Park Hyung-sik shakes off his harshness

A green trust is sprouting between Park Hyung-sik and Jeon So-ni, which had dried up due to cold distrust.



In the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'A Tale of Youth' (written by Jeong Hyeon-jung/directed by Lee Jong-jae/planned by Studio Dragon/produced by Writing & Picture Media), the cursed crown prince Lee Hwan (played by Park Hyeong-sik) and the murder suspect Min Jae-i (played by Jeon So-ni) take a step toward the truth of the mystery. As they get closer, their hearts open to each other and their relationship changes. Accordingly, we looked at the moment when a warm spring breeze blew between the two, who were otherwise chilly.



#. Min Jae-i becomes the first subject of the lonely crown prince! Obtain a cozy secret room!

Min Jae-i, who was on the verge of being kicked out of the palace with the Gupo letter with his face drawn on it, provoked Lee Hwan by shouting out the secret of his hidden curse, while also kneeling in front of Lee Hwan and begging for help. Lee Hwan was intrigued by Min Jae-i's words, 'I came to become the crown prince's first subject' and gave the order to 'come to the East Palace' if he wanted to become his subject.



Min Jae-yi showed his wit by disguising himself as an internal officer of the East Palace and approached him, and successfully passed Lee Hwan's first test. Lee Hwan's unpredictable behavior, such as activating his hidden playfulness during the test and causing a crisis, but also answering and helping Min Jae-i, who hesitated when others asked his name, embarrassed Min Jae-i.



Lee Hwan gave Min Jae-i, who completed the order, the opportunity to prove his abilities as promised, and at the same time gave him his secret space, which he used when he was injured a year ago, as a home. However, Lee Hwan still has not fully opened up his feelings to Min Jae-i. Min Jae-i also noticed that Lee Hwan did not trust him, so the relationship between the two people, who are filled with suspicion, is arousing interest.



#. Lee Hwan's apple reward that never misses a time to be proud, a moment to praise, or an opportunity to give a reward ♥

Min Jae-i, who had been subjected to all kinds of criticism from his seniors since his first day of work, enjoyed chatting with Lee Hwan as he dressed him in clothes with his clumsy hands. Lee Hwan, who was energized by Min Jae-yi's compliment that 'It's really cool that the Donggungjeon is located in the place where the sun rises first', did not miss the moment and showed a confident response, but when he was told that his fiancé was more handsome than him, he made a dull expression. It made me laugh.



As Min Jae-yi spent more time with Lee Hwan as Go Sun-dol, an internal officer at the Donggungjeon, their teamwork began to gradually improve. After finding out why the messenger Lee Hwan sent to Min Jae-i's house died, the two put their heads together to analyze the transmission process of the unknown secret message, and discovered the first valuable clue between the curse and the murder case. Lee Hwan's extraordinary memory, which he never forgets once he sees it, and Min Jae-yi's reasoning ability, which solved numerous cases of Gaeseong, are the perfect combination.



The collaboration between the two geniuses was also demonstrated in the process of finding clues to a murder case that occurred in the capital. Min Jae-yi's argument that the criminal who committed three murders in a row was looking for a good day was made more persuasive by supplementing Lee Hwan's explanation. Lee Hwan then gave an apple to Min Jae-i, who made a neat deduction, and praised her hard work, foreshadowing that their relationship would gradually change.



In this way, 'A Tale of Youth' is adding a unique kind of fun to the mystery through the fresh harmony of Lee Hwan and Min Jae-i, who are working towards the same goal. Previously, Park Hyeong-sik (playing the role of Lee Hwan) described the relationship between Lee Hwan and Min Jae-i as 'four seasons', making us curious about what the two young people will experience in the future between winter and spring.
