecedented presence from the two village heads in ‘Simu-myeon Yeonliri’, anticipation for the premiere only grows.

Poised to lead the Thursday-night small screen, ‘Simu-myeon Yeonliri’ is helmed by director Choi Yeon-su, who co-directed works such as ‘24-Hour Health Club’, ‘Crazy Love’, and ‘Chulsapyo’, and is co-written by writer Song Jeong-rim, credited with ‘Let Us Marry, Maengkkong-a!’ and ‘Bride of the Typhoon’, and writer Wang Hye-ji, credited with ‘A Romance Without Love’.

The new miniseries ‘Simu-myeon Yeonliri’, starring Lee Seo-hwa and Kwon Nam-a, will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on March 26.
