On the 18th, the production team of the Genie TV original drama Lies Hidden in My Garden (directed by Jung Ji Hyun) unveiled still cuts of Kim Sung Oh. Lies Hidden in My Garden is a suspense thriller based on the eponymous bestselling novel. It depicts two women who meet due to a strange smell from the backyard, completely changing their lives.
In the drama, Kim Sung Oh takes on the role of Jang Jae Ho, a perfectionist doctor who is Joo Ran's husband and runs a children's hospital. Jae Ho, who used to live a picturesque life with his beautiful wife, Joo Ran, in a perfect house, starts to experience conflicts when Joo Ran claims to smell a corpse from the backyard. In the midst of this, Kim Sung Oh is expected to enhance the mysterious atmosphere of the drama by portraying a man who hides his tender husbandly side and cold facade, showcasing his presence as a "thriller expert."
In the released still cuts, Kim Sung Oh exudes a sophisticated charm in the attire of a gentle doctor. Furthermore, he sets up an ideal breakfast, like a brunch cafe, and converses with his son while sitting at the dining table. The affectionate and caring image of Kim Sung Oh is clearly evident as he naturally accompanies his adolescent middle school son, maintaining eye contact and having conversations.
On the other hand, the sight of Kim Sung Oh standing alone in the empty backyard creates intrigue. Particularly, he gazes down at something with a chilling expression that contrasts sharply with the previously shown gentle face. This raises curiosity about what Kim Sung Oh has discovered in the yard and draws attention to his intriguing duality, injecting tension into the drama.
The production team of Lies Hidden in My Garden expressed their confidence, saying, "Regardless of the genre, we are thrilled to have the presence of talented actor Kim Sung Oh in the drama. Kim Sung Oh perfectly portrays the duality that teeters on edge between protection and control towards his wife, Kim Tae Hee, infusing every moment with intense tension. With the power of Kim Sung Oh's performance, we hope that Lies Hidden in My Garden will showcase the essence of a well-made thriller. We ask for your high expectations and interest in the drama."
Lies Hidden in My Garden will be released on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA starting June 19th.
