MBC has just released new stills for the upcoming daily drama, and the tension between its two leads is already electric before a single episode has aired.

A Daughter Branded Before She Could Even Speak
Family Register tells the story of a child who is branded from birth as the person responsible for destroying a family — and a woman who fights against society’s prejudice and a cruel fate to reclaim her life.
Na Ji Ni (Park Se Young) was born to a renowned cellist mother and a director father, but has spent her entire life carrying the stigma of being labeled the illegitimate child whose existence destroyed a family due to her parents’ affair. Her gaze, even with a bandage on her forehead, reflects both a firm determination not to be shaken and a deep sense of hurt that has never fully healed. soompi
It’s the kind of premise that cuts right to the heart — a woman punished her whole life for a choice she never made. This theme of inherited shame and social prejudice is deeply rooted in Korean family culture, where the family register (호적) has historically been used to formally document lineage and legitimacy, carrying enormous social weight.
Han Go Eun’s Ruthless Mother Is the Villain You Won’t Be Able to Look Away From
Na Se Ri (Han Go Eun) is a cellist with the National Symphony Orchestra — a woman who relentlessly pursues her ambitions. Dressed in a black gown and exuding elegance, she reveals an unwavering obsession with success through her piercing gaze. Na Se Ri is a mother who has spent her life chasing her desires, while Na Ji Ni is the daughter born as a result of those desires, forced to confront the consequences of that fate head-on.
Although the two women share a similarly elegant appearance and presence, there is no trace of warmth between them — instead, a palpable distance hangs between them despite sitting across from one another in the same space. That visual storytelling alone speaks volumes about the layered conflict ahead. soompi
The production team expressed hopes that viewers will look forward to the powerful acting synergy created by a daughter who fights against society’s prejudice and a mother who refuses to give up on her ambitions.
