Last Summer unveiled the core appeal keywords of the work ahead of its first broadcast this week.
The KBS 2TV new Saturday-Sunday miniseries Last Summer, scheduled to premiere on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 9:20 p.m., directed by Min Yeon-hong, written by Jeon Yu-ri and produced by Monster Union and Slingshot Studio, said today (27th) that its keywords are "summer," "peanut house" and "twin brothers," raising anticipation among prospective viewers.
Last Summer is a remodeling romance drama in which a man and woman who have been friends since childhood confront the truth of their first love hidden inside Pandora's box.
#a season of first love that aches and thrills: "summer"
In the drama, Baek Do-ha (played by Lee Jae-wook) and Song Ha-kyung (played by Choi Seong-eun) have a special relationship in which they meet only during the 21 days of summer vacation in their youth. That is because Do-ha comes to Korea only during summer vacation due to his parents' divorce. At the time, Ha-kyung likes the "summer guest" Do-ha but cannot easily open her heart. As time passes, the two become closer than strangers after an incident that occurred two summers ago.
Meanwhile, Do-ha and Ha-kyung's attitudes toward summer are also interesting. Do-ha thinks of summer positively, while Ha-kyung feels just the opposite. It raises curiosity about what happened in the summers of the two.
The "Last Summer" that arrives in the fall will also offer viewers a special visual experience. Along with the freshness that evokes summer nostalgia, viewers can expect rich sights including the cozy rural scenery of Patanmyeon and the cheerful townspeople, adding to the viewing pleasure.
#Lee Jae-wook and Choi Seong-eun entangled in the "peanut house" lawsuit, and Kim Gun-woo
The peanut house is an indispensable place for Do-ha and Ha-kyung. It is the affectionate house built by their fathers and the place where Do-ha and Ha-kyung met and made memories every summer. Thus, the peanut house is expected to act as a key element driving the drama's narrative. But unlike their happy past, they now bicker over a lawsuit involving the peanut house. Adding to this, Do-ha's hired lawyer Seo Su-hyeok (played by Kim Gun-woo) becomes deeply involved between the two as a fierce courtroom battle looms, signaling the thrilling prelude to a triangular dynamic. In particular, Kim Gun-woo has promised an image change as a sophisticated lawyer, increasing curiosity about what role Su-hyeok will play in the drama.
#Lee Jae-wook as the "twin brothers" vying for Choi Seong-eun
Lee Jae-wook attracts attention by taking on his first dual role since his debut as the twin brothers Baek Do-ha and Baek Do-young in this work. Do-ha and Do-young lived apart after their parents' divorce but boast an exceptional brotherly bond. Do-ha, Do-young and Ha-kyung spent happy summers together every year at the peanut house, but cracks began to form in the three's relationship after Do-young notices Ha-kyung's feelings for Do-ha.
Lee Jae-wook described Last Summer as "a work that is not flashy or dramatic but has a clear presence of its own, like a small giant." As he said, Last Summer has prepared to leave a deep aftertaste through three keywords: refreshing cinematography, a unique spatial background, and the triangular dynamic between the twin brothers and Ha-kyung.
