In the first two episodes, which aired on the 5th, Lee Joo-myung stepped into the shoes of Mo Tae-rin, an actress who started as a child star and has since matured into a respected performer. Her eccentric and vibrant 4D charm immediately caught the viewers' attention from the premiere. 'My Youth' is an emotional romance drama starring Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee, depicting the blossoming of life when one reunites with their first love after a decade, who helped them through their darkest times.
From her very first appearance, Mo Tae-rin showcased a unique 'womance' chemistry with her manager, Sung Je-yeon (played by Chun Woo-hee), drawing significant attention. Especially in front of her senior colleague Sung Je-yeon, whom she is constantly with on and off set, Lee Joo-myung exuded a relaxed yet adorable younger sister vibe, amplifying her charm.
Furthermore, her chance encounter with her first love, Kim Seok-ju (played by Seo Ji-hoon), who provided solace during her school days, elicited both laughter and fluttering hearts. Upon hearing Kim Seok-ju's voice again, Mo Tae-rin unexpectedly shed tears, and their exchange as they inquired about each other's well-being created a subtle romantic tension, raising anticipation for their future relationship.
With her bubbly personality and sweet smile, Lee Joo-myung perfectly embodied the character of Mo Tae-rin, signaling a refreshing departure from her previous roles. Her signature bright and sophisticated visuals blend seamlessly with the drama's emotional ambiance, significantly enhancing viewer immersion.
