JTBC’s upcoming drama “Agency” (literal translation) has shared a glimpse of the intriguing dynamic between Lee Bo Young and Son Naeun!
Set within the fiercely competitive world of one of Korea’s leading advertisement agencies, “Agency” will star Lee Bo Young as Go Ah In, the first-ever female executive of VC Group. Son Naeun will also star in the drama as Kang Han Na, the youngest daughter of the VC Group family and VC Planning’s Director of Social Media.
Go Ah In, who grew up on her own without parents, struggled financially throughout her youth—and even when she was admitted to Korea’s top university, she had no choice but to enroll in a public college outside of Seoul instead. However, her burning ambition and desperation to succeed helped her climb the ranks at her company despite her unprivileged background.
On the other hand, Kang Han Na’s upbringing couldn’t have been more different from Go Ah In’s. While Go Ah In had to fight tooth and nail for everything she’s achieved, Kang Han Na is a chaebol heiress who has had everything handed to her on a silver platter, including her job: as soon as she finished studying abroad in the United States, she was immediately given the position of Director of Social Media at her family’s company.
However, despite their glaring differences, the two women actually share some hidden similarities. Both of them believe in the credo “Think strategically, act crazy,” and they both have great instincts and keen intuition. When the two meet as executives, Go Ah In immediately catches the sharp-witted Kang Han Na’s eye, and even as she hides her claws, it’s clear to the heiress that the other woman is a force to be reckoned with.
After they recognize each other’s skill and potential, it remains to be seen whether the two women will join forces and work together—or if they will face off in a vicious battle to reach the top.
The producers of the drama teased, “One key point that will be fun to keep an eye on in ‘Agency’ is Ah In and Han Na’s battle of wits—and how they’ll use one another to reach the top of their industry. Will the two of them create a womance for the ages, or will they fight one another and drive each other crazy? Please look forward to their entertaining dynamic.”
“Agency” will premiere on January 7 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
