A rainy, auspicious encounter in first teaser for Night Light
November 9, 2016 by chickachunga

 

 

The first teaser and additional stills are out for MBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama Night Light, a story of three young and ambitious individuals ignited by their undying flame of greed in their pursuit of ultimate wealth and power.
 
Lee Yo-won (Ms. Temper and Nam Jung-ki) plays an elegant, “crystal-like†ice queen named Seo Yi-kyung. She changes the life of Lee Se-jin, played by UEE (Marriage Contract), a woman of humble beginnings who sets her sights on Yi-kyung’s life of luxury, eager to leave her dirt-poor past behind. Jin Gu (Descended from the Sun) plays Park Gun-woo, an upright, second-generation chaebol heir with a warm heart who loves Yi-kyung, his first love. But when Se-jin gets into the picture, and she starts resembling Yi-kyung more and more, things start to get complicated for him and the other two corners of the love/power triangle.

DRAMA CASTING & NEWS

Winning is the only name of the game in MBC’s Night Light

The second teaser is out for MBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama Night Light, written by Han Ji-hoon of Last and directed by Lee Jae-dong, whose previous works include I Miss You and My Blooming Days.

 

Night Light is the story of three individuals propelled by their undying greed as they clamor for wealth and power in order to reign supreme at the top of the food chain. Lee Yo-won (Ms. Temper and Nam Jung-ki) plays Seo Yi-kyung, a cold crystal of a woman who believes avarice is not a sin and is dead-set on creating her own “kingdom†of which she is sovereign. Jin Gu (Descended From the Sun) plays Park Gun-woo, a warm-hearted, free-spirited man of integrity who also happens to be a second-generation chaebol heir. UEE (Marriage Contract) plays Lee Se-jin, whose hidden potential and rapacity is spotted and drawn out by Yi-kyung, allowing Se-jin to quit her dirt-poor past and begin anew. The three battle their way to the top and make up a dangerous love triangle.

 

 

In the teaser below, Yi-kyung loads a pistol and brings it right up to her temple. Without a trace of fear in her face, she declares, “The one who gives up first loses. That is the rule.†We then see Se-jin as a parking attendant and, later, barefoot and drenched in the pouring rain. She asks Yi-kyung, “When you don’t have money or connections, every day is urgent. But you wouldn’t understand that kind of thing, right?â€

 

Next, Gun-woo watches with concern as his father gets accosted by news reporters, and he says, “Whatever it is, I do things my way.†Yi-kyung and Se-jin stand before a mirror and when Se-jin asks if she can become like her, Yi-kyung answers in a steely voice, “You should ask yourself that, Se-jin, if even for a brief moment you want to be like me.†The desire is definitely there because the final shot is of Se-jin determinedly introducing herself as Seo Yi-kyung.

 

I’m drawn to Yi-kyung and Se-jin as separate individuals, but even more interested in the relationship that’ll form between them. Yi-kyung may start out as Se-jin’s ruthless mentor, but she’ll probably lose control of her protégée once Se-jin learns to play the game on her own. Will Gun-woo end up with first love Yi-kyung or the Yi-kyung Se-jin is becoming? I’m holding my bets on this one.

 

MBC’s Night Light will premiere after Woman With a Suitcase on November 21.

New MBC series depicts world ruled by power, money and greed


By Lee Haye-ah


 


SEOUL, Nov. 17 (Yonhap) -- How far can a woman get when she sets her mind on building an empire out of her father's business, which once reigned over the world of finance but now faces ruin?


 


   The forthcoming MBC series "Night Light" seeks to provide an answer in the life of protagonist Seo Yi-kyung (Lee Yo-won), a cold and ambitious woman who sees no wrong in displaying her unfettered desire for power and wealth. Seo is the only child of a Korean-Japanese business mogul who moved to Japan in search of his father after Korean liberation from Japanese occupation. From a young age, she has been groomed to take over the family business. But when crisis hits, she moves to South Korea to find a solution and runs into two people -- her ex-boyfriend and a poor but daring young woman -- who could reshape her future.


"It's a story about a woman in a world that is dishonest about greed, ambition, money and power, who reveals her greed honestly, doesn't hide it and boldly walks toward her goal," Lee Jae-dong, the series' director, said during a press conference held at MBC headquarters in western Seoul.

In her quest for power, Seo meets Lee Se-jin (Uee) and discovers in her a thirst for money and other things she wasn't born with. The heiress begins to train her and draws her into the corporate hell.


"(My character) is someone who could do nearly anything to get her hands on the things she wants," Lee Yo-won said. "It's my first time playing a character who reveals such greed and ambition, and I'm really enjoying filming and feeling vicarious gratification."


 


   The actress said she was drawn to her character as soon as she read the script. She then took the role because she believed it wasn't something she could come across twice.


"I, too, have a cold side, and I tried to bring that out in my acting," she said. "(My character) speaks very bluntly to Se-jin and I also tend to speak bluntly in real life. I tried to shape my character in that direction."


Uee, who debuted as a member of the girl group After School, described her character as a young woman who admires and wants to emulate Seo.


 


"When I first shot a scene with Seo Yi-kyung, I immediately felt that she was a chic woman," the singer-actress said. "I've been filming with that impression in mind. It makes me excited and look forward to more."

The Monday-Tuesday series comes at a time when the country has been roiled by a corruption scandal involving the president and her confidante.


Jin Goo, who plays the ex-boyfriend and a chaebol heir, hinted that audiences may find the drama more entertaining in light of the current political situation.


 


"The protagonist is a woman ... we see a lot of women and men in dark suits in the news. I just thought that there are similarities in terms of the picture," he said. Lee, the director, played down the similarities, saying the drama was conceived long before the scandal broke.


Jin is best known for his role as a tough special forces soldier in the megahit series "Descendants of the Sun," which aired early this year.


 


This time, his character looks people in the eyes as he speaks and doesn't give up on the woman he loves, the actor said.


"I've become a lot softer, but (both characters) reflected different sides of me, so I didn't really have difficulties (playing the new part). There's a warmth deep inside of me," he said with a laugh.


"Night Light" will premiere at 10 p.m. Monday.
