Kim So-yeon wants to sell you adult toys in new teaser

Promo has begun for JTBC’s upcoming ensemble comedy A Virtuous Business. In the released teaser and script reading stills, we’re introduced to our housewife Kim So-yeon (Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938) and her friends Kim Sun-young (Queen of Divorce), Kim Sung-ryung (Love to Hate You), and Lee Se-hee (Bad Prosecutor) as they take life into their own hands and start selling adult products door-to-door.

The year is 1992, a pre-Victoria Secret era. We open our housewife Han Jung-sook (Kim So-yeon) as she sends her son off to school so she can go sell her wares. It’s the nineties, so the go-to marketing strategy is house group demonstrations a la tupperware and Mary Kay. As she pours her visitors tea and starts her sales pitch, all seems completely normal. That is, until her colleague wheels out a rack of lingerie to the gaping mouths of her guests. Nope, that’s not a necklace, Jung-sook explains, that’s a thong.

Despite the shock of their audience, the salesladies press on, confidently declaring over a montage of product demonstrations, “Women want to express their sexuality too. It’s our right.”

As homemakers with children, each of our foursome turned to door-to-door selling as a way to make ends meet. But with sex-talk being rare and successful working women even rarer, they may have an uphill battle ahead of them before they can make any sales. Thankfully, what they do have in spades is firey determination, and based on the way Jung-sook smiles innocently while holding up a sex toy in one scene and ferociously screams into the air in another, these ladies will to whatever it takes to make it in this business.

Written by Choi Bo-rim (My Roommate is a Gumiho), and directed by Jo Woong (Love All Play), The Virtuous Business will air sometime in October on JTBC.

I know it could either be really funny with great friendships overcoming tough times Reply 1988, and Dear My friends style or it could be in your face coarse and unwatchable. I will look at the rest of the trailers to see if it is one I can watch.

Is it possible for somebody to be succesful and award winning while still being underrated?

Because i kind of..... think that Kim So-yeon fits that bill, at least compared to other actresses in her age group/generation.

I like this cast and im definately giving this a chance

That's an interesting premise! I wonder where this is going … there's a huge difference between a woman expressing her sexuality and a woman simply catering to the male gaze.
But I'm looking forward to hear her roar :)

I will go with it being a fun fact. 😂 Thanks for sharing.

I hope the drama vibe is more light fun and engaging than uncomfortable and unwatchable.

This sounds like a country-fried, elongated version of the 2015 movie "Casa Amor: Exclusive For Ladies."

This kdrama is going to be an adaptation of the British ITV "Brief Encounters" which was loosely based on Ann Summers Parties set in 1980s. The characters so far seem the same. Its a very short series(6 episodes) so please avoid looking up if you want to avoid spoilers.

The set-up for this story reminds me of Jo Yeo-jung’s 2015 sex comedy film CASA AMOR: EXCLUSIVE FOR LADIES. I hope it will have as much humor as that film.

A good sex comedy is such a unicorn. But when done well it is perfect.
