The first love of actor Gong Myoung unfolds.
The TVING original series 'Way Back Love', set to premiere on April 3, 2025, features a fantasy romance where 'Heewan (played by Kim Min-ha)', who has turned her back on the world and let her youth slip away, meets her first love 'Ramwoo (played by Gong Myoung)', who appears as a grim reaper. In the series, Gong Myoung plays the role of Kim Ramwoo, who has a deep and thoughtful heart and a warm appearance. He appears as a grim reaper in front of Heewan after having passed away six years prior and will carry out an extraordinary bucket list over the course of a week.
Gong Myoung revealed his perfect transformation into Kim Ramwoo through still cuts. His look, adorned with a kind and warm gaze and a smile, perfectly captured the high school uniform, evoking memories of first love that anyone might have experienced at least once. Moreover, as a grim reaper, his appearance in a black trench coat and leather long jacket still exudes a warm yet somewhat chilling atmosphere, drawing attention.
Gong Myoung chose 'Way Back Love' as his first drama in four years. He noted that he decided to participate because it is a work that is "cute, lovable, and even full of pathos," and thus, the released still cuts and trailer provide a glimpse of Gong Myoung's diverse portrayal that is garnering anticipation.
In particular, Gong Myoung's passionate performance was recognized early by audiences at the Busan International Film Festival last year. 'Way Back Love' was invited to the Busan International Film Festival's 'On Screen' section, allowing the audience to experience it firsthand. Viewers praised the performance, saying, "The acting that transcends time is perfect," and "Gong Myoung's grim reaper visuals are impressive." Additionally, director Kim Hye-young mentioned, "He has the power to express deep emotions quietly and calmly. I had faith in actor Gong Myoung, who is delivering increasingly profound performances."
Interest and expectations are growing regarding what kind of portrayal Gong Myoung will deliver as he showcases first love of youth, having presented his unique acting in every work regardless of genre or character.
Meanwhile, the TVING original series 'Way Back Love', starring Gong Myoung, will premiere on April 3, 2025, at 12 p.m.
