Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang Embark on a Dangerous Partnership in 'Eunsoo's Good Day'

Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang's perilous partnership begins.

The new KBS 2TV weekend mini-series 'Eunsoo's Good Day' (directed by Song Hyun-wook, written by Jeon Young-shin, produced by Baram Pictures and Slingshot Studio) is set to premiere on Saturday, the 20th, at 9:20 PM. The series follows the story of Kang Eunsoo (played by Lee Young-ae), a parent who wants to protect her family, and Lee Kyung (played by Kim Young-kwang), a teacher with a double life, as they engage in a dangerous and desperate partnership over a bag of drugs they accidentally acquire.

The released highlight video captures the partnership between Eunsoo and Lee Kyung, which begins with the accidental discovery of a drug bag, and the relentless pursuit by Detective Jang Tae-goo (played by Park Yong-woo) and the drug trafficking organization Phantom, raising viewers' heart rates.

What stands out the most is Lee Young-ae's intense transformation. Starting as an ordinary mother, Eunsoo's narrative of stepping into a forbidden world showcases her wide acting range. Her bold choices, such as taking a job at a club to pay for her husband's medical bills, and her fearless actions, like hurling curses or confronting crises head-on, provide viewers with thrilling catharsis.

Kim Young-kwang adds intrigue to the series with his secretive double life as an after-school art instructor and club MD. He accepts Eunsoo's partnership proposal, knowing her discovery of his true identity, sparking interest. Particularly, when things don't go as planned, Lee Kyung's demand, "How are you going to take responsibility?" and Eunsoo's retort, "Don't even start, you're just a kid," inject unexpected humor amidst the crisis. The sharp dialogue creates a palpable tension, enhancing the unique chemistry and drawing viewers deeper into the story.

Additionally, Park Yong-woo's relentless pursuit offers nail-biting thrills. Transforming into Jang Tae-goo, the head of the drug investigation team at Gwangnam Police Station, he exudes overwhelming presence with intense eyes and delicate emotional acting. His line, "Stealing out of greed or for family, it's still theft," intensifies the conflict with Eunsoo, heightening immersion. As he follows his instincts, suspecting Eunsoo's involvement at every turn, he slowly tightens the noose around her, raising the tension of the series.

'Eunsoo's Good Day' promises an engaging storyline centered around the fierce chase between those hiding the drug bag and those pursuing it, thrilling action, and delicate direction capturing the characters' emotions, ensuring viewers won't be able to look away for even a moment.
