In Bocheon Village, the drinking faction, consisting of Choi Soo-young, Kim Sang-ho, and Jo Yoon-hee, faces off against the sobriety faction, Gong Myoung and Kim Sung-ryung.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Second Shot at Love' is a sober romance drama in which a woman who considers herself a rational drinker takes on her first challenge of sobriety after reuniting with her first love, who hates alcohol. As it approaches its premiere on May 12 at 8:50 p.m., it is sparking viewers' curiosity by hinting at a fiery confrontation between the drinking faction and the sobriety faction.
#Relatable drinking faction, Choi Soo-young, Kim Sang-ho, Jo Yoon-hee
First, the drinking faction is set to evoke a relatable consensus. Han Geum-joo (played by Choi Soo-young) is a self-proclaimed rational drinker who excels at work and never misses a drinking gathering. Her light drinking amid a busy daily life resonates with the lives of modern individuals. For her, sobriety is not merely a decision but a challenging endeavor that requires a complete change of her familiar routine.
In addition, Han Jung-soo (played by Kim Sang-ho), the father of Bocheon who is the drink leader, and his sister Han Hyun-joo (played by Jo Yoon-hee), who has been relieving stress through drinking during parenting, join forces to complete a solid drinking faction of three alcoholics. Anticipation builds regarding the synergy these family members will produce in facing the common challenge of sobriety, despite their strong bond over alcohol.
#Resolute sobriety faction, Gong Myoung, Kim Sung-ryung
In contrast, the sobriety faction, although outnumbered compared to the drinking faction, draws attention with its resolute attitude. Se Eui-jun (played by Gong Myoung), Han Geum-joo's first love and the director of the Bocheon health center, provides practical tips necessary for a sober life along with realistic advice and warm encouragement during the sobriety challenge. Especially since he once enjoyed drinking but has successfully parted ways with alcohol, he garners trust as a member of the sobriety faction.
Han Geum-joo's mother, Kim Gwang-ok (played by Kim Sung-ryung), can no longer stand her family's drinking life and declares a ban on alcohol throughout the household, taking firm action. Her choice is a means to break the cycle of repeated mistakes caused by alcohol, and she conveys genuine feelings amid a storm of criticism, evoking empathy.
'Second Shot at Love' captures the varied daily lives of characters who have extreme approaches and reactions to alcohol while pursuing the goal of '0% blood alcohol concentration.' Some individuals raise their glasses today, while others discourage those actions, heightening curiosity about how their sober journey will unfold.
