'For the First Love' offers a full package of laughter, excitement, emotion, and healing.
'For the First Love', the new tvN drama scheduled to premiere on Aug. 4 (Mon) (directed by Yoo Jae-won, written by Seong Woo-jin, planned and produced by Studio Dragon), illustrates the story of a single mom and her medical student daughter, who unexpectedly embrace a second act in life and decide to live for today's happiness instead of tomorrow's, instead of facing the end, they confront their first love. It promises a narrative that is sometimes cheerful yet heartwarming, and at other times exciting yet poignant. With six days to go until the premiere, here are some key points that make 'For the First Love' a must-watch.
# 'First Love Combination' Yum Jung-ah, Park Hae-jun, Choi Yoon-ji, Kim Min-kyu's exciting meeting
The meeting of Yum Jung-ah, Park Hae-jun, Choi Yoon-ji, and Kim Min-kyu in the 'First Love Combination' is undoubtedly the best point to watch. Yum Jung-ah plays the role of 'Lee Ji-an', a single mom who has lived firmly with confidence. She shows a wide emotional range, being a strong site manager yet a soft-hearted mother to her daughter Lee Hyori (played by Choi Yoon-ji). Park Hae-jun portrays 'Ryu Jeong-seok', Lee Ji-an's first love and an irritable architectural designer. As a single dad living alone with his son Ryu Bo-hyun (played by Kim Min-kyu), he captivates with his unexpected charm that only Lee Ji-an can disarm. Choi Yoon-ji plays 'Lee Hyori', a former straight-laced medical student turned rebellious youth. Despite her eventful life, she starts the greatest deviation of her life, bringing realism through her character. Kim Min-kyu appears as 'Ryu Bo-hyun', a confident young farmer and owner of a flower farm. Having grown every flower in his field, he blossoms unfamiliar emotions due to Lee Hyori, capturing the viewers' hearts. Featuring the 'excessive purity' romance of trusted actors Yum Jung-ah and Park Hae-jun, the 'excessive excitement' youth romance of rising stars Choi Yoon-ji and Kim Min-kyu, and the essential 'excessive love-hate' family affection, the various shapes of 'First Love' from their meeting create anticipation.
# This is the story we need right now! A healing drama that provides a 'comma' in our weary lives.
The anticipation is also heightened by the collaboration of director Yoo Jae-won, known for his warm and delicate directing in works like 'Love Next Door', 'Crash Course in Romance', and 'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha', with writer Seong Woo-jin, who has solid and fresh writing skills. Especially through the previously revealed intentions of the project, it conveys the ultimate message of 'Don't postpone the real happiness I can enjoy right now', focusing on the story we need most right now, living in a busy life where we have pushed the value of 'happiness' to the back. In the drama, Lee Ji-an and Lee Hyori are expected to hit the brakes on their lives, which have been rushing forward, and pursue 'today's happiness', not tomorrow's commitments or future plans. With the promise of providing a 'comma' in our weary lives, another healing drama that brings comfort and support is awaited more than ever.
# 'Joyful Cheat Key' The presence of acting masters! Flawless performances and a character lineup
The presence of acting masters, who add laughter, emotion, and reality at just the right moments in the drama, is extraordinary. Actors such as Kim Sun-young, Yang Kyung-won, Kim Mi-kyung, Kang Ae-sim, Jung Young-joo, and Park Soo-young showcase flawless performances that reveal their characters. Kim Sun-young plays the role of 'Kim Sun-young', a loyal friend and owner of a restaurant on the construction site, supporting Lee Ji-an with a realistic performance. Yang Kyung-won portrays 'Yoon Tae-oh', the surfing club president who lives his life with relaxed philosophy, amplifying the character's unique charm. Kim Mi-kyung appears as 'Jeong Moon-hee', a mysterious neighbor who suddenly appears before Lee Ji-an and Lee Hyori, generating curiosity and immersion. Additionally, Kang Ae-sim, Jung Young-joo, and Park Soo-young reinvigorate the drama with their vivid performances. Kang Ae-sim plays 'Mimi Halmae', a beloved and chatty figure in the village who has guarded Mimi's shop for years, while Jung Young-joo plays 'Go Lee-jang', a one-of-a-kind woman with consecutive six-term elections, and Park Soo-young portrays the loving yet easygoing husband of Go Lee-jang, becoming a vital part of the villagers.
