Seoul, November 13 (Yonhap) -- MBC's Friday and Saturday drama "The Gold Spoon" about the subject of the mysterious gold spoon that can change their whole life with someone else has ended with a viewing rate of 6%.
According to Nielsen Korea, on November 13, the last episode of "The Gold Spoon," which aired on November 12 at 9:50 p.m., recorded a view rate of 6.0%.
In the last episode of the drama, Lee Seung-cheon (Yook Sung-jae) exposed the secret of Hwang Hyeon-do (Choi Won-young) to the public prosecutor's office, saying that he became the head of the Doshin group with the help of the gold spoon and about all the crimes he committed so he could get punished.
However, Hwand Hyeon-do, who noticed Lee Seung-cheon's plan, framed Lee Seung-cheon as the person who killed Chairman Na. Lee Seung-cheon, who became a fugitive, found the gold spoon Hwang Hyeon-do has been hiding with the help of Hwang Tae-Yong, and was ready for the next attack.
Lee Seung-cheon, who ate with Hwang Hyeon-do's golden spoon and gained all his memories, announced to the world that he would donate the entire secret fund that Hwang Hyeon-do had hidden, and Hwang Hyeon-do, who was running away after having a physical fight with Lee Seung-cheon, was eventually handed over to the police.
The drama "The Gold Spoon," which originated from the cartoon, sharply shows the individual's and society's attitude towards the rich and the poor.
At the beginning of the drama, there were concerns that the setting, where the character could just go to someone else's house and eat three times with a gold spoon to change their fate, reduced reality due to the excessive fantasy.
However, as the episodes aired and the secrets of the tangled threads of fate of those holding the golden spoon were revealed one by one, the audience was immersed in the drama. The secrets of Lee Seung-cheon and Hwang Tae-yong, as well as the characters who changed their fate with their desire to become rich, drew tension with plot twists.
Above all, in this society where the inheritance of wealth is accelerating, Lee Seung-cheon, who was swayed by the grandmother who sells gold spoons, saying, "If you change your parents, you can become rich," was understandable, but left a question: "Would you be happy then?"
Lee Seung-cheon, who has felt keenly that poor people cannot keep their dreams or loved ones, chose to live the life of the rich Hwang Tae-yong but could not be with his family and loved ones, and the cost he had to pay for the decision he made drew sympathy.
Unlike Lee Seung-cheon, who was debating between money and family, Hwang Tae-yong's contrasting choice of eating warm kimchi stew made by his mother over living as a chaebol made the audience feel emotional.
Choi Won-young and Yook Sung-jae, who respectively played Lee Seung-cheon and Hwang Tae-yong, were praised for the way they both expressed the features of the characters well through their acting skills.
