,
The production team of JTBC’s new Friday series ‘My Youth’ (written by Park Si-hyeon, directed by Lee Sang-yeob and Go Hye-jin, produced by Hi-Zium Studio), premiering on September 5, announced on the 13th the release of the first teaser video showing the reunion of first loves, Sun Woo-hae (played by Song Joong-ki) and Sung Jae-yeon (played by Chun Woo-hee).
,
‘My Youth’ follows the emotional romance between Sun Woo-hae, starting an ordinary life later than others, and Sung Jae-yeon, who unintentionally disrupts the peace of first love. It’s a journey of rediscovering the forgotten fragments of oneself through a reunion with first love that once lit up a dark and shaded place. Director Lee Sang-yeob, known for his detailed direction in series like ‘Yumi’s Cells’ and ‘Familiar Wife,’ and writer Park Si-hyeon, praised for her distinctive writing in ‘Run On,’ have teamed up to thrill drama fans.

While previous teaser videos and posters heightened curiosity about the first love of nineteen-year-olds, the first teaser video released today raises expectations for the story these now-adult characters will paint. Sung Jae-yeon was the only light in Sun Woo-hae’s cloudy nineteenth year. The name of the unforgettable first love that Sun Woo-hae calls out with an astonished yet tender look hints at deep affection.
,
The pure and dream-filled memories of first love recalled upon seeing each other again are enriched by Sung Jae-yeon’s words, “It would be a lie to say I never thought of you in my life. Meeting you again takes me back instantly.” This statement reignites long-buried feelings of first love from deep within the heart.
,
Sung Jae-yeon, still wishing for Sun Woo-hae’s small wounds to heal quickly, has not changed since nineteen, and Sun Woo-hae’s warm gaze towards her remains consistent. Sun Woo-hae’s voice saying, “Did you miss me too? Seeing how I’ve grown?” reveals his longing for first love Sung Jae-yeon. Despite the passage of time, the one unchanged fact is that they remain each other’s ‘first love,’ drawing attention to their reunion romance.

Song Joong-ki transforms into ‘Sun Woo-hae,’ a former child star who spent his prime too quickly and is now a novelist and florist. After his brief peak, he spent his 20s striving for livelihood, building a sturdy life on top of his wounds. Encountering his first love, ‘Sung Jae-yeon,’ brings changes to his now peaceful routine.

Chun Woo-hee plays ‘Sung Jae-yeon,’ a straightforward bulldozer management team leader and Sun Woo-hae’s first love. As she disrupts the tranquility of her first love, Sun Woo-hae, she confronts lost feelings she left behind. Anticipation builds over the kind of delightful disruption Sung Jae-yeon and Sun Woo-hae’s reunion will bring to each other’s ordinary lives.

Following the release of the first teaser video, various social media and online communities erupted with responses like, “Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee have great chemistry. Nostalgic yet exciting,” “It’s a coming-of-age first love brought by Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee, just what I wanted,” and “Their nineteen-year-old selves are adorable, and their current selves are captivating.”
