The Virtual Bride

In an attempt to revive her plummeting celebrity career, former girl group member In-young joins a fictional reality television show called "The Virtual Bride," which pairs female idols with strict traditional families for a simulated mother-in-law and daughter-in-law experience. She is paired with Yang Choon-ja, the matriarch of a traditional head family who despises idols and traditional media. What starts as a contractual nightmare filled with grueling traditional chores and endless head-butting slowly transforms as the two women navigate the complexities of family, public scrutiny, and unexpected affection. As real cameras roll alongside hidden cameras, In-young must balance her ambitions in the entertainment industry with the genuine emotional bonds she forms in the countryside household.
