"Parents' unconditional love when their children break their hearts” – Unknown
I like the director of this Drama Series, Mr. Kim Dae Jin, and found his other long slow-burn drama series "My Life's Golden Age" after watching slow-burn heartwarming "Golden Pouch". "My Life's Golden Age" does not disappoint me.
It is about a middle class family, a Korean language teacher, Mr. Lee Man Se. Formerly, he was a widower with two small children, a daughter, Lee Hwang and a son, Lee Ki. Later on, Man Se wedded a woman, Bok Mi Ja, that had an adopted daughter, and they named her Lee Geom.
Lee Hwang is a web designer and she is married to a wealthy medical orthopedic's son, Yoo Tae Il. Before they were married, Lee Hwang was pregnant, and the father of the unborn child emigrated. However, Tae Il was madly in love with Lee Hwang and wanted to marry Lee Hwang and be the child's father. Lee Hwang agreed to marry Tae Il after he pleaded earnestly. To return his love, Lee Hwang worked and supported Tae Il when he was completing his study. However, when they came back to Korea, Tae Il had a extramarital affair and it made Lee Hwang furious. She decided to have an affair with Dong Hwan that always loved Lee Hwang, but she only did one time affair to calm her down from her anger, and rejects Dong Hwan after the affair.
Lee Geom works as a athletic coach at a prestigious private high school and she is also diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Lee Geom's compassionate oncologist notices her commitment and dedication to her student-athletes while suffering from chronic myelogenous leukemia. The oncologist introduces a documentary director, Go Kyung Woo, to Lee Geom, for a documentary story. They know each other from a disaster "Blind Date". Initially, Lee Geom refuses to work with obnoxious Kyung Woo, but she accepts the offer so that she can support her student-athletes. While filming the documentary production, they fall in love and decide to get married. Kyung Woo's mother opposes the marriage and fights tooth and nail to prevent the union between Kyung Woo and Lee Geom.
Meanwhile, Lee Ki finished his medical school and completed his internship at the hospital but quits his residency. Instead, he enrolls in a dance academy to pursue his dream to be a musical actor, much to his parents' chagrin. Lee Ki even ridicules his father that his father is only a regular teacher, working a 9 to 5 job, with no ambition and challenges. It hurts his father so much and Lee Hwang notices his father cries in despair. Will Lee Ki fulfills his dream or his father's hope to be a good son?
I highly recommend "My Life's Golden Age" if you like to watch a Korean Family story that dwells around Traditional Korean Culture that clashes with the dreams of young generation. Superb performance by veteran actor Jang Yong as teacher/father Lee Man Se and actress Kim Hye Ok as mother Bok Mi Ja. I cry when they are in despair. The on-screen chemistry between this husband/wife couple is notable. I am rather disappointed that actress Kang Se Jung's sweet supportive character cousin Soo Kyung is not developed. She is always there for her cousin Lee Geom.
