Retro Youth Melodrama 'Hundred Memories' Drops Exciting First Episode Preview!
Get ready for a blast from the past! JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama, 'Hundred Memories,' is set to premiere in just four days, and to build anticipation, they've released a compelling preview of the first episode.
The sneak peek offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of the spirited bus conductorettes, played by Kim Da-mi and Shin Ye-eun, and their fateful encounter with their first love, Heo Nam-jun. The drama, set to air on the 13th at 10:40 PM, promises a vibrant youth melodrama brimming with nostalgia, focusing on the shining friendship between Go Young-rye (Kim Da-mi) and Seo Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun) on the No. 100 bus, and the tender first love that blossoms between them.
The first highlight from the preview is the budding relationship between Young-rye and Jong-hee. The video opens with Young-rye diligently ushering passengers onto the bus, shouting "Orai~" with all her might, showcasing her dedication as a model conductor. Jong-hee, upon hearing the rigorous requirements for the job, boldly echoes the call, "If no one else is getting off, Orai!" establishing her as a tenacious newcomer. Despite facing blatant bullying and unfair errands from dormitory dictator Kwon Hae-ja (Lee Min-ji), Jong-hee remains undeterred. The preview hints at their special bond, with lines like "I think I just fell for you" and "I already have," leaving viewers curious about what draws them together.
Secondly, the preview teases the beginning of Young-rye's pure first love, ignited by Han Jae-pil (Heo Nam-jun), who comes to her rescue during a moment of crisis. His gentle gaze and caring words, "Are you okay?" coupled with an emergency treatment using a towel labeled 'Giant,' deeply move Young-rye. Captivated by the clue 'Giant,' she begins searching for him. Their paths cross again at a roller-skating rink, where Jae-pil's remark, "Haven't we met somewhere before?" feels like destiny to Young-rye, promising a wave of exhilarating first love memories.
Finally, the preview unveils the chaotic yet endearing dormitory life of the bus conductorettes, a part that both Kim Da-mi and Shin Ye-eun have highlighted as a memorable experience. The first episode escalates the tension with a mysterious incident: a collective stomachache outbreak after a late-night snack. Young-rye and Jong-hee, who didn't partake in the snack, are suspiciously spared, leading Hae-ja to accuse Jong-hee, pushing her to a precarious point where her hair is pulled. The preview concludes with Young-rye's urgent call to Jong-hee upon discovering something, leaving viewers eager to unravel the dormitory mystery.
The production team commented, "The friendship and first love between bus conductorettes Young-rye and Jong-hee evoke memories of the 80s. Furthermore, the dormitory incident adds a layer of mysterious fun. We hope you enjoy the cheerful and vibrant youth narrative unfolding amidst a nostalgic atmosphere." 'Hundred Memories' is a collaboration between the acclaimed writer Yang Hee-seung, known for creating hit dramas, and director Kim Sang-ho.
Kim Da-mi made her acting debut in the 2018 film 'Marionette'. She has since showcased a wide range of acting skills in dramas like 'Itaewon Class' and 'Our Beloved Summer'. She is currently carefully considering her next project while actively pursuing her career.
