Prepare for a thrilling ride as Jeon Yeo-been embarks on a dangerous game of deception in the upcoming Genie TV original series, 'The Poor Heir' (working title). Premiering on September 29th, the crime romance drama centers on Kim Young-ran (Jeon Yeo-been), a bodyguard who orchestrates a contract marriage with a terminally ill chaebol chairman, aiming for a complete life reset. With just three months left to achieve her goal, she must assume a new identity and survive amidst those eyeing the vast inheritance.

The main poster highlights Kim Young-ran's dramatic transformation, shedding her bodyguard persona for that of the seemingly perfect kindergarten teacher, Bu Se-mi. Despite her fashionable attire and a veneer of sophistication, her dry expression and the concealed weapon hint at a hidden, perilous reality. The tagline, '3 months left for a life reset. Don't die, kill,' underscores the intense psychological warfare and intricate relationships among the five key characters.

The poster also introduces the four individuals entangled in Kim Young-ran's web of lies: Jeon Dong-min (Jin Young), Lee Don (Seo Hyun-woo), Ga Seon-yeong (Jang Yoon-ju), and Baek Hye-ji (Joo Hyun-young). Dressed in black, their ambiguous gazes suggest they could be allies or adversaries in her perilous quest. The series premieres on September 29th at 10 PM on Channel ENA, with exclusive VOD releases on Genie TV and TVING.

Jeon Yeo-been has consistently impressed audiences with her versatile performances in dramas like 'Be Melodramatic' and 'Vincenzo'.

In 'The Poor Heir', she takes on the challenging role of a bodyguard forced to adopt a new identity to survive, promising a blend of intense action and nuanced emotional portrayal.

Fans are eagerly anticipating her portrayal of this complex character, expecting another career-defining performance.
