Kim Geum-soon, Transformation from 'Building Owner' to Real Estate Tycoon Jeon Yang-ja... The 'Key Variable' that Shook Ha Jung-woo and Kim Jun-han's Plans

Actress Kim Geum-soon has transformed into an extraordinary real estate tycoon in tvN's new weekend drama 'How to Become a Building Owner in South Korea' (hereafter 'Building Owner'), captivating viewers as the central figure of tension in the early episodes.

The Elegant Entrance of a Real Estate Tycoon and a Chilling Resolve... Breaking the Narrative's Flow

'Building Owner' is a suspense drama depicting the story of a struggling building owner who, in debt, dives into a fake kidnapping scheme to protect his family and property. Kim Geum-soon plays Jeon Yang-ja, the mother of Jeon Yi-kyung (Jung Soo-jung) and the mother-in-law of Min Hwal-seong (Kim Jun-han), marking the beginning of significant conflict.

In the first episode, Jeon Yang-ja made her debut with elegant white hair styling and a relaxed demeanor, exuding a unique aura befitting a person of wealth and influence. Particularly, within the plan of Min Hwal-seong, who designed a fake kidnapping scheme targeting his wife to pay off loan sharks, Jeon Yang-ja emerged as a key figure overturning the dynamics of the drama, transcending the role of a mere victim's family.

"In Transactions, It's All About Momentum"... Unpredictable Moves that Confounded Kidnapper Ha Jung-woo

In the second episode, Jeon Yang-ja's distinctive character shone brightly. Upon receiving a threatening text from the disguised kidnapper Ki Soo-jong (Ha Jung-woo), instead of panicking, she boldly stated, "In transactions, what's important is momentum," and took direct action.

After a brief shock at seeing her daughter through a video call, Jeon Yang-ja's efforts to negotiate a lower ransom amount elicited a strange chuckle amidst the potentially heavy suspense. Above all, despite her son-in-law Min Hwal-seong's objections, she decisively involved the police, instantly throwing the carefully constructed fake kidnapping scheme of Ki Soo-jong and Min Hwal-seong into chaos.

A Character Completed with an Overwhelming Atmosphere... Heightened Anticipation for Future Developments

Kim Geum-soon portrayed the strength of Jeon Yang-ja with a resolute gaze and restrained emotional acting. Her cold demeanor, balancing concern for her daughter's safety with a business-like profit calculation, enhanced the clarity of the character, and the unintended variations she created elevated the drama's tension to its peak.

With her unique presence responsible for the density of the early narrative, attention is drawn to how Kim Geum-soon will continue to perform in unpredictable situations. tvN's 'How to Become a Building Owner in South Korea' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM.
