'Remarriage and Desires': Why Kim Hee Sun's New Drama is Worth the Binge
Netflix released all eight episodes in one go giving viewers a perfect time to binge-watch the series.
Helmed by "Secret Royal Inspector" director Kim Jung Min and penned by Lee Geun Young of the 2015 K-drama "My Mother is a Daughter-In-Law," "Remarriage and Desires" is all about power and revenge and sees marriage, not as a union between two people with genuine love but treats it as a business.
With the help of elite matchmaking company Rex, run by the CEO Choi Yoo Sun (Cha Ji Yeon,) they are responsible for finding individuals and their potential partners.
However, that is not the case for the protagonist Seo Hye Seung (Kim Hee Sun.) After her world tumbles because of her husband's mistress, she promises to avenge the death of Kang Nam Sik (Kwon Hyuk) by getting back at the person who ruined her family's life.
The feisty lawyer, Jin Yoo Hee (Jung Eugene) uses her charm to seduce men and makes them fall in love with her. Little did they know that she is about to steal her wealth and leaves them in the dust.
As for Seo Hye Seung, she decides to enter Rex to stop her from victimizing other people and doing what she did to her husband.
Jin Yoo Hee's new target is the Hibull CEO Lee Hyung Ju (Lee Hyun Wook) a divorcee, a single father, and a young wealthy self-made billionaire.
Besides Kim Hee Sun, Jung Eugene, and Lee Hyung Ju, Park Hoon also joins Netflix's "Remarriage and Desires" as Seo Hye Seung's former lover.
