The SBS drama department has shut down Monday / Tuesday dramas for the time being, and replaced them with TV shows. Meanwhile, "Secret Boutique" is anticipated to take over Wednesday / Thursday, while "Vagabond" takes over Friday / Saturday. The concepts of the main cast are completely different, but they share a common factor that they have strong personalities. We take a look at the themes and things to look out for in the following two dramas.

- "Secret Boutique" and its overwhelming cast

"Secret Boutique" tells the story of Jenny Jang, who goes from public bath masseuse to a servant of the chaebol Deo Family and aims to become the queen with her ultimate weapon of 'international city development'.

In other words, the drama is a thriller about the power games women play for power, revenge and survival. From the mysterious poster you can get a glimpse of the vibe of the drama. The main expectation is that it is a psychological warfare of figures seeking the post of chief executive.

With less than a month to go before its broadcast, charismatic actresses make up the cast. Kim Sun-a plays Jenny Jang, the owner of J Boutique who is after the chief executive position. The teaser poster shows her in a red blouse and a miniskirt and a smart bob cut.

Chang Mi-hee plays Kim Yeo-ok who doesn't even mind the falling wheelchair in the room. She threatens a small child saying, "Who do you think people will believe, you who just got here or me, the lady of the house?"

The drama begins on the 18th of September.

- Lee Seung-gi and Bae Suzy's spy drama "Vagabond"

"Vagabond" is a drama about a man who becomes involved in the case of a commercial airline crash and uncovers the hidden truth of a huge national corruption scandal.

It is helmed by PD Yoo In-sik and written by Jang Yeong-cheol and Jeong Kyeong-soon-I. The cast is made up of Lee Seung-gi, Bae Suzy, Baek Yoon-sik, Moon Sung-keun, Lee Kyung-young and more.

Lee Seung-gi takes on the role of Cha Dal-geon, a former stuntman, and leads the life of a chaser due to an incident. It is expected of him to put on an impressive action performance and deep emotional displays.

Bae Suzy is Go Hae-ri, a National Intelligence black ops agent. It is one of the key points of the drama to watch Go Hae-ri's detailed emotional changes and her experience throughout unexpected events which cause her to grow further.

The drama begins on the 20th of September at 10PM.
