Cheon Ho-jin’s Job Loss Triggers Family Drama in ‘Our Golden Days’
Episode 2 of Our Golden Days delivers emotional highs and lows as Cheon Ho-jin’s character loses his job, sparking family conflict, romantic rejection, and new connections.
Cheon Ho-jin’s Lee Sang-cheol faces career turmoil and family tensions in Our Golden Days Episode 2.
KBS 2TV’s weekend drama Our Golden Days (directed by Kim Hyung-seok, written by So Hyun-gyeong) is turning up the tension just two episodes in, blending heartfelt family moments with simmering conflicts.
The August 10 episode saw Lee Sang-cheol (Cheon Ho-jin) blindsided when his advisory position at Seongil Textile was abruptly canceled following Chairman Choi’s illness. In place of an apology, the company sent a large sum of consolation money—an act that left Sang-cheol furious and his family in shock.
Adding to the turmoil, his son Lee Ji-hyeok (Jung Il-boo) declared his intent to live independently, despite his father’s opposition. While their conversation hinted at compromise, Ji-hyeok’s determination remained firm, hinting at deeper value clashes to come.
Meanwhile, softer moments unfolded in the Eun-oh household, where daily acts of care painted a picture of quiet love. Eun-oh’s chance encounter with Go Sung-hee (Lee Tae-ran)—after helping her during a low blood sugar episode—sparked intrigue, especially given Sung-hee’s secret interest in her.
Elsewhere, Park Sung-jae (Yoon Hyun-min) kept his promise to inform Eun-oh of Ji-hyeok’s breakup, prompting her to confess her feelings to Ji-hyeok. The heartfelt moment ended painfully when he rejected her, telling her, “You don’t suit me.”
By weaving rapid emotional shifts, layered relationships, and looming conflicts into just two episodes, Our Golden Days has set the stage for a gripping family saga. Viewers are now bracing for the storm ahead.
