Walking on Thin Ice with Lee Young-ae and Kim Young-kwang

Taking another step down a darkened path, KBS has us Walking on Thin Ice together with Lee Young-ae (Maestra – Strings of Truth), Kim Young-kwang (Trigger), and Park Yong-woo (Hunter with a Scalpel) in the crime-thriller’s latest poster and teaser, as well as new stills.
The trailer drops us right in the middle of what looks like an escape, as Kang Eun-soo (Lee Young-ae) and Lee Kyung (Kim Young-kwang) run hand-in-hand. In the flashback, we get a quick glimpse of Eun-soo’s ordinary but happy life not too long ago, as a doting wife to Bae Soo-bin (The King’s Affection) and loving mom to Kim Shi-ah (Sweet Home 3). And at the time, Kyung was simply her daughter’s art teacher at school.
However, Eun-soo’s world came crashing down when her husband was hospitalized with cancer and their family became crippled by debt. Our desperate heroine then makes a dangerous decision when she accidentally stumbles upon a bag filled with drugs. This is when she also discovers Kyung’s shady second job and surprises him by proposing a business partnership.
Thus begins their precarious team-up and the two are already clashing on marketing strategies. Kyung explains his tried-and-true approach of securing a network of loyal and long-term customers. But Eun-soo wants to raise their prices and get people talking, angling to drum up interest to lure in new clientele.
Kyung reminds Eun-soo of their contract, which unfairly has our heroine taking on all the risk, while he still gets to keep his share of the money. A sardonic Kyung believes that these are just the consequences that Eun-soo has to bear from her choices and actions. But it seems he may have underestimated our heroine’s fierceness and the teaser comes to a close on as the two stand-off.
Directed by PD Song Hyun-wook (Serendipity’s Embrace, The King’s Affection) with scripts penned by Jeon Young-shin (The Lies Within), KBS’s Walking on Thin Ice is slated to premiere on September 20, following Twelve in the weekend slot.
