A still of actor Kwon Sang-woo and actress Choi Ji-woo was revealed on Sunday, hinting at a tragic romance between the costars of SBS’s new television series “Seduction.” 

The photo portrays the contrasting personalities of the two lovers. Choi Seok-hoon, played by Kwon, is plaintively looking out of the window, revealing a husband who is torn between two priorities.

The dry, cold-hearted heiress Yu Se-young, played by Choi Ji-woo, is standing with her head turned back halfway, hinting at hesitant feelings. She runs Dongsung Group on behalf of her ill father, as the “iron heiress” of the conglomerate.

“Seduction” is a romantic melodrama about financially embattled husband Cha Seok-hoon (Kwon), a naïve man from a rural village in Gangwon Province. Cha gets into the country’s best college despite his family’s economic plight, but long before his marriage, he ends up plunged into massive debt -– and finds himself torn by a tempting offer from a woman.

The Monday-Tuesday drama will air its first episode in the 10 p.m. slot on July 14, after the conclusion of “Doctor Stranger.”
