Lee Young-ae Dives into the Underworld in 'A Day of Good Fortune'
Actress Lee Young-ae is set to captivate audiences in the new KBS 2TV weekend mini-series 'A Day of Good Fortune,' taking on a role with a dramatic transformation. The first two episodes, airing tomorrow (the 20th) and the 21st at 9:20 PM, will delve into the life of Kang Eun-soo (played by Lee Young-ae), who is pushed to the brink by her husband's medical bills and failed cryptocurrency investments.
Meanwhile, Lee Kyung (played by Kim Young-kwang), an after-school art instructor for Eun-soo's daughter Sua (played by Kim Si-a), discovers a mysterious message on Sua's phone. During a parent-teacher conference, he informs Eun-soo about Sua's recent behavioral changes. In a shocking turn of events, Eun-soo stumbles upon a bag containing illicit drugs hidden in her home. Initially intending to report it to the police, she soon realizes the immense financial gain possible and makes a perilous decision.
Seeking to earn a substantial amount, Eun-soo begins working as a cleaner at a club. There, she overhears conversations revealing the existence of a clandestine club MD known as 'James.' To her utter shock, she discovers that 'James' is none other than her daughter's art instructor, Lee Kyung. The stark contrast between Lee Kyung's school persona and his club demeanor, coupled with Eun-soo's appearance as a cleaner, leaves both characters flustered. Ultimately, Eun-soo confronts Lee Kyung with the drugs, proposing a partnership that blurs the lines between parent and instructor, raising questions about the dramatic consequences that await them.
The production team of 'A Day of Good Fortune' stated, "As Eun-soo is pushed to the edge, she learns of Lee Kyung's true identity, marking the true beginning of the unfolding events." They urged viewers to anticipate the unpredictable plot twists.
