Kim Hee-sun fears a Bittersweet Hell for her family
by tccolb
The promo campaign has finally set sail for MBC’s upcoming black comedy and thriller, which has been rechristened to Bittersweet Hell from Our House. Starring Kim Hee-sun (Remarriage & Desires), Lee Hye-young (Big Bet), Kim Nam-hee (Chicken Nugget), and Chansung (Bora! Deborah), we first meet our cast in the script reading stills while I sadly mourn my ruined plans for more 2PM jokes.
At the center of our story is the well-respected family psychologist and celebrity personality Noh Young-won (Kim Hee-sun). But one day the gentle Young-won starts to receive threats from an unknown blackmailer, jeopardizing her loving family and hard-earned success.
This leads Young-won to team up with her prickly mother-in-law Hong Sa-kang (Lee Hye-young), who happens to have a bit of know-how about these scenarios as a popular mystery-thriller novelist. There’s also nothing that Sa-kang wouldn’t do when it comes to protecting her son – and Young-won’s husband – Choi Jae-jin (Kim Nam-hee).
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, though, and the renowned plastic surgeon Jae-jin is dotingly devoted to both his mom Sa-kang and wife Young-won – as well as their son Choi Do-hyun played by DKZ’s Jaechan (Semantic Error). Rounding out their close-knit family, the group also includes Young-won’s man-child younger brother Noh Young-min (Chansung).
In supportive roles, noodle restaurant owner Ahn Gil-kang (Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938) is always ready and able to help Sa-kang with whatever she needs. Do-hyun, meanwhile, is getting school assistance from the bright but secretive tutor Jung Geon-joo (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse).
The long cast lineup also includes Shin So-yool (SF8), Yeonwoo (Numbers), Kwon Hae-hyo (Wedding Impossible), and Kim Sun-kyung (Unpredictable Family) among others.
Slated to premiere in the weekend slot on May 24, production for MBC’s Bittersweet Hell has scripts by Nam Ji-yeon (So I Married an Anti-fan), with PD Lee Do-hyun (Doctor Lawyer, She Knows Everything) and PD Wie Deuk-kyu co-directing.
