Lee Young Ae’s Peaceful Life Begins To Crumble In New Drama “Walking On Thin Ice”
KBS 2TV’s upcoming drama “Walking On Thin Ice” has shared a glimpse of the cracks that begin to form in Lee Young Ae’s life!
“Walking On Thin Ice” follows Kang Eun Soo (Lee Young Ae), a parent determined to protect her family, and Lee Kyung (Kim Young Kwang), a two-faced teacher, as they are drawn into a dangerous, desperate partnership after stumbling upon a bag of drugs.
Lee Young Ae stars as Kang Eun Soo, a woman whose ordinary life unravels overnight when her husband’s illness worsens and the family is thrown into financial ruin. One day, she comes across a suspicious bag left behind by someone—an encounter that unexpectedly entangles her with her daughter’s after-school art teacher, Lee Kyung.
Newly released stills offer a glimpse into Eun Soo’s unraveling world, tracing the quiet fractures in her everyday life. In one image, she beams at her daughter with a heart gesture as she heads off to school. Her cheerful smile, tidy apron, and cozy home radiate the quiet joy of a devoted mother—moments that soon stand in stark contrast to the turmoil ahead.
Another still captures Eun Soo at work in a supermarket, clad in a uniform. Her demeanor as she carries out her duties hints at a woman quietly shouldering the weight of her reality, offering a poignant look at her struggle to make ends meet.
The final still paints a drastically different picture. Her subtle but powerful emotional shift as she stands frozen—her body tense, her gaze anxious, her lips tightly sealed—foreshadows the harrowing journey to come.
The production team commented, “Lee Young Ae completely embodies the emotional spectrum of her character—from the desperate resolve hidden behind a bright smile to the quiet strength she shows when her world collapses. Her performance will lend compelling weight to the crises and choices that Kang Eun Soo must face.”
“Walking On Thin Ice” is set to premiere on September 20 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
