Last Summer is holding viewers with the romance narrative of Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun.
The KBS2 weekend miniseries Last Summer, which airs at 9:20 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays (written by Jeon Yu-ri, directed by Min Yeon-hong, produced by Monster Union and Slingshot Studio), recently featured a kiss between Baek Do-ha (Lee Jae-wook) and Song Ha-gyeong (Choi Sung-eun) that sparked major conversation. Here is a look at the romance narrative of the two who met again after many twists and turns.
Do-ha and Ha-gyeong are childhood friends who have stayed by each other's side under the name of friendship for 17 years. In particular, Do-ha has been portrayed as the only person who perfectly understands the "Song Ha-gyeong language," in which she speaks the opposite of her true feelings since childhood, giving viewers fluttering emotions. Do-ha's ability to catch Ha-gyeong's true feelings hidden behind her rough manner of speaking before anyone else was enough to show the deep bond shared only by the two.
But the friendship that seemed unbreakable reached an inflection point when the past with Baek Do-young (Lee Jae-wook) and the present, in which Ha-gyeong accepted the confession from Seo Su-hyeok (Kim Gun-woo) and began a serious relationship, collided. After hearing about the two's romance, Do-ha exploded with childish jealousy, creating laughter. Though he tried to act cool, Do-ha's jealousy over Ha-gyeong's every move became a viewing point that added to the drama's fun.
Still, Do-ha's love did not stop. Refusing to stop going straight toward Ha-gyeong, Do-ha created a decisive turning point in a recent episode. After hearing that Do-ha had been hurt, Ha-gyeong rushed to the peanut house, and when Do-ha faced her, who was tearful with worry over him, he could not hide his overwhelming joy. Ultimately, Do-ha burst the dam of a 17-year unrequited love with a surprise kiss. The couple's kiss ending made viewers' hearts explode and raised expectations for future developments to the highest level.
Regarding this, the production team of Last Summer said, "After 17 years, Do-ha and Ha-gyeong finally faced each other's hearts, and their romance will deepen further," adding, "Please look forward to how Ha-gyeong will sort out her relationship with Su-hyeok, and the growing pains and thrills Do-ha and Ha-gyeong will experience in the process of moving from friends to lovers."
Episode 9 of the KBS2 weekend miniseries Last Summer will air at 9:20 p.m. on Saturday the 29th.
