MBC's latest drama featuring popular actors Choi Ji woo and Joo Jin mo was expected to premiere on Monday, 19 September, but it has been postponed by a week.
According to the current schedule, Woman With A Suitcase will telecast episode 1 on Monday, 26 September at 21:55 pm (KST), and will continue to air episodes at the same time on Mondays and Tuesdays. This slot on MBC was earlier occupied by the Kang Ji hwan and Sung Yu ri-starrer Monster. It is understood that the reshuffle in the schedule of telecast was caused by the Summer Olympics 2016.
The first script reading for this legal drama was held at the MBC Broadcasting Station in Sangam on Tuesday, 9 August, and it became immediately evident that Ji woo and Jin mo have palpable chemistry. In the show, the duo will be seen playing the roles of Cha Geum joo, the titular Woman With A Suitcase, and Ham Bok geo, her love interest, respectively.
