BTOB’s Yook Sungjae And Lee Jong Won Uncover New Secrets After Switching Lives Again In “The Golden Spoon”

 

Secrets will slowly but surely get revealed in the upcoming episodes of “The Golden Spoon”!

 

Based on the webtoon of the same name, MBC’s “The Golden Spoon” is a drama about a student born into a poor family who uses a magical golden spoon to swap fates with a friend born into a wealthy family. BTOB’s Yook Sungjae stars as Lee Seung Chun, the student who hopes to turn his life around with the titular golden spoon, while Lee Jong Won plays Hwang Tae Yong, the privileged friend whose life Lee Seung Chun covets.

 

 

Spoilers

In Episode 12, Hwang Tae Yong stopped by Lee Seung Chun’s house on their shared birthday to drop off the side dishes from his family. However, an important rule of the magical golden spoon is that seeing your birth parents on your birthday reverts you back to your original family. But despite Hwang Tae Yong’s interaction with his birth father Hwang Hyun Do (Choi Won Young), the two remained in their switched state, confusing Lee Seung Chun.

 

This encounter was followed up by a surprise visit from Lee Seung Chun’s birth parents, which finally triggered the switch, but also raised questions about the birth secrets between these fathers and sons.

 

In the upcoming November 4 broadcast of “The Golden Spoon,” Lee Seung Chun and Hwang Tae Yong switch lives once again and the hidden secrets of their entangled fate will start coming to light.

 

At an unexpected moment, Lee Seung Chun and Hwang Tae Yong return to their original lives, raising curiosity about whether this will be their final switch, or whether Lee Seung Chun’s ambition will get the best of him. Additionally, Hwang Tae Yong will start showcasing a completely opposite attitude towards his father Hwang Hyun Do, making him flustered and confused.

 

Spoiler

 

Lee Seung Chun and Hwang Tae Yong’s friend Na Joo Hee (DIA’s Jung Chaeyeon) also starts growing suspicious of their irregular behaviors, raising questions as to whether she’ll end up learning about the golden spoon. Additionally tangled up in this chaos is Oh Yeo Jin (Yeonwoo), who’s collaborated with Lee Seung Chun to become engaged to him as Hwang Tae Yong. Viewers can look forward to seeing how she’ll start acting once she discovers that they’ve switched back.

 

Spoiler

 

Episode 13 of “The Golden Spoon” will air on November 4. Instead of their usual 9:50 p.m. KST time slot, the drama will air this Friday at 10:40 p.m. KST following broadcasts of the 2022 KBO Korean Series and MBC’s “Newsdesk.”

“The Golden Spoon” Responds To Allegations Of Favoritism

“The Golden Spoon” has responded to speculation of favoritism for certain cast members.

 

After MBC released their latest behind-the-scenes video from the set of “The Golden Spoon,” many viewers expressed concern and confusion that the drama was showing favoritism by promoting certain actors over the lead stars. Although the video title and description focused on the drama’s lead actor BTOB‘s Yook Sungjae, it appeared that his co-star Son Woo Hyun had much more screentime.

 

In response to viewers’ concerns, a representative of the drama shared, “‘The Golden Spoon’ was the best drama where the actors showcased the best teamwork. The set atmosphere could not have been better, with the supporting actors becoming central members. We apologize for inconveniencing the actors and the viewers who love our drama through this controversy.”

 

They continued to emphasize the peaceful and good-natured set atmosphere, commenting, “Like the idols that they are, main actors Yook Sungjae, Jung Chaeyeon, and Yeonwoo all take lead and do not hesitate in promoting the project. It’s to the point where they step up and take care of Lee Jong Won and Son Woo Hyun, who are not as familiar with making-of videos.”

 

Based on the webtoon of the same name, “The Golden Spoon” is a drama about a student born into a poor family who uses a magical golden spoon to swap fates with a friend born into a wealthy family. The drama’s final two episodes will air this week on November 11 and 12 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Yook Sungjae commented, “I feel regretful now that I think about how it’s the end. This is my first project in awhile [due to military enlistment] so thank you for sending so much attention and support. I think ‘The Golden Spoon’ will remain as a project where you can Yook Sungjae’s intense and ambitious acting.” He added, “Although the plot was difficult and deep, a lot of people enjoyed and investigated with each episode, so I was very happy.”

 

Regarding the most memorable scene, Yook Sungjae shared, “The scene in Episode 12 where [my character] Lee Seung Chun and Hwang Tae Yong [Lee Jong Won] discuss whether they’ll choose their real parents or live life as they are is memorable. I thought their wounds and emotions were conveyed well on-screen, so I liked it.”

 

 

Jung Chaeyeon remarked, “It’s not an exaggeration to say that I was with ‘The Golden Spoon’ all throughout 2022. That’s why I think it’ll remain as a sweet memory for a long time.

After promoting as an idol with MOMOLAND for around three years, Yeonwoo made her transition into acting in 2019. She commented, “The fact that my acting career is a bit longer than my idol career makes me think, ‘time has gone by really quickly.'” She continued, “[Being in] an idol group was work I poured my everything into. Although it wasn’t a long period of my youth, it was the foundation of my late teens and early twenties. Since I finished that work quickly, there was a void that came from that. I wandered a lot. That difficult time made it possible for my current self to not break down.”

 

A few of Yeonwoo’s co-stars have also promoted as idols, including Yook Sungjae and Jung Chaeyeon. “I felt that we were similar in our sincerity for this work. Instead of thinking ‘I’ll just try acting,’ [we had] the thought of ‘I really want to do well.'”

 

She elaborated that this sincerity got her cast in “The Golden Spoon,” explaining, “I emphasized to the director that I wanted to appear in ‘The Golden Spoon’ no matter what. Although [my character] Oh Yeo Jin is unlikeable, she’s a character you want to take care of. The fact that I felt those emotions made me really ambitious.”

 

Yeonwoo also described “The Golden Spoon” as a turning point that allowed her to grow, saying, “I learned how to be satisfied with my acting. I realized ‘I can do this kind of acting too’ and this became a project that helped me break stereotypes. I think I’ll remember it for a long, long time.”
