Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun Unveil First Teaser for 'The Last Summer,' Igniting Childhood Romance

Actor Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun are set to captivate audiences with their upcoming KBS 2TV drama, 'The Last Summer,' having just released its first teaser video that hints at the beginning of a childhood romance.

Scheduled to premiere on November 1st at 9:20 PM, 'The Last Summer' is a remodeling romance drama that delves into the story of a man and woman, friends since childhood, who confront the truth about their hidden first love.

The series boasts a talented creative team, with director Min Yeon-hong, known for his work on 'Royal Loader' and the 'Missing: The Other Side' series, collaborating with writer Jeon Yu-ri, who penned 'Kiss Sixth Sense' and 'Radio Romance.' The cast also includes promising actors like Lee Jae-wook, Choi Sung-eun, and Kim Geon-woo.

The newly released teaser opens with glimpses into the daily lives of Baek Do-ha (played by Lee Jae-wook) and Song Ha-gyeong (played by Choi Sung-eun), set against the backdrop of a vibrant summer. The scenery of the picturesque town of Patan adds to the captivating visuals.

Scenes of Do-ha and Ha-gyeong living their separate lives, separated only by a wall in their peanut houses, create intrigue. Ha-gyeong's attempt to peek at Do-ha through a hole in the wall, met with his knowing smile, sparks curiosity about their dynamic.

Ha-gyeong's question, "Did you hire a lawyer?" and Do-ha's response, "Someone sent me a legal notice after two years," further tease the complex history between the two, leaving viewers eager to uncover their story.

Despite their bickering, moments of undeniable chemistry emerge, culminating in a scene where Do-ha leans in as if to kiss Ha-gyeong. His narration, "When I see you, I remember the me who liked you back then," is followed by flashbacks to their sweet and innocent school days, creating a stark contrast and raising questions about how this once-sweet pair became adversaries.
