The SBS drama "Secret Boutique" began on the 18th of September and Kim Sun-a plays Jenny Jang, the owner of Secret Boutique.

"Secret Boutique" is a story that revolves around the people who play a game of power and revenge around the leader position of DEO Group and the development of an international city. Kim Sun-a goes from public bath worker to a maid in the DEO Group household to an influential heavyweight. She plays a character that contrasts to Cha Woo-kyeong from "Children of Nobody".

"Secret Boutique" is a ladies' noir also featuring Chang Mi-hee (Kim Yeo-ok), Park Hee-von (Wi Ye-nam) and Go Min-si (Lee Hyeon-ji).

They display a battle for power in the women's world, bringing fresh contents to the small screens. Male actors such as Kim Tae-hoon (Wi Jeong-hyeok) and Kim Jae-young (Yoon Seon-woo) play supportive roles.

"Secret Boutique" is outdone by its competitor "The Tale of Nokdu" on KBS 2TV, but it's being said that the fresh content has expanded the prospects of noir.

SBS drama "VIP" began last month. This is also a drama that puts forth female characters first. It is about the secretive office melodrama of a VIP specialist team that deals with VIP at the Sungwoon Department Store.

Jang Nara tackles the role of deputy Na Jeong-seon from the VIP specialist team. She is her superior, Park Seong-joon's (Lee Sang-yoon), lovely wife and a meticulous career woman.

The key point of the drama is to find Park Seong-joon's mistress. As much as Jang Nara and Lee Sang-yoon carry weight in the drama, the roles of the likely 3 candidates take up a big part, and they are Lee Chung-ah, Kwak Sun-young and Pyo Ye-jin.

Lee Chung-ah plays Lee Hyeon-ah, chief of the VIP specialist team, Kwak Sun-young is Song Mi-na, a working mom, and Pyo Ye-jin is On Yoo-ri, a rookie in the Specialized VIP team in the core department at the tasting section of the department store. The three are expected to create great immersion for viewers through their well-performed characters.
