Walking on thin ice tells the story of Kang Eun Soo (Lee Young Ae) - a housewife with a peaceful life and Lee Kyung (Kim Young Kwang) - a double-faced person, both a art teacher of Soo Ah (Kim Si Ah) - Eun Soos daughter, and a drug trafficker at a bar.
After one night, Eun Soo's life suddenly changes as her husband's illness becomes serious, and the family goes bankrupt. After that, she accidentally finds a mysterious bag, has a surprise meeting with her daughter's art teacher and is caught up in a drug case. To protect his family, Eun Soo goes through many events, facing good and evil choices.
According to Lee Young Ae, because it is related to the drug topic, the film's content is somewhat heavy, but due to the meaningful message, she still decided to participate. The actress hopes that Walking on thin ice will not only resonate with the broadcaster, but also be a turning point for her personal career. I believe this film can be both entertaining and an opportunity to reflect on social issues, she said.
In this project, Lee Young Ae will show the character's multidimensional personality, while also being physically prepared. In the second half of the film, she made many action scenes. The 54-year-old actress spends a lot of time practicing and jogging to maintain endurance with the purpose of conveying the truth to the audience.
Eun Soo is a person full of hope. Her life was originally like a peaceful blue color, but after the incident, it gradually turned gray. Eun Soo may be both the culprit and the victim, but I want the character to leave the audience with a beacon of hope" - Lee Young Ae shared.
Previously, the Korean star shared that she was always cautious in choosing works: My wish is to become a mother and an actress thinking about the future of my children. After all, I realized that if I showed my children how hard their mothers worked, they would tend to follow the same path. That is why I become cautious when accepting to play the main role in any film.
