Jin Seon and Kim Jeong-young, along with Yang Hyuk, unite as a unique family in 'Glamorous Days,' adding vitality to the drama.
KBS 2TV's new weekend drama 'Glamorous Days' (directed by Kim Hyung-seok / written by Seo Hyun-kyeong / produced by Studio Coming Soon, Studio Spring, Monster Union) is a family melodrama about 'the shared feelings of generations regarding glamorous days that everyone has. Whether now, in the past, or in the future, we encounter glamorous days that hold different meanings.'
'Glamorous Days' revealed stills of the family of Jin Seon (playing Ji Eun-o), Kim Jeong-young (playing Jeong Soon-hee), and Yang Hyuk (playing Ji Kang-o) on the 23rd (today), raising anticipation for their intricate storyline.
◆ 'Professional multitasker' Ji Eun-o's struggle to survive as the head of the family
Cheerful and positive, Ji Eun-o (played by Jin Seon) has taken on the role of the family head since the family's fortunes waned. Currently, she lives as a cafe manager and interior designer while managing an office, and intermittently helps her mother Jeong Soon-hee (played by Kim Jeong-young) at her shop, leading the life of a 'professional multitasker.' Despite the harsh realities, Eun-o does not give up on her dream of being an interior designer and tackles life's challenges in her own way. Her struggles are expected to evoke warm empathy and support among viewers.
◆ A beloved daughter vs. a troublesome son, a wavering maternal love?
In the drama, Kim Jeong-young portrays Eun-o's mother Jeong Soon-hee, illustrating the complex emotions of motherhood. Having lost her husband, Soon-hee now relies on Eun-o for financial support. Although Eun-o sometimes feels like a head of the family and sometimes a friend, she is frustrated with her son Kang-o, who often causes trouble. When Kang-o gets into an accident, Soon-hee finds herself at a crossroads between Eun-o and Kang-o, leading to emotional conflict and confusion that could impact Eun-o's life and the drama's progression.
◆ The precarious story of love and resentment in a family
Eun-o's younger brother Ji Kang-o, portrayed by Yang Hyuk, is a naturally discontent and troublemaking character. Due to being constantly compared to his sister Eun-o throughout his life, Kang-o harbors deep feelings of inferiority. Ultimately, he stands at the center of conflict when he decides to use Eun-o to receive a large sum of money. Consequently, Soon-hee cannot turn away from her wandering son Kang-o, causing her to waver. The intertwined complexities of the three portray the hidden truths and wounds under the name of family, promising to resonate deeply with the audience.
In this way, the Ji Eun-o family will ask the true meaning of family through love, conflict, wounds, and reconciliation, providing profound emotional resonance in the drama.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's new weekend drama 'Glamorous Days' is set to premiere on Aug. 9 (Saturday) at 8 p.m., following 'For Eagle Brothers.'
