May 21, 2024

MBC’s upcoming Friday-Saturday drama “Bitter Sweet Hell” has released new stills!

“Bitter Sweet Hell” is a black comedy starring Kim Hee Sun as Noh Young Won, the top family psychiatrist in all of Korea. When an anonymous blackmailer puts her career and family at risk, Noh Young Won teams up with her mother-in-law Hong Sa Gang (Lee Hye Young), a mystery novelist, to protect their family.

Noh Young Won’s family is rounded out by her husband, Choi Jae Jin (Kim Nam Hee), a renowned plastic and reconstructive surgeon; Choi Go Myun (Kwon Hae Hyo), a former prosecutor and Noh Young Won’s father-in-law; and Choi Do Hyun (Jaechan), the exemplary son of Noh Young Won and Choi Jae Jin.

In the newly released stills, the entire family is gathered around the dining table for a meal. While Choi Go Myun leads the conversation with a stern demeanor, Noh Young Won, Choi Jae Jin, and Choi Do Hyun burst into laughter, but Hong Sa Gang stands out by revealing her discomfort, drawing attention with her serious expression, devoid of a smile.

In the cheerful family setting, Noh Young Won is the only one who notices her mother-in-law’s chilly vibe, sparking curiosity about what’s behind Hong Sa Gang’s mood and what could disrupt this “ideal” family.
