On the 11th, tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born" unveiled character posters. "Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born" depicts competition, solidarity, and brilliant growth over the 'natural born sound genius' Jeongnyeon who challenges the best Korean drama actor after the Korean War in the 1950s. The fresh subject of 'women's theater' attracts attention, and director Jeong Ji-in, who directed "Red Sleeves", takes the megaphone, and Kim Tae-ri (Yoon Jeongnyeon), Shin Ye-eun (Heo Yeong-seo), Ra Mi-ran (Kang So-bok), Jung Eun-chae (Moon Ok-kyeong), Kim Yoon-hye (Seo Hye-rang), and special appearances such as Moon So-ri (Seo Yong-rye) and Lee Deok-hwa (Gong-seon's father).

The poster, which was released on the day, depicts the main characters of Maeran in various combinations as if they were looking at the visuals covered by a literary magazine in the 1950s. First of all, Jeongnyeon and Yeong-seo's two-shot drawing attention is eye-catching. The two women, who are wearing student uniforms, are staring straight ahead with their backs facing each other, and they can feel a tense battle. The copy of "You are my only rival and friend" also raises questions about the growth of the two girls, who will form a three-dimensional relationship beyond mere rivalry.

The teacher-student relationship between Jeongnyeon and So-bok, the leader of the student body, is also attracting attention. So-bok has her hand on Jeongnyeon's shoulder in anticipation. Even amid elegant beauty, her fierce eyes seem to reveal her strictness.

Jeongnyeon and Ok-kyeong's two-shot suggest the succession structure surrounding the position of the 'best star in Maeran'. Jeongnyeon is staring at Ok-kyeong, who exudes the aura of a sophisticated star, with a curious look at Jeongnyeon. The synergy that occurs when the already completed star and the gemstone with endless potential face each other is intense.

On the other hand, the two shots of Ok-kyeong and Hye-rang, the best stars of the Maeran Gukgeuk Company, create a precarious mood. While Hye-rang is looking only at Ok-kyeong, who has her back to Hye-rang, is just looking into the distance with a complex and subtle expression. At the same time, the copy that reads, "This stage from now on, it is only yours and mine", creates tension as it is buried with Hye-rang's fierce desire and obsession to monopolize the top spot in the theater world.

Meanwhile, "Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born" will first air at 9:20 PM on October 12th.
