Actors Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-hyeop depict a fateful romance.
tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Serendipitys Embrace' (written by Park G-ro, directed by Song Hyun-wook) released still cuts of Kim So-hyun (playing Lee Hong-joo) and Chae Jong-hyeop (playing Kang Hoo-young) on the 8th. The two plan to summon memories of their first love.
'Serendipitys Embrace' is based on a webtoon of the same name. The two meet by chance 10 years after their dull and awkward first love and become intertwined as if by fate. It contains the process of falling in love again.
The still cuts contain a timeline from the age of 19, when first love began, to the age of 29. First, Lee Hong-joo and Kang Hoo-young's first meeting in front of the school gate. Hongju put her Hoo-young's arm around her shoulder and smiled naturally. On the other hand, Hoo-young had a shocked expression.
Hoo-young, who has a beautiful appearance and a brilliant mind, attracts everyone's attention wherever he is. However, he is a dry and cynical person. Lee Hong-joo was bold and outrageous. She even handed Hoo-young her love letter in front of her men's bathroom.
The two reunite on a blind date after 10 years. Hoo-young was embarrassed, but Hongju remained calm. The following photo captured Hong-joo's sparkling eyes as she held Hoo-young's shoulder.
It reminded her of her school days when she would go straight for Hoo-young. Hong-joo falls in love for the first time in her senior year of high school, but becomes skeptical of her love due to the aftereffects of a harsh breakup. When she meets Hoo-young again after 10 years, she is transformed, having witnessed her dull days.
Hoo-young also brings up memories of her first love, which she had forgotten in Korea, upon her return after 10 years. She faces a wave of strong emotions. What things are hidden in these two people's 19 years?
Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-hyeop plan to summon viewers' memories of their first love. Kim So-hyun said, “Actor Chae Jong-hyeop laughed a lot, so the atmosphere on set was always bright. Thanks to that, we had fun filming.”
Chae Jong-hyeop confessed, “I think Kim So-hyun took on the role of Hong-joo and portrayed her character in a more loveable and attractive way,” and added, “Every scene with Hong-joo was fun and enjoyable. Sometimes, I even relied on her.”
'Serendipitys Embrace' will be aired for the first time on the 22nd at 8:40 PM.
