Actress Jang Seo-hee marks the beginning of a revenge saga as she transforms into a nanny for the massive Cheongma Group, erasing both her name and her past. The new daily drama 'Trap of Desire' (written by Koo Ji-won, directed by Lee Dae-kyung and Jung Kwang-soo), which premieres on KBS 2TV on the 10th at 7:50 PM, tells the story of a woman whose life was completely stolen by a false murder accusation, as she fights against overwhelming greed to reclaim her destiny.

The first encounter between Ju Mi-ran, hiding her identity, and the unsuspecting Go Eun-seol

On the 9th, just one day before the premiere, the production team released still cuts showcasing the relationship between Ju Mi-ran (played by Jang Seo-hee) and Go Eun-seol (played by Jeon Hye-won). In the released photos, the two meet in an unexpected setting, connected through Kang Hae-ra (played by Joo Sae-byeok). While Ju Mi-ran maintains a kind demeanor toward Go Eun-seol, who is a friend of Kang Hae-ra, she feels a strange sense of dissonance and suspicion the moment she faces the unfamiliar face of Go Eun-seol. A precarious psychological battle flows between the two, creating palpable tension.

In contrast, Go Eun-seol treats Ju Mi-ran with a bright smile, completely unaware of her true identity. Having lived an ordinary life under the love of her adoptive parents, Go Eun-seol's peaceful daily routine begins to shake with the arrival of Ju Mi-ran. For Ju Mi-ran, Go Eun-seol acts as the biggest variable that could disrupt the meticulous plan she has long been designing. Ultimately, the two are expected to become entangled in an unavoidable confrontation.

What is the true purpose of the nanny infiltrating Cheongma Group?

The core premise of the drama lies in why Ju Mi-ran abandoned her past to choose the role of a 'nanny,' a position belonging to someone else. After her life collapsed following a false murder accusation, Ju Mi-ran infiltrated the massive organization known as Cheongma Group to seek revenge. While she appears to be a nanny caring for a child on the surface, a clear objective toward Cheongma Group is hidden beneath. The reason she chose such a perilous life, even discarding her own name, will unfold at a rapid pace from the very first episode.

The production team stated that this work will heighten immersion by quickly unraveling the hidden stories and relationships of the characters. Jang Seo-hee and Jeon Hye-won will heighten the drama's tension through two characters with vastly different temperaments. 'Trap of Desire' follows 'Red Pearl,' presenting a new revenge narrative to home viewers.
