What if the perfect housewife turns into a drug dealer?
Coming to U-NEXT on September 20, 2025, the new K-drama Good Day for Eunsoo (Eunsu Joeun Nal) is flipping the script on your classic family drama. This time, it’s not just tears and kimchi stew—it’s secrets, suspense, and a whole bag of drugs. Literally.
A Thriller with Two Faces (And Two Lives)
Lee Youngae, known globally for her iconic role in Jewel in the Palace, is back after years away from the small screen. This time, she plays Kang Eunsoo, a devoted wife caught between mounting debt and her husband’s terminal illness. But just as things hit rock bottom, she finds a mysterious bag filled with drugs—and a chance to change everything.
Her unlikely partner? Lee Kyung (played by K-drama heartthrob Kim Youngkwang of Pinocchio and The Secret Life of My Secretary). By day, he’s a mild-mannered art teacher; by night, he sells drugs to spoiled heirs in Gangnam’s club scene. Needless to say, he’s not just teaching watercolor techniques.
From Desperation to Dangerous Deals
What starts as a desperate attempt to save her family pulls Eunsoo into a chilling web of criminal underworld dealings. With Lee Kyung reluctantly (or maybe not so reluctantly?) by her side, the two face betrayal, moral dilemmas, and some serious questions about survival.
The show’s directed by Son Hyunwook, known for crafting emotionally layered thrillers—and this one’s no exception.
Watch it First—And Only—on U-NEXT
For fans in Japan, Good Day for Eunsoo will stream exclusively on U-NEXT, starting September 20 at 11 PM, with new episodes dropping every Saturday and Sunday. U-NEXT is labeling this as an “original” for its Japanese platform, bringing it simultaneously with Korea’s domestic broadcast.
Why Everyone’s Talking About It
- Lee Youngae’s big comeback in a role that’s worlds away from historical palace halls.
- Kim Youngkwang showing off his edgier side—think less puppy eyes, more poker face.
- A fresh twist on the ajumma-turns-criminal storyline that’s already drawing comparisons to Breaking Bad, but make it Korean—and emotional.
Final Thoughts
With its morally complex characters and high-stakes storytelling, Good Day for Eunsoo promises not just adrenaline but emotional weight. If you’re a fan of thrillers with heart (and a side of social commentary), mark your calendars. Could this be Lee Youngae’s boldest role yet?
