With just 5 days to go until its first broadcast, 'Our Golden Days' takes a closer look at the intriguing main character relationships.
The new weekend drama 'Our Golden Days' on KBS 2TV (directed by Kim Hyung-seok, written by So Hyun-kyeong, produced by Studio Coming Soon, Studio Bom, Monster Union) tells a generational resonant family melo story about how 'everyone has their own golden days. Whether it's now, in the past, or in the future, we encounter golden days filled with different meanings.'
In the drama, Lee Ji-hyuk (played by Jung Il-woo) is a staunch advocate for single life, prioritizing his own life over marriage. For him, the biggest obstacle is his father, Lee Sang-cheol (played by Cheon Ho-jin). The father-son duo, who clash continuously due to differing values, ultimately face an irreparable conflict over marriage issues. Additionally, he becomes tangled in a complicated love triangle involving his long-time friend Park Sung-jae (played by Yoon Hyun-min) and his longtime crush Ji Eun-oh (played by Jung In-sun). As curiosity mounts over how Ji-hyuk will navigate these unpredictable conflicts and relationships, a look back at the intricate connections and relationships in 'Our Golden Days' is presented before its broadcast.
#1. Staunch advocate for single life Jung Il-woo vs. anti-single marriage Cheon Ho-jin
As a representative of the MZ generation, Ji-hyuk values enjoying his life over marriage. However, Sang-cheol, who holds equally strong beliefs, struggles to understand his son. The two fathers, who have clashed over marriage issues numerous times, inevitably experience irreparable conflicts due to a series of events. The tension from the differing struggles of two men from different generations is expected to add suspense to the drama.
#2. Friendship and love: The intersecting romantic relationship of 'Jung Il-woo, Jung In-sun, Yoon Hyun-min'
Their friendship began in school when Ji-hyuk saved Sung-jae, who was being bullied. Ji-hyuk and Sung-jae are best friends who know each other's circumstances better than anyone else and have maintained a strong bond. However, cracks started to form in their solid friendship when Eun-oh entered the picture. Eun-oh, a junior in Ji-hyuk's university club, has long harbored a crush on him and stays quiet about her feelings even after learning he's an advocate for single life. However, the one drawn to the positive and bright Eun-oh is Sung-jae. Taking on the role of 'the Man from Nowhere,' he quietly supports Eun-oh but gradually starts to reveal his feelings, complicating their love triangle even further.
#3. The employment challenges of three generations of jobless individuals: The family's solidarity towards 'Our Golden Days'
Sang-cheol, who was set to retire with everyone's congratulations and re-employ as a consultant in the same industry, becomes increasingly anxious as the job falls through. Meanwhile, Ji-hyuk throws in his resignation due to unfair treatment at work, and his younger brother Lee Ji-wan (played by Son Sang-yeon) loses his job due to complaints from gym members. Their youngest sister Lee Su-bin (played by Shin Su-hyeon), despite being a YouTuber, is treated as unemployed and dismissed. Eventually, Sang-cheol's wife Kim Da-jeong (played by Kim Hee-jung) and Sang-cheol's mother Jo Ok-rye (played by Ban Hyo-jung) also enter the job market for the family. Curiosity arises about how this family of three generations, who suddenly become completely jobless, will comfort each other and overcome their crisis.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's new weekend drama 'Our Golden Days' will premiere on Saturday, Aug. 9, at 8 p.m., as a follow-up to 'For Eagle Brothers.'
