The highlight video of 'Our Golden Days' has been released.
KBS 2TV's new weekend drama 'Our Golden Days' (directed by Kim Hyung-seok / written by So Hyun-kyeong / produced by Studio Coming Soon, Studio Bom, Monster Union) tells the story of family melodrama resonating with different generations about the beautiful days everyone has. Now, in the present, in the past, or in the future.
The highlight video released on the 5th (today) stimulates viewers' curiosity with the tense love triangle between Lee Ji-hyuk (played by Jung Il-woo), Ji Eun-oh (played by Jung In-sun), and Park Sung-jae (played by Yoon Hyun-min). Ji-hyuk, like Sung-jae's remark that "Ji-hyuk is a guy who loves himself too much and wants to live a life just for himself," enjoys a free life full of various hobbies. Also, with Eun-oh's statement, "There are no measures for things I like," her passionate approach to both work and love continues. A romance between the two people of opposing natures is expected to be difficult, but the presence of Sung-jae, who lingers around Eun-oh, creates a peculiar atmosphere among the three, making it impossible for potential viewers to look away.
The realistic daily life of the Lee family, who all became unemployed, is also depicted. From Lee Sang-cheol (played by Chun Ho-jin), who retired, to Ji-hyuk, who left voluntarily, Lee Ji-wan (played by Son Sang-yeon), who was forcibly dismissed, and Lee Soo-bin (played by Shin Soo-hyun), who is effectively unemployed, and Jo Ok-rye (played by Ban Hyo-jung), who feels distant from employment due to her age. The Lee family strives to survive amidst an unstable reality, evoking empathy from various age groups and vividly showing the issues and realities faced by each generation.
Unexpected connections are also noteworthy. Ji-wan, at Sung-jae's request, takes on the role of the driver and bodyguard for his sister Park Young-ra (played by Park Jeong-yeon), hinting at a new chemistry. Eun-oh also finds herself at a crossroads when she receives a request for a large interior design from Go Sung-hee (played by Lee Tae-ran). On the other hand, Sung-jae is pressured into marriage by his father Park Jin-seok (played by Park Seong-geun), falling into deep contemplation. The newly intertwined relationships and unpredictable developments add intrigue and tension to the drama.
The precarious Lee family finally experiences a crack with the sudden appearance of a bundle of cash. Unlike the previously harmonious atmosphere, quarrels and conflicts arise, heightening the tension. Particularly, the scene of Sang-cheol, whose re-employment fell through, laboring hard at a logistics center and his words, "When did I ever say to you to worry about living expenses? I'm your father. I'm the head of the family," showcase his sense of responsibility and burden as the head of the family, delivering a profound resonance to viewers. Following this, Ji-hyuk, who holds back tears, and Kim Da-jung (played by Kim Hee-jeong) vividly portray the weight of reality they endure, eliciting empathy.
The video concludes with Ji-hyuk, who was previously an anti-marriage advocate, getting married. The shocked expressions of Eun-oh and Sung-jae at Ji-hyuk's marriage announcement raise curiosity about what prompted him to decide to marry.
'Our Golden Days' is the second collaboration between writer So Hyun-kyeong and director Kim Hyung-seok, who previously gained great popularity with 'My Golden Life,' which approached a viewership rate of 45.1%. As a follow-up to 'For Eagle Brothers,' it will premiere on the 9th (Saturday) at 8 p.m.
