Unexpected Twists in 'Our Golden Days': Jung Il-woo's Character Faces Unforeseen Challenges

Jung Il-woo's character, Ji-hyuk, known for his exemplary work ethic, faces an unexpected turn as he suddenly resigns from his job.

In the upcoming episode 3 of KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'Our Golden Days' (directed by Kim Hyung-seok, written by So Hyun-kyung), airing on the evening of the 16th at 8 PM, Ji-hyuk (played by Jung Il-woo) voluntarily leaves his job, joining his father, Sang-chul (played by Chun Ho-jin), in unemployment.

Previously, Ji-hyuk demonstrated strong responsibility by addressing company issues even on his days off. He earned the trust of partner companies, proving his 'workaholic' nature. However, after overhearing about his father Sang-chul's failed reemployment, he began to feel immense pressure.

The released stills show Ji-hyuk mentoring the troublesome new employee, Jae-jin (played by Kim Jin-woo). As the company's ace, Ji-hyuk advises Jae-jin, who repeatedly makes mistakes. Jae-jin's enigmatic expression as he watches Ji-hyuk's back raises curiosity about his true intentions.

Meanwhile, Ji-hyuk is visibly unsettled by a superior who joined the company through connections. Unable to endure the humiliation, he decides to resign, submitting his resignation with dignity after a tense confrontation, showcasing his determination to maintain his pride. The audience is eager to see how the father-son duo, both now unemployed, will navigate this challenge.

On the other hand, Sang-chul also takes action to preserve his pride. He visits the hospital with a consolation payment and a box of fruit, suppressing his anger as he holds the hand of Chairman Choi, who is bedridden. Sang-chul's humane side touches viewers, sparking interest in how he will overcome this crisis.
