Korean actors Han So-hee, Lee Soo-hyuk and Cha Eun-woo cast magic with their visuals and talent yet again in The Villainess is a Marionette episode 2 teaser. Dubbed as the "Visual Trio," the latest promo shows a glimpse of the lead pair’s budding romance and a manipulative brother’s tactics.
Kakao Page posted a trailer on October 11 of the second episode titled The Most Dangerous Obsession Begins. It kicks off with Han So-hee’s character, Princess Kayena, noticing Cha Eun-woo’s Duke Raffaello Kidrey at a royal event. She seems to have her eyes set on the Duke. As soon as Kidrey notices her and tries to take a step towards her, Lee Soo-hyuk’s Prince Regef emerges to remind her of her place.
Prince Regef, who is an extremely controlling, obsessive and manipulative brother, would go to any lengths to puppet his sister. The second episode will presumably delve deeper into the manipulative and toxic sibling relationship, while also showcasing a strong grasp of Prince Regef.
Fans wish Han So-hee, Cha Eun-woo and Lee Soo-hyuk to feature in The Villainess is a Marionette web series
Fans were bowled over by the visuals of the trio ever since the first teaser posters of The Villainess is a Marionette were released. As Princess Kayena, Duke Kidrey and Prince Regef, the three actors perfectly blended in with the webtoon, garnering immense praise and appreciation from original webtoon readers too.
The teaser posters, episode trailers and behind-the-scenes videos raised some confusion regarding the trio featuring in the show together. However, Kakaopage made it clear earlier that it was only “second personas” and there would not be a web series. The trio were only roped in to market the webtoon.
Fans now have their hearts set on the possibility of the trio wreaking havoc on screen. The visual and romantic chemistry between Han So-hee and Cha Eun-woo became the talk of the town once again. Lee Soo-hyuk was also given spotlight, as he was praised for his acting skills.
