Lee Young-ae & Kim Young-kwang Kick Off High-Stakes Partnership in New Thriller 'A Good Day for Eun-soo'

A perilous business venture is set to begin between Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang in the new KBS2 weekend mini-series, 'A Good Day for Eun-soo'.

Scheduled for its premiere on the 20th at 9:20 PM, the drama chronicles the dangerous and desperate collaboration between Kang Eun-soo (Lee Young-ae), a parent determined to protect her family, and Lee Kyung (Kim Young-kwang), a teacher with a hidden double life, after they stumble upon a bag of drugs.

The highlight video released on the 15th has already heightened anticipation, showcasing the partnership born from the accidental drug bag discovery and the relentless pursuit by detective Jang Tae-gu (Park Yong-woo) and the drug trafficking organization 'Phantom'.

A major highlight is Lee Young-ae's dramatic transformation. Her portrayal of Eun-soo, who ventures into the forbidden world from the guise of an ordinary mother, fully displays her wide acting spectrum. Her daring choice to work at a club to secure her husband's treatment fees, her uninhibited curses to protect herself, and her bold, head-on approach in dire situations promise a thrilling catharsis for viewers.

Kim Young-kwang adds layers of intrigue with his secret double life as an after-school art instructor and a club MD. His acceptance of Eun-soo's proposal to partner up, after she discovers his secret, fuels the plot's excitement. Particularly, a scene where Lee Kyung confronts Eun-soo with 'How will you take responsibility?' and she retorts 'Don't even mention it, you're too young' injects unexpected humor amidst the crisis. The sharp dialogue and palpable tension between them forge a unique chemistry, drawing viewers deeper into the story.

Furthermore, Park Yong-woo's relentless pursuit provides nail-biting suspense. As Jang Tae-gu, the determined team leader of the drug squad at Gwangnam Police Station, he commands the screen with intense gazes and nuanced emotional performances. His confrontation with Eun-soo, stating 'Stealing out of greed and stealing for family are both theft,' significantly amplifies the drama's immersion. With his sharp instincts pinpointing Eun-soo's presence wherever suspicion arises, he meticulously tightens the net, raising the tension to its peak.

'A Good Day for Eun-soo' promises an irresistible pull, seamlessly blending a thrilling plot centered around the chase for the drug bag, exhilarating action sequences, and the delicate emotional performances of its characters, ensuring viewers remain captivated from start to finish.

Considered one of the most anticipated dramas of the latter half of the year, KBS2's new weekend mini-series 'A Good Day for Eun-soo' will premiere on Saturday, the 20th, at 9:20 PM.

Lee Young-ae is renowned for her iconic role in 'Dae Jang Geum' (2003), which earned her top honors at the MBC Drama Awards and Baeksang Arts Awards. This marks her return to television after approximately seven years, following her appearance in 'Saimdang, Memoir of Colors' in 2017. Beyond her acting career, she actively engages in various philanthropic activities, spreading positive influence.
