The precarious and secret partnership between actors Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang begins.

KBS2's new Saturday mini-series 'Eunsu Good Day' (scripted by Jeon Young-shin, director Song Hyun-wook) is a work about a dangerous partnership between Kang Eun-soo, a parent who wants to protect her family, and Lee Kyung, a two-faced teacher, with a drug bag obtained by accident.

The meeting between Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang has already raised expectations 'Eunsu Good Day' will be organized as KBS2's second Saturday mini-series and will visit the small screen in the second half of this year. The acting ensemble of Lee Young-ae, who has an irreplaceable presence, and Kim Young-kwang, who has a wide acting spectrum, is one of the biggest points to watch.




Actor Lee Young-ae of Gwanrok will return to KBS's small screen after 26 years as the main character Kang Eun-soo. Eun-soo, an ordinary housewife whose daily life with her family was the greatest happiness, is driven to the brink by unexpected misfortune. When a large amount of money is needed, Eun-su discovers a suspicious bag and is caught up in an uncontrollable whirlwind of fate. Eun-soo, who eventually crossed the boundaries of withdrawal to save her family, gives a dangerous proposal to Lee Kyung, an after-school art instructor of her daughter Sua, who she encountered in an unexpected place. Lee Young-ae, who has established herself as an actor representing the times through intense female characters in numerous hit films, is expected to once again give off her unrivaled presence through 'Eunsu Good Day'.

Actor Kim Young-kwang, who has been loved by the public for his wide range of character digestibility and stable acting skills, plays Lee Kyung and challenges multi-layered characters that he has not shown before. She is an after-school art instructor who is loved by female students at the middle school where Eun-soo's daughter Su-ah attends due to her attractive appearance and pleasant personality as a prestigious university student. It seems like a rare perfect young man of this era, but there is another face behind it. His name, age, and job are veiled, and he is at a crossroads of choice after receiving an unexpected partnership proposal from Eun-soo, parents of art student Sua. Kim Young-kwang, who freely crossed genres and melodramas such as 'Villain Biography', 'Sumbody' and 'Watchmen', will portray a dual character who crosses the boundaries of good and evil, hypocrisy and sincerity in this work.

"The meeting between Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang alone is enough for the actor to be considered the most anticipated film in the second half of the year. The tension and synergy created by the two actors with completely different results will give a fresh shock that was not easily seen in conventional dramas," the production team said. He then added expectations, "It will give viewers an intense immersion and lingering feeling through the depth of the narrative and emotion beyond just a crime thriller."
