English News : My Golden Life promises refreshing cliche-reversals

August 14, 2017

The first teaser for upcoming weekend series My Golden Life has just been released, 
and it definitely has that upbeat, warm fuzzy vibe that I love in family dramas. 
And yes, Shin Hye-sun (Forest of Secrets) is coming back to family dramas! 
She was so relatable and cute in Five Kids that I want her in a similar role every time 
I see her on television.




The teaser’s supposed to show how Shin Hye-sun’s character has the chance of overcoming 
her impoverished background through a false identity, but due to a series of misfortunes, 
she ends up worse off than before and learns to deal with the obstacles that follow.

In the teaser, the drama promises to gives us 
a reversal of the commonplace making weekenders
 we see so often in dramaland. It starts with this question to the viewers: 
“You’ve seen these types of scenes before, right?”

Then, the teaser goes through a checklist of familiar setups 
we see all the time in family dramas:

Birth secrets.

A handsome department head. 
Cue Park Si-hoo’s (Neighborhood Hero) entrance, 
looking like the stereotypical charismatic business leader, 
which according to his character synopsis, he is.

An intelligent, hard-working Candy-type heroine.
 Shin Hye-sun is shown running late for work, juggling coffee, 
and somehow landing in a police station all scratched up.

The love triangle we can’t do without. Enter Lee Tae-hwan (Father, I’ll Take Care of You), 
who plays Shin Hye-sun’s childhood best friend, brightly smiling at her with puppy-dog eyes.

A loving, large multigenerational family. That’s Shin Hye-sun, her three siblings,
 and their father. Chun Ho-jin (Man to Man) plays her father, while Lee Tae-sung 
(Mom, I Summon You, Gold), Seo Eun-soo (Duel), and Shin Hyun-soo 
(Ruler—Master of the Mask) play her siblings.

Then the chryon asks: “Is this all?” An emphatic “No! No! No!”
 reply flashes, and the teaser explains that there’ll be no frustrating elements in 
this “refreshing” new drama. With a smile, Shin Hye-sun ends the teaser by saying, “Bingo!”



 KBS family drama My Golden Life will air starting September 2, 
following the end of Father Is Strange.
