With sophisticated set designs and stellar performances from its cast and crew, new South Korean mini-series Mrs Durian debuted on TV and streaming platforms in June 2023, garnering considerable attention and high ratings. The drama is produced by Barunson Studio and Hi Ground, the former known for its diverse content production with accolades that include award-winning film Parasite, as well as Mother and Seven Years of Darkness.
Mrs Durian follows the tale of two households intertwined across past lives and present, transcending modern-day South Korea and the Joseon era through a time-slip narrative. Viewers are privy to the intriguing relationship and dynamics between the Dan family– plutocrats who represent the upper echelons of society – and the noble but humble Kim family, characterised by the formality and etiquette of the past.
Viewers have praised Mrs Durian’s immersive storytelling and the script, delivered by a talented cast comprising K-drama stalwarts Park Joo-mi, Choi Myung-gil, Kim Min-jun and Han Da-gam. Their impeccable performances play out amidst a grandiose backdrop of meticulously designed sets; a grand stage to play out the show’s key themes of love, family, and honour.
