Yook Sung-jae and Lee Jong-won swap lives in MBC’s Golden Spoon
by solstices
How far would you go to get rich? MBC’s upcoming fantasy drama Golden Spoon stars Yook Sung-jae (Mystic Pop-up Bar) as Lee Seung-cheon, whose poverty-stricken background has him dreaming of being a millionaire. And then his wish comes true — a mysterious and magical golden spoon enables him to switch places with rich chaebol son Tae-yong, played by Lee Jong-won (Hospital Playlist 2).
Both leading men will vie for the affection of Jung Chae-yeon (The King’s Affection), who plays Na Joo-hee, a chaebol daughter who wants to assert her own identity separate from her wealth. In addition, we have Yeonwoo (Dal-li and Gamjatang) rounding out our main cast as the affluent Oh Yeo-jin, whose ambition has her aiming to marry Tae-yong so she can multiply her riches.
The drama’s third teaser offers a peek at our leading couple’s chemistry, shown through a cute montage that culminates in Joo-hee pulling Seung-cheon in for a kiss. Unfortunately, there’s trouble in paradise; Joo-hee gazes wistfully at an empty seat in class, while Seung-cheon contemplates his magical golden spoon. Joo-hee’s clearly in love with Seung-cheon, but she’s engaged to chaebol son Tae-yong, who shelters her from the rain with a sweet smile.
Then the golden spoon turns everything around — through its magic, Seung-cheon and Tae-yong swap places. This makes for a funny scene where Joo-hee calls out Seung-cheon’s name and Seung-cheon instinctively stands up to greet her, but Tae-yong pushes his friend back down because he’s now “Seung-cheon.”
The pair may have seamlessly switched lives, but Joo-hee soon notices that there’s something unfamiliar about “Seung-cheon” now, and she wonders why “Tae-yong” has changed so much. Tae-yong (as Seung-cheon) smoothly pulls Joo-hee close with an arm around her shoulders, and Seung-cheon (as Tae-yong) tenderly strokes her hair. No wonder she’s confused!
Seung-cheon opens the drama’s fourth teaser with a vow that he’ll become rich. Sick of living in a world where money determines one’s social class, Seung-cheon screams that being poor isn’t a crime. Tae-yong’s father, played by Choi Won-young (Moonshine), calmly replies that of course it isn’t a crime — it’s a disease.
Even after Seung-cheon steps into his new life of luxury, troubles await. Trading parents via the golden spoon necessitates going against Heaven’s will and altering familial ties, and that means Seung-cheon will have to pay the price. The teaser ends with Seung-cheon yelling in despair and Tae-yong running with a determined — or maybe even desperate — look on his face, seemingly forecasting a tumultuous road ahead.
Based on a webtoon of the same name, Golden Spoon is directed by Song Hyun-wook (The King’s Affection) and Lee Han-joon (Check Out the Event), and written by scriptwriter duo Yoon Eun-kyung and Kim Eun-hee (Prime Minister and I). It will premiere in MBC’s Friday-Saturday slot on September 23, and will also be streamed on Wavve and Disney+.

My reasons to be annoyed with Disney+ are increasing. Why Oh why not streaming their KDramas outside Asia.

Check out HiTV app a lot of the can’t find dramas anywhere decent are on there including this one. It’s free and the pop up ads are not dodgy content and are easy to move past.

I have been reading the webtoon because I didn’t think I would get access to this but have found it is available so far it looks like this is going to be good.

Glad to see Yook Sungjae back on screen again!
Although the plot is unusual in it's protagonist being a shady grey character, I'm looking forward to how the characters make me warm up to them

so many pretty posters! interested in this but as usual it will be hard to find. used to be so easy. thanks for the info on HiTV @ Reply1988. Don't you feel like sometimes we are jumping through hoops now to find and watch them? makes me kind of cranky but it won't stop me! Darn Disney sticking its nose where it doesn't belong.
