Flying underwear and Park Sung-hoon in ENA’s Strangers
by tccolb
With Jeon Hye-jin (Uncle) and Sooyoung (Please Send a Fan Letter) as our unconventional mother-daughter pair, ENA’s first teaser for Strangers offers plenty of shenanigans – in addition to some very awkward encounters.
Jumping straight into the opening dilemma, we watch as Jin-hee (Sooyoung) bangs her head in frustration while also laughing at the incredulous situation. The appearing captions repeat her voiceover: “I ended up seeing the most traumatic thing in my whole life.”

We then cut to Jin-hee confiding what happened to her friend: “Have you ever seen your mom have XX?” In the sequence that follows, we see that our free-spirited mom Eun-mi (Jeon Hye-jin) is very comfortable with her daughter, showing off her enhanced ahem padding and persuading Jin-hee to go for a second round of drinks.
The intermittent text screens announce that they have: “A chaotic mother-daughter relationship that you’ve never seen before.” I’m thankful, though, that I’m on the other side of the screen because I don’t know how Jin-hee will show her face at work after the underwear incident with Park Sung-hoon (The Glory).
As we come to a close with the final sequence, we see how trouble often follows Eun-mi while Jin-hee is stuck cleaning up. She screams in frustration at one such mess in her room and then takes a moment to seriously ask her friend, “Is my mom not strange?”
With production led by PD Lee Min-woo (Cinderella and the Four Knights, God’s Quiz 4) and writer Min Sun-ah, ENA’s Strangers premieres on July 17 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.
