Uhm Hyun-kyung Returns to KBS After Six Years with 'Our Happy Days'

Actress Uhm Hyun-kyung is making her return to KBS after six years with the new daily drama 'Our Happy Days.'

On the 30th, an online press conference was held for KBS 1TV's new daily drama 'Our Happy Days.' The event was attended by actors Yoon Jong-hoon, Uhm Hyun-kyung, Jung Yoon, Yoon Da-young, Kim Hye-ok, Sunwoo Jae-duk, Yoon Da-hoon, Moon Hee-kyung, Lee Sang-sook, Jung Ho-bin, and director Lee Jae-sang.

'Our Happy Days' centers around a high-stakes life-and-death battle between the world's most perfect man and a clumsy woman, while also depicting the stories of various generations striving to become the protagonists of their own lives.

Uhm Hyun-kyung takes on the role of Jo Eun-ae, a developer and co-CEO of the startup Lucky Joy. Uhm shared, "It's my first time playing a developer, and since I knew nothing about AI, I initially struggled with even short terms like I.O.T (Internet of Things). I made an effort to learn by asking around and familiarizing myself with related terms."

After announcing the birth of her son in 2024, Uhm Hyun-kyung is making her comeback with this project, marking her return to KBS after approximately six years since 'The Secret Man' on KBS 2TV in 2020. She expressed, "I'm very happy to be back at KBS after such a long time. Previously, I did a lot of revenge dramas, but in 'Our Happy Days,' I get to portray the warmth of a family," she said with a smile.

'Our Happy Days' premieres today at 8:30 PM.
