The preview photos of JTBC’s “Slave Women” were released on Tuesday, hinting a fast-paced romantic development between the two lead characters.

Starring actor Oh Ji-ho and Jung Yu-mi, the period action rom-com will apparently roll out a kissing scene in the very first episode, as the still photos show.

The period drama portrays the love story about swordsman Moomyung (Oh) and mademoiselle-turned-slave Guk In-yeop (Jung) of the Joseon era, spiced up by ample action scenes and frizzles of humor.

Moomyung is an excellent swordsman and member of the secret resistance organization Manwoldang. Under the mission to reconstruct the fallen Korean dynasty, Moomyung disguises himself as a slave.

In-yeop is the only daughter of a powerful royal courtier of Joseon’s founder. Her family falls to the lowest social class after her father is set up in a political scheme and dies.

The Friday night drama will launch on Dec. 12 at 9:45 p.m.
