Jung Il-woo Dons CEO Aura in 'The Brilliant Days,' Signaling Successful Business Acumen

Actor Jung Il-woo is showcasing his sophisticated business leader persona in the drama 'The Brilliant Days,' as he throws himself into his entrepreneurial endeavors.

The upcoming 11th and 12th episodes of KBS 2TV's weekend drama 'The Brilliant Days,' scheduled to air on the 13th and 14th at 8 PM, will highlight the stark contrast between Lee Ji-hyuk (Jung Il-woo), deeply immersed in his business, and Ji Eun-oh (Jung In-sun), struggling with familial conflicts.

Previously, Ji-hyuk successfully launched his business and signaled a potential mending of his relationship with Eun-oh by collaborating with her on his first project. However, Eun-oh finds herself in deepening trouble as she takes on the burden of repaying her brother Ji Kang-oh (Yang Hyuk)'s illicit debts. To compound matters, the revelation that Eun-oh is adopted and that her biological mother is Go Sung-hee (Lee Tae-ran) has sent shockwaves through the audience.

New stills released today (the 12th) capture Ji-hyuk exuding sharp intellect with his sharp suit and glasses. His determined gaze conveys unwavering resolve, inspiring confidence. His relaxed smile while presenting his business plan to an audience foreshadows his return to being the capable professional he once was.

Conversely, Eun-oh's situation grows increasingly complicated. Her brother Kang-oh is filled with confusion and anger upon learning about her origins, leaving Eun-oh helpless when confronted. Tears well up in Eun-oh's eyes as she stands alone, making viewers empathize with the unspoken weight of their conversation.

The unfolding drama raises anticipation about how the conflict between Eun-oh and Kang-oh connects to their birth secret, and how their story will contrast with Ji-hyuk's determined pursuit of business success.

Jung Il-woo debuted in the 2006 MBC sitcom 'High Kick!' and quickly rose to fame.

He has demonstrated a wide acting range through various works like 'Iljimae Returns,' 'Moon Embracing the Sun,' and 'Cinderella with Four Knights.'

More recently, he has been charming audiences with his friendly persona on variety shows like the 'Biong Biong Earth Arcade' series.
