KBS2's new weekend drama `The Gorgeous Days' (played by So Hyun-kyung, director Kim Hyung-seok) is `Every human being has Gorgeous Days. Whether now, in the past, or in the future. It is a story of a generational sympathetic family melodrama about the colorful days we meet in different meanings.
While news of the appearances of actors Jung Il-woo, Jeong In-sun, and Yoon Hyun-min was reported earlier, many actors with solid acting skills, including actors Cheon Ho-jin, Lee Tae-ran, and Ban Hyo-jung, as well as Yoon Joo-sang, Kim Hee-jung, Park Sung-geun, and Kim Jung-young, are raising expectations for the drama.
First, Cheon Ho-jin plays Lee Sang-cheol, the father of Lee Ji-hyuk (Jung Il-woo) in the play. Sang-cheol, who is honest and responsible, has lived silently to support his parents and family even in a difficult environment, and even tries to get re-employed after retirement, but even that fails and he feels the barriers of reality. Conflict deepens due to differences in values with son Ji-hyuk, and faces another ordeal in life.
Lee Tae-ran is Park Sung-jae (Yoon Hyun-min)'s stepmother, Ko Sung-hee, who reveals her strong presence. Sung-hee is seemingly sweet and elegant as the hostess of the group, but in reality, she is a cool-headed and selfish person who does everything for herself. Her ambition is expected to serve as a key driving force in the main conflict structure of the play.
On the other hand, Ban Hyo-jung stars as Lee Sang-chul's mother, Cho Ok-rye. While feeling skeptical about one's existence in the harsh reality that has lost jobs and words over the years, he encounters a new world by chance and faces a wave of change.
Yoon Joo-sang appears as Kim Jang-soo, Cho Ok-rye's father-in-law and sweetheart's father. He, who left his wife with dementia before taking care of her, is a person who goes back and forth between conflict and comfort within the fence of life and family after retirement.
Kim Hee-jeong plays Kim Da-jeong, Lee Sang-chul's wife and Lee Ji-hyuk's mother. Dajeong was an elementary school teacher in the past, but she has devoted herself to living, raising children, and taking care of her children after getting married. With her warm and loving personality, she has endured difficult years thanks to her husband, Sang-cheol, but recently, she has spent her days feeling anxious while maintaining neutrality between her husband and son.
Park Sung-geun played Park Jin-seok, Sung-hee's husband and Sung-jae's father. A successful businessman with a roaring personality who remarried Sung-hee after his divorce from his first wife, he senses her desires vaguely, but as time goes by, he gradually faces her reality.
Finally, Kim Jung-young plays Jeong Soon-hee, the mother of Ji Eun-oh (Jeong In-sun). After leaving her husband first, she relied on her daughter Eun-oh to live her life, and she is struggling because of her son Ji Kang-oh (Yang Hyuk), who is struggling to finance the business amid increasingly difficult circumstances.
The production team said "Since they represent the lives of each generation, sincere acting and heavy presence were of paramount importance"As there are a large number of trusted acting actors such as Cheon Ho-jin, Lee Tae-ran, Ban Hyo-jung, Yoon Joo-sang, Kim Hee-jung, Park Sung-geun, and Kim Jung-young, I am confident that they will firmly support the center of the play. Please look forward to synergy of those who will capture the eyes and emotions of various generations in detail."
On the other hand, 「Fancy Days" is drawing attention as the second meeting between So Hyun-kyung and Kim Hyung-seok, who led the golden age of weekend dramas with"My Golden Life". 'Please take care of the five eagle brothers!' It is scheduled to premiere in August as a follow-up.
