Will Choi Dokyung’s David win the battle of faith?
When I watched the cliffhanger ending of Episode 48 of KBS Drama “My Golden Life”, I couldn’t help thinking “David challenging Goliath’!
Physically, this tiny pint-size young David taking on a heftier built older Goliath. Young punk David barely weaned off his MBA degree with only five years of working experience under his belt and trying to take on a seasoned, street smart Goliath with extensive, proven track record.
But most importantly, a handicapped David with his maternal grandfather down and out in hospital and he had no strong backing from either the Board of Directors or shareholders of the Haesung Group. But he stood up courageously to go head-on with Goliath who had well laid plans and majority support, having lobbied underground for this coup d’etat for a mighty long time.
David challenging Goliath
What on earth was Park Sihoo-ssi’s Choi Dokyung thinking when he got up and put himself up as candidate for Chairman of Haesung Group? Was he thinking that his David could win his uncle’s Goliath? Especially when every backer and so called friend that they had thought they could rely on had turned his or her back? Even his parents were totally shocked by his actions when they themselves have been effectively ousted from their positions!
Whatever Father Seo had uncovered and texted the information to Choi Dokyung, would this be sufficient to turn the tables on the usurpers and help him win the battle?
Good luck David! We hope you will win as we would love to call you Chairman Choi Dokyung! 의장님!

“我黄金光辉的人生”第48集: 大伟对歌利亚
当我观看KBS电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”第48集的悬念曲折结尾时，我脑海里想着“大伟David挑战歌利亚Goliath”！
从身材上看，那位身材娇小， 年轻的大伟向比较高大身子的长辈歌利亚宣战。年轻小伙子大伟，刚得到MBA学位，只有五年的工作经验，怎么凭得过老江湖，经验丰富，拥有广泛可靠的成功记录的歌利亚。
但最重要的是，大伟因为外祖父病倒住院，没有得到董事会或海星集团股东强有力的支持，但他还是勇敢的挺身而出。他将如何去跟计划已久，有足够时间去协商并获得了大多数支持的歌利亚去争胜负呢？有点不知量力吧？
Choi Dokyung spurred to protect his family
施厚君饰演的崔道京为了保护家人的利益站了出来，挑战担任海星集团会长的候选人时，究竟在想些什么？他以为他的大伟能赢过姨父的歌利亚吗？特别是当可以依靠的每一位支持者和所谓的朋友都背叛了他和家人？
徐父亲究竟发现了什么，把信息发送给了崔道京，足以帮助他打胜仗吗？
祝大伟好运！我们都希望你得胜，因为喜欢称你为崔道京会长！의장님!

Nobody expected David to beat Goliath either. I’m convinced CDK did his self-recommendation for CEO to buy time for father Seo to arrive with the proof that Noh Jin Hee and her husband gained the majority of share votes through fraudulent acts. The Angel Foundation (the yellow buss) is the key. The parents refused to talk, but they are no way able to pay for the expensive child care by themselves without any financial help. So I’m eagerly waiting how next episode will evolve!
I haven’t watched any preview of ep 48 but after reading Nance’s article, I can imagine the scene as the cliff hanger ending of ep 48. As Nance has pointed out, MBA and 5 years experience to take on the long experienced uncle who already lobbied sufficiently for strong support, indeed is David vs Goliath. And I agree with Wilma the prediction of such a move by DK is to stall the AGM to buy time.
I like the article, I like the comparison of the fight between Do Kyung/David and his uncle, Jung Myung Soo/Goliath, for the supremacy of Haesung Group. The usage of the phrase “David vs Goliath” has the meaning of a combat where smaller, weaker opponent faces a much bigger, stronger adversity, but successfully this weak opponent wins in an unusual, surprising way. When Do Kyung and his parents were facing the betrayal of so called ” friends and associates” , facing the most degrading defeat for the supremacy of Haesung Group, facing his aunt and uncle’s treacherous act, when the majority of the shareholders wanted to appoint Jung Myung Soo as the new CEO , the biggest surprise, the unexpected blow came from Do Kyung:”I’ll run for the CEO position I recommend myself for the CEO candidancy.” . And I come back to “David and Goliath”. When Goliath, the Philistine army’s giant, over nine feet tall,wearing full armor, who terriefied and mocked the Israelites to fight, a young Israelite teenager, David, volunteered to fight Goliath and oppose the giant. Dressed in his simple tunic, carrying his shepherd’s staff, sling, and a pouch full of stones, David approached Goliath and simply took a stone out of his bag and slung it at the Goliath’s head, sucessfully finding a hole in Goliath’s armor,and hitting the giant’s forehead, In a second the giant fell face down on the ground.The Philistines seeing their hero dead, ran from the battlefield. When Do Kyung announced his candidacy for CEO, his open fight against the giant, Jung Kyung Soo, when Do Kyung throw the stone into his rival’s forehead, he was sure he would defeat him.And he believed Jian’s father piece of information unveiling the fraud of his uncle and aunt. Although everybody believed Jung Myung Soo invincibility , Do Kyung put things in his proper perspective, seeing more clearly , realizing the fight more effectively. And I’m sure he will be appointed ,in an open courageous fight, “David vs Goliath”, as CEO of Haesung Group. I’m waiting with eagerness the victory of Do Kyung in episode 49.
