Ye-nam tries to woo the mayor away from Jenny with plates full of money (literally) and a party yacht with girls and drugs, but when one of the hired girls dies of an overdose, things spiral out of control. When we meet them, they’re playing a high-stakes game over who gets to control the mayor, and thus have a presidential candidate – and the international city development project - in her pocket. At the start, this plays out as the power struggle between the oldest daughter of Dae-oh Group, WIE YE-NAM ( Park Hee-bon), and Jenny.

Because in Secret Boutique, information is power, and Jenny seems to hold the most of it.Īt the crux of the drama is Jenny versus the chaebol family that took her in. What her “clients” don’t realize is that once she’s helped them, they’re essentially in her power.

What’s really happening, though, is that Jenny solves powerful people’s problems - and that means “dealing with” everything from scandals to murders. We’re told that it’s a boutique law firm that handles cases other firms can’t because they’re strictly confidential. J-Boutique is also Jenny’s law firm, so to speak, not that what she does has anything to do with upholding the law or justice. Jenny runs J-Boutique, which does a whole lot more than sell high-end merchandise. Twenty years later she’s arguably more powerful than the two daughters of the family, though all three run a separate piece of the conglomerate. Jenny went from scrubbing tubs in an exclusive bathhouse, to being thrust into the chaebol fire pit in which she now thrives. We learn that Jenny’s been involved with the Dae-oh chaebol group since her childhood, when KIM YEO-OK ( Jang Mi-hee) saw something in her, and took her in. When she enters the room, everyone is buzzing with the question, “Who is Jenny Jang?” - and that might just be the thesis statement of the drama. She’s got the sass and swagger, but also a depth behind her performance we quickly sense there’s a lot going on underneath the glamorous sheen of her demeanor. Kim Sun-ah is on fire here - I love her in this role so far. Our heroine is JENNY JANG ( Kim Sun-ah), and from the minute she appears on the screen, we know she’s a force to be reckoned with.
#REVIEW SECRETS BOUTIQUE PLUS#
The opening episodes feel a bit like Heartless City plus Mask - we’ve got the tightly woven layers of power, corruption, alliances, and loyalty, but set in a ruthless chaebol world where our heroine doesn’t exactly belong. It’s a little less melo than I expected, and a bit more action, intrigue, and female-strong badassery. SBS’s latest Wednesday-Thursday drama, Secret Boutique, made its premiere this week, and it’s bursting with noir-y goodness. Th.19 SeptemJanuSecret Boutique: Episodes 1-2 (Series review) by missvictrix I was looking forward to finally be able to buy some beautiful lingerie without having to lug around these on an entire drive. The hype was high when Victoria's would open in the heart of Stockholm. You have the right attitude when you walk into the store that is perfectly okay. Say what you want about Victoria's Secret but panties and bras are something I almost only buys here. Then I had to fiddle the little inferior models regardless. Now I have made my visit and I'm happy with it, and the only thing that could make me go back is if all my underwear for some strange reason just disappeared and I had to start from scratch. Service wise, so it began with all five girls stood and talked at the counter but then they came out and did their best. At the back of the room was that Nellie says some panties and that's not even the best models. The walls were full of perfumes, display of bags, some cool videos including "Angels" and in the Middle it was arranged shelves so dense that it was unable to pass any that checked on a lotion. Interior wise, is it really a small shop, I was surprised how small it actually was. The scent of perfume was heavy in the air and I get almost headache to think about it. Alone in the store I was not but it was me, two little lost older ladies and lots of teenage girls. So, I went past that by chance and decided to go in. Disappointment washed over me like a wet blanket, and I've not even bothered me on a visit. Then came the reports that it would not be a lingerie store, but be more for knickknacks such as perfumes, lotions and småtjafs.
