Lee Jae-wook & Choi Sung-eun's Teasing Chemistry Shines in 'The Last Summer' Preview

A comprehensive preview video for KBS 2TV's new Saturday-Sunday mini-series 'The Last Summer' has been released, showcasing the bickering chemistry between leads Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun.

Set to premiere on November 1st at 9:20 PM, 'The Last Summer' (directed by Min Yeon-hong, written by Jeon Yu-ri) is a remodeling romance drama that unfolds as a man and woman, friends since childhood, confront the truth of their hidden first love.

The newly released preview begins with Baek Do-ha (Lee Jae-wook) and Song Ha-kyung (Choi Sung-eun) dressed in mourning attire. Ha-kyung, with a gaze filled with resentment, tells Do-ha, “Let’s never see each other again,” hinting at a turbulent past.

The video then jumps to their reunion, sparking intrigue about their story. Ha-kyung questions why Do-ha returned to ‘Patan-myeon’ and why he insists on living with her, while Do-ha calmly reacts to her hostility. Their strained relationship is further complicated by the revelation that they are engaged in a lawsuit over a duplex house.

The escalating tension is amplified as Ha-kyung sends a legal notice, and Do-ha hires lawyer Seo Soo-hyuk (Kim Gun-woo) to counter it. Viewers are left wondering about their obsession with the duplex house and the outcome of their fierce legal battle.

Subsequently, Do-ha hands Ha-kyung a cohabitation contract, marking the beginning of their unconventional living arrangement. Scenes of Ha-kyung peeking at Do-ha through a hole in the wall, and Do-ha teasingly asking, “Can’t sleep?” as if he knows, evoke a sense of budding romance.

The preview continues with heartwarming moments, including them playing Yut Nori with village residents and Do-ha gazing at Ha-kyung’s bright smile with a warm expression. Do-ha’s final, cryptic line, “Waiting around doing nothing is enough for the last two years,” signals a significant shift in their relationship, heightening anticipation for the premiere.

Korean netizens are buzzing about the on-screen chemistry between Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun. Comments include praise for their visual pairing and excitement over their 'bickering yet sweet' dynamic, with many expressing eagerness for the first episode.
