Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee Reignite First Love Romance in 'My Youth'

Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee are set to captivate audiences with a heart-fluttering reunion romance in the upcoming JTBC series 'My Youth'. Known for his striking visuals in the 2012 film 'A Werewolf Boy', Song Joong-ki continues to charm with his youthful appearance even 13 years later.

The first teaser video for 'My Youth', which premieres on September 5th, was released on the 13th, showcasing the reunion of first loves Sun Woo-hae (played by Song Joong-ki) and Sung Jae-yeon (played by Chun Woo-hee).

'My Youth' tells the emotional romance of Sun Woo-hae, who starts a normal life later than most, and Sung Jae-yeon, who unintentionally disrupts the peace of her first love. The series explores the journey of rediscovering forgotten pieces of oneself through a reunion with a first love that once brought light to dark times. Directed by Lee Sang-yeob, known for his delicate touch in series like 'Yumi's Cells' and 'Familiar Wife', and written by Park Si-hyun, who showcased her talent in 'Run On', the drama promises to enchant fans.

While the opening teaser video and poster piqued curiosity about the first love of 19-year-olds, the newly released teaser video hints at the rekindling of their romance as adults. Sung Jae-yeon was the only light in Sun Woo-hae's shadowed youth, and his eyes reflect more than just surprise when he calls out her unforgettable name.

The moment they face each other, memories of their pure and dream-filled first love flood back. Sung Jae-yeon's words, "It would be a lie to say I never thought of you. Meeting you again instantly took me back," revive deep-seated emotions. Her wish for Sun Woo-hae's wounds to heal quickly remains unchanged from their youth. Sun Woo-hae's warm gaze towards Sung Jae-yeon is equally unwavering. His voice, asking, "Did you miss me too? How I've grown?" reveals his longing for his first love. Despite the passage of time, the essence of 'first love' remains unchanged, drawing attention to their reunion romance.

Born in 1985, Song Joong-ki transforms into Sun Woo-hae, a former child star and novelist turned florist who burned through his prime too quickly. After exhausting his youth for survival, he built a solid life over his scars. His peaceful routine is disrupted by the reappearance of his first love, Sung Jae-yeon. Chun Woo-hee plays Sung Jae-yeon, a bulldozer management team leader who prefers clarity and is Sun Woo-hae's first love. Living an unremarkable life, she inadvertently disrupts Sun Woo-hae's peace and confronts forgotten emotions. The reunion of first loves Sun Woo-hae and Sung Jae-yeon is eagerly anticipated to see what delightful chaos it will bring to their lives.

'My Youth' premieres on September 5th at 8:50 PM and will air two consecutive episodes every Friday. In Korea, it will be available on Coupang Play, while in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, it can be watched on Viu, Asia's largest regional OTT platform.
