Actors Lee Ah-hyun, Oh Young-sil, and Ahn Yeon-hong have confirmed their appearances in ‘Catch the Big Fortune’.

The new KBS 1TV daily drama ‘Catch the Big Fortune’ (written by Son Ji-hye / directed by Park Man-young), scheduled to premiere in April, is a drama that depicts the turbulent growth period of three friends, one rich, one poor, and one who wants to be rich, and their families.

‘Catch the Big Fortune’ is the result of director Park Man-young, who has directed ‘Three Siblings Bravely’, ‘Manhole - Phil in Wonderland’, ‘The Eccentric Daughter-in-Law’, ‘Sweet Secret’, ‘The Man in the Vineyard’, and writer Son Ji-hye, who has directed ‘The Eccentric Family’, ‘Love, Love’.

Today (the 5th), ‘Catch the Big Fortune’ The ’Catch Me!’ production team is raising the expectations of potential viewers by sharing the news that Lee Ah-hyun (as Lee Mi-ja), Oh Young-sil (as Lee Hye-sook), and Ahn Yeon-hong (as Hwang Geum-ok) will be joining the cast of the drama, following Son Chang-min (as Han Moo-cheol), Seonwoo Jae-deok (as Kim Dae-sik), and Park Sang-myeon (as Choi Gyu-tae).

First, Lee Ah-hyun plays the role of Lee Mi-ja, Han Moo-cheol‘s wife and mother of two. Mi-ja, the only daughter of a wealthy family, falls in love with Moo-cheol, a penniless day laborer, at first sight and they become a couple. After her husband’s business goes boom, Mi-ja becomes the wife of a building owner. She thought she would live an elegant life like a swan born that way, but she gets stabbed in the back by Moo-cheol and faces the biggest crisis of her life. Lee Ah-hyun, who has been active in dramas, musicals, and plays such as ‘In My Eyes’, ‘Amazing Legacy’, ‘Top Star Yoo Baek-yi’, ‘Menopause’, ‘The Return’, is expected to add vitality to the play by showing off her fantastic chemistry as a couple with Son Chang-min.

Oh Young-sil plays Lee Hye-sook, the wife of the lovey-dovey Kim Dae-sik and a mother of three children. She is kind and gentle, but once she gets angry, she has a fiery personality that no one can stop her. Hye-sook, who used to live off Mi-ja‘s room, is very proud because her husband Dae-sik rejected Mi-ja’s confession and chose her. However, the rivalry between the two, who get entangled again in the relationship of building owner and tenant, does not end. Oh Young-sil, who has captured the public‘s attention in every work she has appeared in, including ‘Iron Family’, ‘The Season of Kokdu’, ‘Love’s Twist’, and ‘A Gentleman and a Lady’, is expected to show the true nature of a ‘K-Mom’ in this work and leave a heartbreaking echo.

Ahn Yeon-hong appears as Hwang Geum-ok, who runs a cafe called Dandelion on the first floor of the Dawoon Building. Geum-ok, a high school junior of Hye-sook and Mi-ja and who lives in the same neighborhood as them, is the only one who knows all about Mi-ja‘s past. Geum-ok has a quick-tempered personality and is nosy, but she is a cute middle-aged woman who you cannot hate. She reunites with Gyu-tae, the real estate president whom she had a crush on. Ahn Yeon-hong, who left a strong impression in every character she played in ‘Woodangtang Family’, ‘Penthouse 2,3’, ‘Suspicious Mother-in-Law’, is drawing attention to how she will captivate viewers in this production.

The production team of ‘Catch the Big Fortune’ said, “We are happy to be working with Lee Ah-hyun, Oh Young-sil, and Ahn Yeon-hong, who have a multitude of charms. We are already looking forward to their activities that will stimulate viewers’ dopamine,“ and added, ”The chemistry with the three musketeers of the world, Son Chang-min, Sunwoo Jae-deok, and Park Sang-myun, will also greatly increase the fun of watching, so please show lots of interest.“

‘Catch the Big Fortune’ will be the follow-up to ‘Let‘s Get Married, Frog!’, and it will be aired for the first time in April.
