[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

TvN's new series "Mine" took off to a positive start, Saturday, scoring the network's sixth-highest viewership rating for a series premiere.

Directed by Lee Na-jeong, whose works include KBS's "Fight for My Way" and Netflix's "Love Alarm," the drama revolves around two daughters-in-law ― Seo-hyun (Kim Seo-hyung) and Hee-soo (Lee Bo-young) ― of a high-profile conglomerate owner family. Amid the lying and cheating behind the family's front of an affluent lifestyle, the two battle against prejudice to find their own identities.

The series is penned by writer Baek Mi-kyung, who is known for the TV series "Strong Girl Bong-soon" and "The Lady in Dignity."
