Actor Kim Young-kwang from 'Walking On Thin Ice' is starting a double life that balances light and shadow.
The new KBS 2TV weekend miniseries 'Walking On Thin Ice', which is set to air its first broadcast on Sept. 20 at 9:20 p.m., depicts the story of a parent, Kang Eun-soo, who wants to protect her family, and a teacher with two faces, Lee Kyung, who, after receiving an unexpected drug bag, embarks on a perilous and desperate partnership.
In the drama, Kim Young-kwang plays the role of Lee Kyung, a popular after-school art instructor from a prestigious university by day and a mysterious club managing director by night. He appears to be a kind teacher who is adored by female students at the middle school his daughter, Su-ah (played by Lee Young-ae), attends. However, beneath that exterior lies a character shrouded in secrets regarding his name and age. After receiving a partnership proposal from Eun-soo, Lee Kyung hides his relationship as a parent and teacher to become entangled with her as a dangerous partner. Kim Young-kwang is expected to maximize the viewers' immersion through a tense psychological battle and breathtaking acting with Lee Young-ae.
The first stills released today (6th) show the warm appearance of after-school art instructor Lee Kyung, who gazes at students with a sunny smile, as well as Kim Young-kwang's sharply contrasting two faces as a club managing director. In a neat shirt, with a pure gaze and gentle smile, he displays the warm and youthful charm of an art student, evoking a sense of excitement.
Kim Young-kwang completed the cold and sophisticated night persona with a black leather jacket, horn-rimmed glasses, and slicked-back hairstyle. His chill and steady gaze revealed in the city lights adds a mysterious charm to the character Lee Kyung. Curiosity arises about why he chose a life of dual identities and what stories are hidden behind them.
The production team noted, "Kim Young-kwang has delicately expressed the sharpness hidden behind his bright smile and the cold tension when facing danger," and added, "The narrative of Lee Kyung, who moves between day and night, light and shadow, will provide viewers with thrilling suspense and an irresistible draw."
'Walking On Thin Ice' is a well-made work created through the collaboration of director Song Hyun-wook, recognized as a master of detail across various genres, and writer Jeon Young-shin, who boasts a high level of realism with her delicate writing skills. The cast includes Lee Young-ae, Kim Young-kwang, Park Yong-woo, as well as Bae Soo-bin, Jo Yeon-hee, and Hwang Jae-yeol.
