The actress shared her thoughts at the show’s press conference on December 10, held at MBC’s headquarters in Sangam, Seoul.
Having debuted in 1988 and built a long-standing career, Oh acknowledged that opportunities have become increasingly scarce amid the industry’s current slowdown.

One woman assumes another’s identity to seek vengeance, while the other steals a life to fulfill her own ambitions, setting the stage for a dramatic and high-stakes confrontation.
The drama’s core lies in the fierce, life-or-death conflict between these two characters, promising viewers a suspenseful and emotionally charged story. Oh Hyun-kyung’s participation adds depth and experience to the series, further raising anticipation for its release.
