On April 21, tvN unveiled the main cast lineup, which includes Yum Jung-ah, Park Hae-joon, rising star Choi Yoon-ji, and Kim Min-kyu.
💌 Plot: A Second-Chance Love Story
For My First Love tells the interwoven story of a bold single mom and her med student daughter—each confronting past wounds while discovering unexpected love in the present.
🎭 Yum Jung-ah plays Lee Ji-an, a tough, no-nonsense single mother who manages construction sites. Her seemingly rock-solid life begins to unravel after a clash with her daughter's rebellious choices—and the unexpected return of her first love.
