Golden Spoon revolves around Lee Seung-cheon (played by Yook), a poor student at a prestigious high school who suddenly swaps families with his wealthy friend, Hwang Tae-yong (Lee Jong-won), using a mysterious golden spoon sold to him by a street vendor.

As the story progresses, he begins to struggle between his desire to escape poverty and his reluctance to give up his real family. Along the way, Seung-cheon also encounters the honest, down-to-earth Na Jo-hee (played by Chae-yeon) and bold Oh Yeo-jin (Yeonwoo), both of whom were raised in wealthy families.

The series is helmed by director Song Hyun-wook, who has worked on hit dramas and films like The King’s Affection, Another Oh Hae-young, Beauty Inside, among others. He is joined by screenwriter Kim Eun-hee, who has written for Winter Sonata and Sweet 18.

Golden Spoon premieres on MBC on September 23 at 9:50pm KST, and will air on Fridays.
