The Lee family in 'Our Golden Days' has taken their first steps towards new challenges in the face of harsh realities.
In the 7th and 8th episodes of KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'Our Golden Days' (directed by Kim Hyung-seok, written by So Hyun-kyeong), which aired on the 30th and 31st, the family's struggles to rejuvenate themselves, each in their own way, were portrayed. We have summarized the tumultuous life stories of these individuals.
#Journey for reclaiming life
Lee Ji-hyuk (played by Jung Il-woo) was called the company's ace due to his neat work performance and unique sense, but when a new hire caused trouble and ascended to the position of Deputy Minister through favoritism, Ji-hyuk felt disillusioned by the unfair reality and resigned. Afterward, he accepted a 'conditional marriage' proposal from the only daughter of a large client company, Jeong Bo-ah (played by Ko Won-hee), but his life was thrown into turmoil when the bride went missing on their wedding day. Viewers' interest is focused on whether Ji-hyuk can reclaim control of his lost life and eventually make a comeback.
#A re-challenge for life's second act
Lee Sang-cheol (played by Cheon Ho-jin) suffered a significant blow to his pride when the advisory role he was promised after retirement fell through. Further compounding his distress, he learned about the circumstances regarding his son Ji-hyuk's marriage, sending him into shock and anger. Confronting the repressed emotions of his son led him into chaos. After much conflict, he made efforts to forget Ji-hyuk, who had gone missing, and sought reemployment, but faced deep despair in the cold reality. Attention is on whether Sang-cheol can restore his shattered pride and find a new path.
#Unexpected opportunities for So-bin and Ji-wan beyond despair
Lee Soo-bin (played by Shin Soo-hyun) set her sights on becoming a millionaire YouTuber in her quest for a perfect husband. However, after experiencing humiliation for being unemployed during a blind date, she ignited an even stronger determination and sought change by featuring Ji-hyuk's close friend Park Sung-jae (played by Yoon Hyun-min) on her channel. Meanwhile, Lee Ji-wan (played by Son Sang-yeon) became suddenly unemployed after being dumped by his girlfriend due to his family's financial situation and getting fired from his job, but he found a turning point in his life by becoming a bodyguard and driver for Park Young-ra (played by Park Jeong-yeon), Sung-jae's sister, who was being stalked. The interest is on whether the two can overcome their individual wounds and forge new connections.
In this way, the Lee family in 'Our Golden Days' is writing their tumultuous life stories while facing reality in their own ways. Their diverse stories, spanning generations, provide deep empathy and interest to viewers, heightening anticipation for the developments to come.
