JTBC has unveiled a new teaser for its upcoming drama “A Virtuous Business”!
A remake of the British television series “Brief Encounters,” “A Virtuous Business” will tell the story of the independence, growth, and friendship of four women who delve into door-to-door sales of adult products in a rural village back in 1992, when it was still taboo to talk about sex. The new teaser begins with Han Jung Sook (Kim So Yeon) introducing the products she has for sale by stating, “They aren’t just ordinary underwear.”
The video then flashes back to Jung Sook’s struggles before starting her new business: because of her good-for-nothing husband, who is constantly in and out of the police station due to getting into fights, Jung Sook has to strive to make ends meet by taking on various side jobs and working as a cleaner. In the end, even though she herself can’t believe it, Jung Sook finally turns to selling adult products in order to make rent and provide for her son.
Meanwhile, the elegant and intelligent Oh Geum Hee (Kim Sung Ryung) isn’t struggling financially, but she is bored with her life as a housewife. Due to her conservative husband, Geum Hee is stuck at home all day—and though she tries taking up floral arranging as a hobby, it doesn’t interest her much. When she uses her skills as a former English literature major to help Jung Sook read the English instructions for adult products, Geum Hee winds up becoming the brains behind Jung Sook’s new business.
Rounding out the team are the passionate Seo Young Bok (Kim Sun Young) and the brutally honest Lee Joo Ri (Lee Se Hee), who isn’t afraid to wear “scandalous fashion” no matter what the village elders may say about her style.
As the four women come together, they confidently declare, “If the four of us team up, I think we’ll definitely able to achieve something.”
“A Virtuous Business” will premiere in October. In the meantime, check out the new teaser below!
