KBS2 special weekend drama ‘Iron Family’ (directed by Sung Joon-hae, Seo Yong-soo / written by Seo Sook-hyang) Kim Young-ok and Park In-hwan are receiving a good response from viewers with their unprecedented chemistry as an older woman-younger man couple.

The ‘thumbs-up’ passionate acting of the two actors with a combined acting career of over 120 years presents both laughter and emotion in the drama. The humor that is both witty and unique is added to this, not only increasing the dramatic fun but also the level of perfection. Let‘s look back at the famous scenes where the chemistry between the elderly couple Gil-rye and Man-deuk in ‘Iron Family’ stood out.

● Kim Young-ok and Park In-hwan forged their grandson Kim Hyun-joon’s wedding gift

In episode 12, Gil-rye and Man-deuk wanted to give the money they dug up from Mt. Eugak to their grandson, police officer Lee Moo-rim (played by Kim Hyun-joon). The two decided to make fake wedding money and put it in the wedding table on the day of Moorim‘s wedding. Gil-rye and Man-deuk showed off their tiki-taka skills to send Da-rim and Cha Tae-woong (played by Choi Tae-joon), who were guarding the wedding table, to the bathroom, and their duo quickly wrote their names in the guest book while the two were away, making everyone laugh. However, the wedding hall was filled with senior and junior police officers who had come to congratulate Moorim’s wedding. The exceptional teamwork of Gil-rye and Man-deuk, who successfully completed the secret operation in a tense situation, created a tense atmosphere.

● Kim Young-ok and Park In-hwan, who got in Kim Sun-kyung‘s car after the wedding

Gil-rye and Man-deuk, who were about to go home, ended up getting in the car with the senior and junior police officers who were guests at Moorim’s wedding due to the strong pressure of their in-law, Yoon Mi-ok (played by Kim Sun-kyung). While walking home, surrounded by police officers, Man-deuk couldn‘t handle the tension and had difficulty breathing when the police asked him questions thoughtlessly. He was then helped home by the police, but his condition worsened because the police pressed down on the mattress where 6 billion won was hidden. Gil-rye chased all the police officers out of the room and took care of Man-deuk, and the chemistry between the two couples created a dramatic synergy.

● Kim Young-ok and Park In-hwan worry about their divorced daughter Wang Ji-hye

In episode 14, Gil-rye and Man-deuk were delighted to successfully give 100 million won to Moo-rim as a congratulatory gift. However, their divorced daughter Lee Mi-yeon (played by Wang Ji-hye) soon appeared in front of them, and their happiness disappeared in an instant. Gil-rye, who felt sorry for Mi-yeon, wanted to give the money to her daughter as well, but Man-deuk was adamantly against it. The two people who convey joy and sorrow to the living room theater every episode are arousing curiosity of viewers about what kind of story they will bring in the future.

Episode 15 of ‘Iron Family’ will air on the 16th (Sat) at 8 PM.
