JTBC’s upcoming drama “My Youth” has shared a sneak peek of Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee’s past and present!
“My Youth” is a romance drama starring Song Joong Ki as Sunwoo Hae, a man who begins living an ordinary life later than most people, and Chun Woo Hee as Sung Je Yeon, a woman who must shatter the peace of her first love for her own success.
Newly released stills from the upcoming drama capture the young Sunwoo Hae (Nam Da Reum) and Sung Je Yeon (Jeon So Young) in their teenage years, back when they were each other’s first love. For both Sunwoo Hae, a child star who had to give up his youth to make a living, and Sung Je Yeon, who was stuck living a strictly managed life with no time to dream of straying off course, their first love was a spark of light in their otherwise dreary lives.
One still shows the young students sitting side by side in their uniforms at school, while another captures Sunwoo Hae shyly confessing his feelings to Sung Je Yeon by the sea. As he hands her a bouquet of flowers, Sung Je Yeon smiles so brightly that it’s clear she returns his affections.
However, when Sunwoo Hae and Sung Je Yeon reunite as adults, the atmosphere is very different. When they unexpectedly run into one another, both appear more startled than happy to see their first love again.
Later, as they look into each other’s eyes at night, there is a wistfulness to their gazes that suggest their long-forgotten memories of the past have begun to return.
Song Joong Ki remarked, “For Sunwoo Hae, Sung Je Yeon is his savior. Sung Je Yeon is the person who dragged Sunwoo Hae out of hiding and made it possible for him to step out into the world.”
The actor also spoke enthusiastically about his experience working with his co-star Chun Woo Hee, recalling, “While we were filming, I spent a lot of time talking to Chun Woo Hee. I felt comfortable and reassured because we were able to work while communicating openly and honestly with each other.”
Meanwhile, Chun Woo Hee described Sunwoo Hae and Sung Je Yeon’s relationship as a “box of memories.” She explained, “When you open it, you are instantly transported back to that time, which you had forgotten all about.”
As for her experience working with Song Joong Ki, Chun Woo Hee shared, “We felt comfortable around each other from the very beginning. We had a lot of conversations about the script and pondered together as we filmed the drama. We were very considerate of one another, and the atmosphere on set was great.”
“My Youth,” which premieres on September 5 at 8:50 p.m. KST, will be available with subtitles on Viki. Check out a teaser for the drama here!
