In the latest episode of KBS 2's weekend drama 'Our Golden Days,' aired on the 16th, viewers witnessed the unfolding trials of the Lee family.
Oh Ji-eun, played by Jung In-sun, confided in her friend Oh Soo-jung, portrayed by Lim Young-joo, about the end of her relationship with Lee Ji-hyuk, played by Jung Il-woo. Despite the breakup, Soo-jung was surprised to see Ji-hyuk and Eun-oh conversing casually at a café, as if nothing had happened. Although Eun-oh tried to appear composed, she couldn't shake off Ji-hyuk's words that they were not a good match, evoking sympathy from the audience.
Upon learning that Ji-hyuk rejected Eun-oh's confession, Park Sung-jae, played by Yoon Hyun-min, was furious. Ji-hyuk, on the other hand, couldn't understand why Sung-jae, who also liked Eun-oh, helped her confess. This misunderstanding escalated into a conflict, hinting at the beginning of a love triangle.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo-bin, the youngest daughter of Lee Sang-chul, played by Shin Soo-hyun, faced humiliation during a matchmaking date for being unemployed. Lee Ji-wan, the second son, portrayed by Son Sang-yeon, was also shocked when his girlfriend announced her plans to marry another man.
Ji-hyuk confronted Sang-chul about returning compensation money to Chairman Choi, revealing he knew about Sang-chul's failed reemployment attempt. Sang-chul, feeling ashamed, raised his voice and left. Despite returning the money and wishing for Chairman Choi's recovery, the bitter reality of Sang-chul's situation evoked pity.
Adding to the drama, it was revealed that the new employee, Oh Jae-jin, played by Kim Jin-woo, is the only son of the vice president. As the 'parachute director,' he ordered Ji-hyuk to collect wedding gifts, humiliating him and prompting Ji-hyuk to resign in anger. With both Sang-chul and Ji-hyuk now unemployed, the uncertainty of their future looms large.
Towards the end of the episode, Eun-oh asked Ji-hyuk, "What doesn't suit me?" to which he replied, "It's important that I can never be in a romantic relationship with you, nor do I want to," intensifying the conflict. Amidst the chaos, Jung Bo-ah, played by Go Won-hee, shocked Ji-hyuk with an unexpected marriage proposal after hearing about his resignation, leaving viewers in suspense.
