KBS 2TV’s upcoming drama “Live Your Own Life” has shared a sneak peek of Uee and Ha Jun’s unfortunate first encounter!
“Live Your Own Life” is a new drama starring Uee as Lee Hyo Shim, a warmhearted personal trainer and self-sacrificing daughter who has always put her family’s needs before her own—until she finally makes up her mind to break free from her leech-like family and pursue her own happiness. Ha Jun will star as Kang Tae Ho, the director of the planning division of a conglomerate group, who eventually winds up becoming one of Hyo Shim’s clients.
In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Hyo Shim and Tae Ho get off on the wrong foot during their chaotic first meeting. As a former track-and-field athlete, Hyo Shim goes for an early-morning run every day, and on one fateful run, she accidentally falls towards Tae Ho while trying to avoid an oncoming bicycle.
When Hyo Shim asks Tae Ho for his contact information so that she can get in touch with him regarding medical treatment, Tae Ho glares at her and retorts frostily, “My contact information is a bit expensive.” Shocked by his response, an annoyed Hyo Shim stares at Tae Ho in disbelief.
Reflecting on the nature of their characters’ dynamic, Uee commented, “Maybe it’s because they started bickering as soon as they met, but Hyo Shim gets honest when she’s with Tae Ho. There’s a comfortable charm about Tae Ho, where Hyo Shim is able to show him her true self, and it’s because of Tae Ho that Hyo Shim starts to think about living life for herself.”
Meanwhile, Ha Jun teased that things will change between the two characters when they meet for the second time.
“When [Tae Ho] discovers [Hyo Shim] working out alone at the gym in the wee hours of the morning, he is both surprised and awed,” shared the actor. “Tae Ho has always thought that because he’s in the midst of a battlefield, he can’t afford to develop feelings for someone. But he’s actually always really wanted to lean on someone, and he finds himself gradually wanting more and more to lean on Hyo Shim, who works hard and has a strong sense of responsibility.”
“Live Your Own Life” premieres on September 16 at 8:05 p.m. KST and will be available with subtitles on Viki.
KBS2’s upcoming weekend drama “Live Your Own Life” has released a new teaser!
“Live Your Own Life” tells the story of the warmhearted Lee Hyo Shim, who finally decides to get away from her leech-like family and pursue her own happiness away from them. Uee plays the role of Lee Hyo Shim, a filial daughter who dedicates herself to her family. As she is naturally athletic and skilled at physical activities, she immediately snagged a job as a personal trainer right after graduating high school and currently works at a fitness center in Gangnam while supporting her family.
The newly released teaser previews Lee Hyo Shim wanting to break free from her irresponsible family. Although Hyo Shim is a successful health trainer, she is busy supporting her mother Sun Soon (Yoon Mi Ra) and immature younger brother Hyo Do (Kim Do Yeon), who only adds to her troubles by taking a private loan.
Furthermore, when Hyo Shim tries to give an allowance to her older brother Hyo Joon (Seol Jung Hwan) who has been studying for the law exam for many years, he only gets angry at her, saying, “I feel like losing my mind when I’m interrupted while studying!” Since no one is grateful for her support, Hyo Shim can only dream of living an independent life from the rest of her family.
To Hyo Shim who struggles with her family life, she feels the most enjoyment during her job as a fitness trainer. In particular, she enjoys exercising with Tae Min (Go Joo Won), the head of the management division of a major company. With handsome looks on top of a good personality, Tae Min is a VIP client who has trained with Hyo Shim for three years.
However, while he is away, Tae Min’s cousin Tae Ho (Ha Jun) comes to the gym to exercise at the same early hours of the day—only, he rejects exercising with Hyo Shim. Nevertheless, taking great pride in her work, Hyo Shim insists, “Try having classes with me for just a week,” making viewers wonder if Hyo Shim will be able to change Tae Ho’s mind.
The end of the teaser previews Tae Ho’s complicated family background as his grandmother Myung Hee (Jung Young Sook) goes missing. Although Tae Ho’s aunt Sook Hyang (Lee Hwi Hyang), who is also Tae Min’s mother, lies by saying that his grandmother went missing after suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, the truth is that Sook Hyang locked Myung Hee up in a nursing home in order to make her husband the chairman of their group. In the teaser, Myung Hee tries to escape and gets hit by Hyo Do’s car, unexpectedly intertwining Hyo Shim’s and Tae Ho’s families.

KBS2’s upcoming drama “Live Your Own Life” has shared new stills of Ha Jun and Go Joo Won!
“Live Your Own Life” tells the story of the warmhearted Lee Hyo Shim (played by Uee), who finally decides to get away from her leech-like family and pursue her own happiness away from them.
Ha Jun will be playing the role of Kang Tae Ho, the director of the planning division of a conglomerate group. Kang Tae Ho has both looks and skills, and he will become intertwined with Lee Hyo Shim after an unexpected incident. Go Joo Won will play Tae Ho’s cousin, Kang Tae Min, a third-generation chaebol heir who has both a good personality and manners.
In the drama, Tae Ho turns down a job offer from a major American company to return to Korea because there is a truth that he must uncover. However, he hides his true objective and becomes the head of the planning division of a conglomerate group, where his older uncle is the chairman and his cousin Tae Min is the General Manager.
Tae Ho feels sad for his father, who lost out to Tae Ho’s father in the competition for the position of the group’s chairman, and he puts all his effort into protecting the position his father struggled to secure after his younger uncle passed away. As such, it’s inevitable that there will be competition to become the group’s successor. There will also be a love triangle between Hyo Shim, Tae Ho, and Tae Min.
The newly released stills depict the love-hate relationship between Tae Ho and Tae Min. The two cousins, who haven’t seen each other in a long time, greet each other with friendly smiles. However, there is no physical contact such as handshakes or hugs, which you’d expect from people with a close relationship, and they seem awkward as they stand across from each other.
Tae Ho visits Tae Min at work and questions him about something, creating tension.
Actor Ha Jun, who plays Tae Ho, commented, “Tae Ho has been compared to Tae Min since he was a kid. Even in Tae Ho’s eyes, Tae Min is a perfect person. Tae Ho’s grandmother told him that he could surpass his cousin, but he doubts whether he can really ever be as good as [Tae Min].”
He continued, “Tae Ho is better at dealing with people than his cousin. He has a way of getting people to be on his side, so I think he will have an edge in the competition.”
Ha Jun also praised his co-star Go Joo Won, revealing, “I always feel that he is considerate. I think that’s why I feel so at ease when I’m acting with Go Joo Won. I am very grateful for that.”
Meanwhile, Go Joo Won remarked, “For Tae Min, Tae Ho is a younger cousin whom he likes. Unlike Tae Min, Tae Ho has a lot of bright energy. Tae Min is actually envious of that aspect of Tae Ho.”
Talking about actor Ha Jun, Go Joo Won shared, “He’s someone I feel comfortable talking to about acting and personal things. I think he helps me a lot when I’m portraying Tae Min.”
The production team of “Live Your Own Life” commented, “Tae Ho and Tae Min’s charms are very different. This makes the love triangle between Hyo Shim, Tae Ho, and Tae Min even more interesting. Also, Tae Ho and Tae Min’s family has a hidden past. As the truth is slowly revealed, the relationship between Tae Ho and Tae Min will change. Please look forward to the fierce competition between the two men.”
“Live Your Own Life” premieres on September 16 at 8:05 p.m. KST.
