Actors Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun will team up for a romance drama.
Scheduled to premiere in November, KBS 2TV's new Saturday-Sunday miniseries 'Last Summer' (directed by Min Yeon-hong / written by Jeon Yu-ri / produced by Monster Union and Slingshot Studio) is a remodeling romance drama that unfolds as a male and female friend, who have known each other since childhood, confront the truth of their first love hidden in a Pandora's box.
'Last Summer' is a collaboration between director Min Yeon-hong, who has gained recognition for his stylish direction in works like 'Royal Loader', 'Missing: They Were There' series, and 'Insider', and writer Jeon Yu-ri, known for her charming writing style in 'Kiss Sixth Sense' and 'Radio Romance', marking a significant impact in the romance genre. Moreover, the fresh pairing of Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun has excited many drama fans. Notably, this will be Lee Jae-wook and director Min Yeon-hong's second collaboration since 'Royal Loader'.
Lee Jae-wook will take on dual roles as the talented architect Baek Do-ha and the mysterious character Baek Do-young. The twin brothers face changes due to an event two years ago, having grown apart after their parents' divorce during childhood, with the younger brother Do-ha living in the U.S. and the older brother Do-young staying in Korea. During summer vacation, which lasts only 21 days, Do-ha spends time with his twin brother and his father's friend's daughter Song Ha-gyeong at the peanut house built by their dad. However, the three, who are inseparable, encounter irreversible changes due to an incident that occurred two years ago. Lee Jae-wook, who has been active across various genres including 'Tangled', 'Royal Loader', 'Alchemy of Souls' series, 'Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol', and 'Just One Day', is expected to showcase the essence of romance through 'Last Summer'.
Choi Sung-eun plays Song Ha-gyeong, a public employee in architecture who wants to leave 'The Broken Surface'. Having grown up teasing Do-ha, who only comes during the summer, Ha-gyeong develops feelings for him as time goes on. However, she struggles to express her feelings to Do-ha, who only visits in the summer, and feels anger upon discovering a shocking event that occurred between the twin brothers after becoming an adult. Choi Sung-eun, who has showcased her versatile acting in dramas such as 'Anarchist from Colony', 'Monstrous', and 'SF8 - The Astronaut Cho An', is anticipated to express another charm by portraying a professional public servant with complex emotions stemming from past wounds.
In relation to this, the production team noted, 'The romance chemistry between the trusted actors Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun is already gathering expectations.' They added, 'Not only the romance between the two characters but also the unique theme of architecture that has not been well addressed in dramas before, along with the narratives surrounding the protagonists, fill 'Last Summer' with diverse episodes. We ask for your interest and love from viewers.'
Meanwhile, the charming chemistry between Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun can be seen in KBS 2TV's new Saturday-Sunday miniseries 'Last Summer', which will premiere in November.
