JTBC’s upcoming Friday drama “My Youth” has unveiled the first glimpse of Chun Woo Hee in character!
“My Youth” is a romance drama that tells the story of Sunwoo Hae (Song Joong Ki), who begins to live an ordinary life later than most people, and Sung Je Yeon (Chun Woo Hee), who must disrupt her first love’s tranquility for her own success.
The stills of Sung Je Yeon show her as a management team leader, far removed from the life plan of a model student whose days once revolved entirely around college entrance exams. Never letting her phone out of sight, Sung Je Yeon wears a warm smile, but her sharp eyes reveal the passion of a seasoned manager.
A bulldozer when it comes to speaking her mind, Sung Je Yeon still excels at mental care, noticing even the smallest changes in actress Mo Tae Rin (Lee Joo Myung). In the still, she is seen talking with her, making eye contact as as the actress worries over her script, showing her kind and attentive side.
For Sung Je Yeon, the time spent with Sunwoo Hae, who shone brighter than anyone during the gray, routine-filled days of her 19th year, was a welcome escape from a life lived strictly by the rules. Reuniting as adults, her first love, Sunwoo Hae, brings back emotions she had long forgotten. Sung Je Yeon’s radiant smile hints at the changes he has brought to her life.
Chun Woo Hee said, “‘My Youth’ is a compelling story because it captures both love and personal growth. There are clumsy and painful moments, but that’s what makes it even more beautiful. It lets you look back on someone from your past with fondness.”
She went on to describe her character, saying, “She’s someone who thinks love can be treated like work and dives in headfirst. Her clumsy attempts at love are endearing, and it will be fun to watch her emotions, feelings, and expressions slowly grow.” She added, “I tried to portray Sung Je Yeon’s changing feelings toward Sunwoo Hae with care.”
“My Youth” is set to premiere on September 5 at 8:50 p.m. KST and will air two consecutive episodes every Friday. The drama will be available on Viki.
