Bold developments unfolding around Jung Il-woo and Jung In-sun, and the intertwined, colorful stories of those around them, are capturing viewers' attention in living rooms.
KBS 2TV weekend drama Our Golden Days (directed by Kim Hyung-seok, written by So Hyun-kyung) combines brisk pacing and the performances of distinctive characters to deliver an explosive sense of immersion each episode. We collected the "best minutes" that instantly captured viewers' attention.
#Episode 9: Lee Ji-hyuk subdues debt collector targeting Ji Eun-o, delivering thrilling catharsis
In the 9th episode, Ji Eun-o (played by Jung In-sun) delivered a thrilling blow to living rooms with her satisfying action. Just as she once knocked out the senior who bullied her former friend Oh Soo-jung (played by Im Young-joo), this time she delivered a flying kick toward a debt collector who barged into the café. Eun-o's sudden action, unhesitating even in a crisis, drove minute ratings up to 16.7% (Nielsen Korea), drawing a heated response. Watching the situation, Lee Ji-hyuk (played by Jung Il-woo) also chased the debt collectors out decisively to prevent the situation from worsening, giving viewers catharsis, and this scene was counted among the broadcast's top moments.
#Episode 10: revealed birth secret! explosive tension with a shocking narrative
The highlight of episode 10 was undoubtedly the scene in which Eun-o's birth secret was revealed. Ji Kang-o (played by Yang Hyuk), who tried to steal a bankbook from mother Jeong Soon-hee (played by Kim Jung-young), found the family registry in a wardrobe and the shocking truth that Eun-o had been adopted as a legal child came to light. Moreover, when the fact that Eun-o's biological mother was none other than Go Sung-hee (played by Lee Tae-ran) was revealed, tension reached its peak. Then, seeing Eun-o throw her body to stop a hit-and-run, Sung-hee's shocking line "How pathetic. You mean a kid like that came out of my womb?" recorded minute ratings of 16.8% (Nielsen Korea), sending shivers through viewers.
Viewers responded enthusiastically with comments such as "I knew Kang-o would cause trouble in the end," "Eun-o's guts are no joke," "Kang-o is like that because his mother spoiled him too much," "I'm uneasy because it doesn't seem Lee Tae-ran found him out of affection...," and "The pace is fast so it's so fun. Dopamine rush."
In this way, Our Golden Days draws viewers with Jung Il-woo and Jung In-sun leading the story, the strong performances of the attractive main and supporting cast, and unpredictable plotlines. As more secrets and conflicts are revealed, viewers' anticipation is growing.
