Actress Choi Sung-eun is set to captivate audiences with her portrayal of the complex character Song Ha-kyung in the upcoming KBS 2TV weekend mini-series, 'The Last Summer.' The drama, slated to premiere on November 1st, is a remodeling romance that explores the truth behind a childhood first love as two long-time friends confront hidden secrets.

Choi Sung-eun plays Song Ha-kyung, who abandoned her medical studies to become a civil servant in architecture in Patan-myeon, a town bordering the DMZ.

Newly released stills offer a glimpse into Ha-kyung's dynamic life. She's seen cycling to work in a town where gunshots are heard and engaging in work-related discussions while wearing her ID badge. The images also hint at emotional turmoil as she encounters Baek Do-ha (Lee Jae-wook), a childhood friend with whom she grew distant two years prior due to an unspecified incident. Ha-kyung, who lived next door to Do-ha's family, finds her plans to quickly sell her house disrupted by his sudden reappearance, promising an exciting narrative.

Expectations are high for Choi Sung-eun's nuanced performance, capturing Ha-kyung's mixed emotions as she reconnects with Do-ha, her summer visitor turned unexpected resident. The anticipated chemistry and banter between Ha-kyung and Do-ha are poised to further enhance the charm of the 'Song Ha-kyung' character.
