Genie TV's original drama "Lies Hidden in My Garden", starring Kim Tae-hee and Lim Ji-yeon, will premiere on the 19th.

"Lies Hidden in My Garden" is a drama based on a best-selling novel of the same name and is a suspense thriller in which two women who live completely different lives meet due to the suspicious smell of the backyard.

Kim Tae-hee, Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Sung-oh, and Choi Jae-rim lead the drama. "Lies Hidden in My Garden" released a teaser before the first broadcast, further stimulating the desire to watch it live.

Kim Tae-hee plays the role of Joo-ran, who lives a picturesque daily life in a perfect house and is confused by the smell of corpses in the yard, while Lim Ji-yeon plays the role of Sang-eun, a victim of domestic violence who dreams of escaping from a miserable reality.

The two are expected to immerse themselves in their characters and increase the completeness of the mystery thriller. As it is an eight-part series, the condensed and intense performance of the two actresses is looked forward to. As delicate psychological descriptions are foreseen here, acting combinations and acting confrontations between the two actresses are also expected.

In addition, Lim Ji-yeon, who has become more popular due to the craze of "The Glory", will stand in front of viewers with her acting transformation. It will show a completely different appearance and personality, not just unconventional.

Competition for Monday-Tuesday dramas in June is expected to intensify due to the launch of Kim Tae-hee and Lim Ji-yeon.

The Monday-Tuesday dramas currently on air are KBS 2TV's Monday-Tuesday drama "My Perfect Stranger" and tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Delightfully Deceitful". The two works are in a neck-and-neck race with a viewer rating of around 4% (based on Nielsen Korea). Kim Dong-wook is starring as a male lead in two works.

"My Perfect Stranger" is running toward the end, and "Delightfully Deceitful" has just met with viewers. Although it is not broadcasted at the same time, it is competing for the title of 'No. 1 Monday and Tuesday drama ratings'. One of the two works is not overwhelmingly high in ratings.

Against this backdrop, the launch of "Lies Hidden in My Garden" is drawing attention to how the landscape of the Monday-Tuesday drama will change. Viewers are paying keen attention as Kim Tae-hee, who returns after three years, and Lim Ji-yeon, who rose to stardom with "The Glory", appear in one work. Attention is focused on whether they will catch Kim Dong-wook's two works and take the throne of the Monday-Tuesday drama.

In addition, another new work will be released in the last week of June following "Lies Hidden in My Garden". It is "Heartbeat - Drama" starring Ok Taecyeon and Won Ji-an.

"Heartbeat - Drama" is a dizzying life-secured symbiosis romance in which Seon Woo-hyeol, a half-human vampire who could not become human by a day in 100 years, and Joo In-hae, a woman who cannot be found to be human, accidentally begin to live together and find true warmth. Ok Taecyeon plays the role of Sun Woo-hyeol and Won Ji-an plays the role of Joo In-hae. A dizzying and heart-throbbing romance will unfold.
