Geum Sae Rok is stepping up to the lead role in KBS’s upcoming weekend drama Iron Family.
This isn’t your typical family drama, though. Iron Family is a unique blend of romance and black comedy, following the lives of the Lee family, who run a special kind of laundry shop – one that irons money instead of clothes!
Director Sung Joon-hae, known for his expertise in family dramas, is at the helm, promising heartwarming moments. Writer Seo Sook-hyang, who penned Wok of Love and Don’t Dare to Dream, adds her touch to create a show with both humor and heart.
Geum Sae Rok takes on the role of Lee Da-rim, the youngest member of the laundry shop family. Da-rim’s life hasn’t been easy – she’s been battling a vision impairment since she was 14. But Da-rim’s a fighter. Despite the challenges, she maintains a strong spirit and refuses self-pity.
A glimmer of hope appears when a potential cure for her condition emerges, but the hefty price tag throws another hurdle her way. As Da-rim grapples with this new reality, she encounters Seo Kang-joo (played by Kim Jung Hyun), someone from her past with whom she has a complicated history. Will their reunion spark a second chance?
Geum Sae-Rok is reportedly embracing a bold transformation for this role, and viewers can expect sizzling chemistry between her and Kim Jung Hyun. After captivating audiences in dramas like Soundtrack #2 and Youth of May, Geum Sae Rok is poised to take center stage and bring a breath of fresh air to weekend dramas.
The producers are excited about Geum Sae-Rok’s casting, praising her ability to embody the character and her potential to create magic onscreen with Kim Jung-hyun. They promise a story that will entertain and touch viewers’ hearts.
Mark your calendars for September – Iron Family is coming soon to KBS!
