Crown Prince Park Hyeong-sik's struggle story 'Youth Month'
The first episode contains meaningful rumors surrounding Crown Prince Lee Hwan (played by Park Hyeong-sik) in tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Worth of Youth' (written by Jeong Hyeon-jeong/directed by Lee Jong-jae/produced by Writing & Pictures/planned by Studio Dragon), which will be aired for the first time on February 6 (Monday). The teaser video foretells the beginning of inevitable fate.
'A Tale of Youth' is a youth salvation romance that tells the story of a crown prince who is under a mysterious curse and a genius girl who is singled out as the culprit of a family murder case overnight. The character Lee Hwan, played by Park Hyeong-sik in the play, is a person who hides a secret beneath his prickly personality and beautiful appearance. He sits on a splendid throne and establishes the dignity of the nation, but there is always an unknown threat lurking around him.
In the first teaser video released, you can get a glimpse of the ominous energy targeting Crown Prince Lee Hwan. Lee Hwan’s question, “Did you hear that too? “I was cursed by a ghost,” as he crosses the middle of a forest filled with an eerie atmosphere, gives us an idea of how the world views him.
Next, the image of Lee Hwan aiming the bowstring with unusual eyes as if possessed by something, the sight of a woman hit by an arrow, and even red drops of blood continue to heighten anxiety. There are various speculations as to whether he is truly suffering from a nasty curse as rumored.
In the midst of this, Lee Hwan reveals his will, saying, “Even if I receive that curse, I will not be shaken.” From the upright attitude of the man wearing the crown beyond the slowly closing door, you can feel the spirit that will not break no matter what happens. There is growing curiosity as to whether Lee Hwan will be able to protect his own safety from the strange curse and the rumors surrounding it.
In this way, 'Youth Moonlight', which introduced the beginning of a life-changing mystery through the first teaser video, is expected to provide a variety of fun, from heartbreaking romance to exciting events, with the story of a youth trying to create his own life against fate. Above all, director Lee Jong-jae, who opened a new horizon for youth historical dramas with 'My Husband for 100 Days', and writer Jeong Hyeon-jung, a master of romantic comedies, are working together to raise even more expectations.
tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Youth Month', which will unfold the struggles of Crown Prince Park Hyeong-sik, who does not give in to fate, will premiere at 8:50 pm on Monday, February 6th.
