In the latest episode of KBS 2TV's weekend mini-series 'Eunsoo's Good Day,' Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang's characters embark on a risky business venture. The second episode, which aired on the 21st at 9:20 PM, showcased the unfolding of a dangerous deal between Kang Eunsoo (played by Lee Young-ae) and Lee Kyung (played by Kim Young-kwang). According to Nielsen Korea, the episode garnered a viewership rating of 3.4% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 3.3% nationwide.
In the episode, Eunsoo and Lee Kyung, each holding leverage over the other, began their partnership in drug dealing. While Eunsoo boldly renegotiated terms with Lee Kyung, she was consumed by anxiety and fear as soon as she left his house, realizing her involvement in crime.
Lee Kyung took the drugs he received from Eunsoo to a club, distributing them to VIP clients. Influencer Mimi (played by Lee Ha-young) enjoyed a party with friends, with Kang Hwi-rim (played by Do Sang-woo) also present, heightening the tension. During the party, Lee Kyung's intervention to stop Min-woo (played by Park Yeon-woo) from harassing Mimi shocked Eunsoo further. The presence of articles and relationship charts about Kang Hwi-rim and his associates in Lee Kyung's room raised questions about his motives and hidden stories.
The plot took a dramatic turn when Min-woo, under the influence, caused a car accident. Jang Tae-goo (played by Park Yong-woo) discovered the drugs Phantom had lost in Min-woo's car, prompting a raid on the club Medusa where Lee Kyung was located. Eunsoo cleverly switched the VIP room numbers to prevent Lee Kyung's arrest, facilitating a tense escape.
After successfully completing their first deal, Eunsoo found herself with a large sum of money, more than three months' salary, in just one day. During the money settlement, sharp exchanges like "If it's nothing, why don't you do it, teacher?" and "Don't be curious about my work from now on" created a tense atmosphere. Overwhelmed by a mix of regret and guilt, Eunsoo broke into tears. Lee Young-ae delivered a powerful performance, capturing the emotional turmoil with a transition from a hollow laugh to sobbing.
Towards the end of the episode, Lee Kyung realized that the drugs Eunsoo brought were the same ones Phantom had lost, casting a meaningful smile at Soo-ah (played by Kim Si-a). Meanwhile, Dong-hyun (played by Lee Kyu-sung), a member of the Phantom organization who must retrieve the bag, appeared as Eunsoo's coworker at the mart.
The third episode of KBS 2TV's weekend mini-series 'Eunsoo's Good Day' is set to air on the 27th (Saturday) at 9:20 PM.
