“Agency,” set in the brutally competitive world of one of Korea’s biggest advertising firms, will feature Lee Bo Young as Go Ah In, the company’s first female CEO. Son Naeun will also appear in the drama as Kang Han Na, the VC Group family’s youngest daughter and the Director of Social Media at VC Planning.
Go Ah In, who grew up without her parents, suffered financially throughout her childhood, and even after being accepted to Korea’s best institution, she was forced to enroll in a public college outside of Seoul instead. Despite her disadvantaged origins, her burning passion and drive to achieve enabled her rise through the ranks at her employer.
Kang Han Na’s upbringing, on the other hand, could not have been more unlike than Go Ah In’s. Kang Han Na, on the other hand, is a chaebol heiress who has had everything handed to her on a silver platter, including her job: as soon as she completed studying abroad in the United States, she was instantly appointed Director of Social Media at her family’s firm.
Despite their obvious differences, the two ladies have some underlying commonalities. They both believe in the adage “Think strategically, act madly,” and they both have excellent instincts and acute intuition. When the two meet as executives, Go Ah In instantly draws Kang Han Na’s attention, and even as she conceals her claws, the heiress realizes the other woman is a force to be reckoned with.
It remains to be seen whether the two ladies will join forces and work together once they see one other’s talent and potential, or whether they will square off in a brutal struggle to the top.
“One major aspect that will be entertaining to keep an eye on in ‘Agency’ is Ah In and Han Na’s battle of wits—and how they’ll exploit one another to reach the top of their profession,” the drama’s creators teased. Will they be able to construct a womance for the ages, or will they quarrel and drive each other insane? Please keep an eye out for their interesting dynamic.”
The premiere of “Agency” will take place on January 7 at 10:30 p.m. KST.
The interesting chemistry between Lee Bo Young and Son Naeun has been revealed in JTBC’s forthcoming drama “Agency”.
