‘Catch the Big Fortune’ Yeon Je-hyung, Lee So-won, Kim Hyun-ji, and Park Ji-sang become entangled in an unusual relationship.

The new KBS 1TV daily drama ‘Catch the Big Fortune’ (written by Son Ji-hye / directed by Park Man-young, Lee Hae-woo), which will premiere on Monday, April 7th at 8:30 PM, is a drama that depicts the turbulent growth period of three friends, one rich, one poor, and one who wishes to be rich, and their families.

Yeon Je-hyung and Kim Hyun-ji play the roles of Kim Seok-jin, the second son and youngest daughter of Sunwoo Jae-deok (played by Kim Dae-sik) and Oh Young-sil (played by Lee Hye-sook). Despite difficult circumstances, Seok-jin pursues an elite career thanks to his parents‘ devotion and love. After studying abroad at a prestigious university in the United States, he struggles for the happiness of his family. The youngest, Ah-jin, who resembles Dae-sik and Hye-sook in terms of their caring nature, is so good at cooking that she is called the ‘modern-day Jang-geum’.

Park Ji-sang and Lee So-won play the eldest son Han Tae-ha and second daughter Han Seo-woo of Son Chang-min (as Han Moo-chul) and Lee Ah-hyun (as Lee Mi-ja). Tae-ha, a ‘high-spec unemployed person’, starts investing in stocks with the ambition of becoming a millionaire surpassing his father, but faces the biggest crisis of his life when he loses his fortune. Seo-woo, who has a strong will to say what she wants to say, is a ‘love novice’ with her superior visuals, who attracts attention wherever she goes, but has never actually been in a proper relationship.

The photos released today (the 25th) show the first meeting that marks the beginning of the relationship between Moo-chul and Dae-sik’s children. After finishing his studies abroad, Seok-jin and Seo-woo have an uncomfortable first meeting at the airport.

Seo-woo, who came to greet Tae-hyung, whom she has a crush on, unknowingly bumps into Seok-jin and cries. Seok-jin and Seo-woo, who had misunderstandings since their first meeting, meet again as the children of the building owner and tenant. In addition, Seok-jin, who is also close friends with Tae-hyung, learns a shocking secret between the two, which puts him at a crossroads. It raises curiosity about what happened between the two and how their relationship will unfold.

In addition, the appearances of A-jin, who works part-time at a restaurant run by Tae-ha‘s close senior, Jin-tae, and Tae-ha, a freeloader who comes to visit whenever he has time, also draw attention. A-jin, who does not waste anything, is a diligent MZ who does not miss anything from collecting coins to department store sample events. On the other hand, Tae-ha considers the life of an office worker who is stuck in the office from morning to night to be inefficient. Tae-ha, who only thinks about making a lot of money through stock investment, picks on A-jin, who diligently collects every coin.

The photo shows A-jin and Tae-ha meeting at a bus stop after getting a bunch of cosmetic samples. A-jin gets angry at Tae-ha’s actions while he‘s looking away, and Tae-ha gets on the bus and takes medicine without a care, which adds to the interest. After their crazy meeting, A-jin ends up in debt to Tae-ha due to a fatal mistake, which piques curiosity.

KBS 1TV’s new daily drama ‘Catch the Big Fortune’ is scheduled to premiere on April 7th (Monday) at 8:30 PM as the follow-up to ‘Let‘s Get Married, Frog!’.
