Starring Choi WooShik who received a lot of recognition during his role in the award-winning film “Parasite” and Kim DaMi who also got a lot of praise for her role in the hit K-Drama “Itaewon Class”, many are looking forward to seeing the pair on-screen together. The drama tells the story of a dizzying romance under the guise of a youth documentary that puts two people in front of the camera after 10 years of a relationship that should have come to an end already. The drama is actually based on a webtoon. The webtoon “Our Beloved Summer - Good Early Summer!” is the prequel to the K-Drama. The webtoon tells the story of a month in the life of the top student in school, Kook YeonSu, and last place in the school, Choi Woong. It was written by Han GyeongChal. You can read the webtoon (in Korean) here. Let’s meet the characters from the webtoon.
