Actress Lee Young-ae steps into the ironic world of taboo through 'Eunsu's Good Day.'
The new KBS 2TV Saturday-Sunday mini-series 'Eunsu's Good Day' (directed by Song Hyun-wook, written by Jeon Young-sin), set to premiere in September, tells the story of a parent, Kang Eunsu, who wants to protect her family, and a two-faced teacher, Lee Kyung, who unexpectedly becomes embroiled in a dangerous partnership due to a bag of drugs they come across.
Lee Young-ae's character, 'Kang Eunsu,' was an ordinary mother living a normal life but was suddenly pushed to the brink due to her husband's deteriorating health and financial bankruptcy. In the midst of this, a suspicious bag left behind by someone entangles her in an unexpected partnership with her daughter's after-school art teacher, Lee Kyung (played by Kim Young-kwang), ultimately crossing the line of taboo. Lee Young-ae aims to portray a character placed in extreme circumstances with both strength and deep emotional undertones, revealing a new side never seen before.
The teaser poster released today (24th) features an image of Lee Young-ae, inverted in a state of weightlessness, set against a backdrop of an endlessly blue sky. The poster perfectly captures Eunsu's smile amid hope, resignation, and liberation, as well as the weight of life and the emotional cracks she endures.
In particular, the phrase, 'Which was worse, then or now?' which crosses the center of the poster, symbolically reveals Eunsu's precarious psychology at a crossroads of confusion and choice. It raises curiosity about what direction her choices will lead her life and what awaits her at the end.
The production team noted, 'This teaser poster visually represents the turning point in Eunsu's life.' They added, 'With seasoned actress Lee Young-ae portraying the process of a character who collapses and rises again, just following that deep narrative will provide a significant emotional immersion.'
'Eunsu's Good Day' is a well-made work that brings together director Song Hyun-wook, recognized as a master of detail across various genres, and screenwriter Jeon Young-sin, noted for her high-density realism and exquisite writing skills. Along with the three main stars Lee Young-ae, Kim Young-kwang, and Park Yong-woo, a stellar cast including Bae Soo-bin, Jo Yeon-hee, and Hwang Jae-yeol adds to its anticipation as one of the most highly awaited works for the latter half of the year.
