“My Youth” stars Song Joong-ki and Chun Woo-hee invite us to reconnect with our younger selves through their new K-drama on Viu.
In a video posted by Viu Philippines, Song Joong-ki shared that “My Youth” tells the story of two people who were each other’s first love. Fifteen years later, the characters meet again as adults and begin a new chapter together.
“As you watch each scene, we hope it will be a beautiful time for you as well to revisit your own youthful days once more,” he said.
For her part, Chun Woo-hee said “My Youth” captures the journey of rediscovering one’s true self — the pure self from the past that was forgotten while facing reality.
“What have we become as time has passed?” the drama asks in its trailer, which gives viewers a sneak peek at the nostalgic story of “My Youth.”
In “My Youth,” Sunwoo Hae (Song Joong-ki), a florist and novelist, was once Korea’s beloved child star. His first love, Sung Je-yeon (Chun Woo-hee), formerly a model student, is now the manager of actress Mo Tae-rin (Lee Ju-myoung). Completing the main characters is Kim Seok-ju (Seo Ji-hoon), a tax accountant and Tae-rin’s first love.
Woo-hae and Je-yeon meet again while the latter searches for the mysterious novelist Jin Mu-yeong to secure a TV show spot for Tae-rin. Their reunion allows them to reflect on their past and reflect amid personal and professional challenges.
Portraying the younger version of Song Joong-ki’s character in “My Youth” is Nam Da-reum, known to many K-dramas fans as the young Han Ji-pyeong, a beloved character in “Start-Up.”
Song Joong-ki visited the Philippines in May for his much-anticipated IAM Song Joong-ki Live in Manila at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Thanks to health and wellness company IAM Worldwide, thousands of fans got a rare chance to see him in person.
