Eng article : KBS weekender My Golden Life gears up for premiere



Shin Hye-sun (Forest of Secrets) and Park Shi-hoo’s (Neighborhood Hero) family drama My Golden Life has released its second teaser, featuring the both of them and second leads Lee Tae-hwan (Father, I’ll Take Care of You) and Seo Eun-soo (Duel). In addition, three new posters have been released that show completely different aspects of the show: family, love square, and the main romance.


The show is about how a “dirt-spoon” (meaning impoverished with no connections) woman is given an opportunity to experience a golden life by assuming a false identity. In the teaser, Park Shi-hoo surprises his employees in the elevator as they’re gossiping about him, then fumes to himself, not understanding why they think he’s haughty. He’s introduced as Choi Do-kyung, who’s totally clumsy despite looking perfect on the outside, and we see him peering down the hallway, perhaps spying on some other coworkers.


Shin Hye-sun gets introduced with the text: “Do you know what it is to live like a dirt spoon?” Her character is Seo Ji-ahn, an infinite yes-woman who dreams of becoming a full-time employee. She’s seen defending herself to other people, telling them not to judge her for her lifestyle and to just concentrate on their own lives.


Seo Eun-soo plays a character named Seo Ji-soo, who is a “one-sided love specialist” and a bohemian part-timer. She’s infatuated with Lee Tae-hwan’s character, and throws thumb-hearts at him, which he catches in the teaser. He’s introduced as Seon Woo-hyuk, who hates frustrating women and is an all-around cool guy.


The final scene shows an interaction between Choi Do-kyung and Seo Ji-ahn, where they’re both on the road. From behind her, Choi Do-kyung furiously signals for her to stop, but she thinks he’s a weirdo and tries to avoid him until he cuts her off to force her to stop. He then points out the damage on his car.


The copy switches between: “Coincidence.” “Inevitability.” “Destiny.” “Ill-fate.” Suddenly shocked, she exclaims, “Did I really do this?” as he lets out a long sigh of frustration. The text onscreen then asks: “What will be next?” It won’t be long until we get to see for ourselves.


Warm human family drama My Golden Life will air on Saturday and Sunday starting September 2, after the end of the current KBS weekender Father Is Strange.
