First script reading for MBC’s upcoming fantasy Golden Spoon

MBC’s upcoming fantasy Golden Spoon has finally unveiled stills of the drama’s first script reading, featuring leads Yook Sung-jae (Mystic Pop-up Bar), Lee Jong-won (Hospital Playlist 2), Jung Chae-yeon (The King’s Affection), and Yeonwoo (Dal-li and Gamjatang).

The webtoon adaptation has Yook Sung-jae as the adventure’s hero, Lee Seung-chun. He and and his friend, Hwang Tae-yong – played by Lee Jong-won – straddle opposite ends of the economic spectrum. But through the use of a mysterious golden spoon, their destines become switched.

Rounding out the main quartet, we have Jung Chae-yeon in the role of the righteous Na Joo-hee, while Yeonwoo plays the spunky Oh Yeo-jin. We’re told that the two come from affluent families, but how the main character become involved with one another has yet to be revealed.

In supporting roles, Tae-yong’s parents will be played by Choi Won-young (Moonshine) and Sohn Yeo-eun (The King’s Affection). Seung-chan’s parents will be played by Choi Dae-chul (Inspector Koo) and Han Chae-ah (The King’s Affection).

The lineup also includes the mystical Golden Spoon Granny – played by Song Ok-sook (Uncle) – as well as Lee In-hye (Graceful Friends), Jang Ryul (My Name), Kim Eun-soo (Red Heart), and Jo Deok-hwe (Woori the Virgin), among others.

On the production side, PD Song Hyun-wook (The King’s Affection) and PD Lee Han-joon are co-directing, while writers Yoon Eun-kyung (Prime Minister and I) and Kim Eun-hui collaborated on scripts.

MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama Golden Spoon will be coming to our screens this September, following Big Mouth.

Lee Jong-won in a leading role…we love to see it. He’s too good to not be a rising star.

Honestly this entire cast is cool. This could be super fun if they hit the right tone.

It is interesting that none of them in the first script reading stills are wearing masks. IIRC, all the other ones I have seen recently included actors with masks.

@dncingemma: Good point! Something did seem a little different to me with these stills and I guess it’s the lack of masking. I’m not up-to-date on the state of COVID in S.K. right now, but doesn’t this seem risky amongst such a large group?

@ladynightshade: I thought exactly the same! SK has been dealing with the Omicron’s more contagious variants too so it is surprising to see these stills.
