'When the Phone Rings' goes steady, 'Family Matters' breaks records
MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama Bittersweet Hell has unveiled its teaser.
Bittersweet Hell is a black comedy that tells the story of Noh Young Won, a renowned family counselor, who is threatened by an unknown blackmailer. This leads her to collaborate with her mother-in-law, a mystery novel writer, to protect her family.
The teaser commences with solemn music. Noh Young Won (Kim Hee Sun) and Hong Sa Gang (Lee Hye Young) are standing at a gravesite. A voiceover asks, "Do you know everything? About your family?"
Choi Jae Jin (Kim Nam Hee) is shown earnestly praying. A suspicious text message reads, "Does Dr. Noh Young Won know everything about her husband?"
Scenes of Noh Young Won opening a safe, her family photo, a woman playing with a lighter, drops of blood on glasses, and a car being pulled out of the sea intensify the suspense.
The teaser then shows Choi Jae Jin smiling brightly and hugging his wife, Noh Young Won, followed by No Young Won sitting with a dark expression in her counseling room.
Then intriguing scenes of Hong Sa Gang performing a bizarre dance and Choi Jae Jin shivering in fear while wiping blood from his medical scrub follow.
Towards the teaser's conclusion, Hong Sa Gang says, "You still don't understand? We've fallen into a trap."
Bittersweet Hell will premiere on May 24. More news about the K-drama's OTT streaming service is yet to come. Watch the teaser here.
