JTBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Hush" starring Yoona, ended on the 6th. Actress Hwang Jung-min came back to the small screen for the first time in a long time and drew attention, and Yoona played Lee Ji-soo, a reporter of conviction who goes straight without compromising reality. Yoona's sincere acting was also well received through her growing character in one episode, but unfortunately, the ratings struggled at the 2% range until the final episode.

Choi Soo-young also showed off her charm as a satisfying character on JTBC's "Run On" which ended on the 4th. Writer Park Si-hyun-I, who made his debut with "Run On", earned the title 'little Kim Eun-sook' with his witty lines while Choi Soo-young's role as Seo Dan-ah attracted fans with a character that especially matches her unique line. In addition, external styling was a key point for Seo Dan-ah to watch. However, "Run On" also received less attention with only 3% viewership.

Now, Kwon Yuri will challenge the small screen where they have stepped down. Kwon Yuri is set to start MBN's "Bossam: Steal the Fate", which is scheduled to be organized in the first half of this year, and it is more meaningful because it is the first historical drama of her life. "Bossam: Steal the Fate" is a reversal drama of the turbulent life of a livelihood kidnapper who accidentally kidnaps a princess, and Kwon Yuri plays Princess Hwain, the daughter of Gwanghaegun and the daughter-in-law of Lee Yi-cheom, the enemy of Gwanghaegun. In addition, Jung Il-woo, who has been nicknamed 'historical drama prince' for his many experiences in historical dramas, will be in the leading male role and the drama is helmed by director Kwon Seok-jang, who has been recognized for MBC's "Pasta", "My Princess" and "Miss Korea", raising expectations for the drama.

Therefore, people are curious about Kwon Yuri's new challenge and attention is being paid to what kind of achievements she will be able to make. In fact, apart from the fact that the members of Girls' Generation are constantly establishing themselves as actors, the reality is that they have not been able to make a name for themselves as 'viewership queens'. In response, an actor official said, "Since actors can't do anything about ratings or overall making, they often make choices based on their characters. Therefore, whether the character looks attractive or not can give its own meaning".

Another official said, "It is difficult to predict because MBN rarely makes dramas, but the previous MBN's "Graceful Family" and "Lies of Lies" had good topics and ratings. "Bossam: Steal the Fate" is MBN's first historical drama, and it is expected to have an audience rating effect because middle-aged people with power and many loyal fans of historical dramas are MBN's main audience".
