JTBC's upcoming drama project "My Youth" is gaining attention after releasing the first images of the two main actors Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee.
"My Youth" is a romantic drama, revolving around the story of Sunwoo Hae (Song Joong Ki) - a former child star who has passed his peak and is now a flower shop owner, starting a more simple life later than most people.
For those who have had a dark and difficult youth like Sunwoo Hae, wandering around the flower market at dawn and taking care of trees is a simple happiness.
But the return of Sung Je Yeon (Chun Woo Hee), Sunwoo Hae's 19-year-old first love, brought unexpected changes and shook his life. The mystery of why Sunwoo Hae is a novelist but is anonymous and lives in seclusion is also gradually revealed.
In particular, Song Joong Ki's appearance as a flower shop owner became a hot topic. Although he is 39 years old and the father of 2 children in real life, the actor still has a youthful face like a man in his twenties.
The light curly, fluffy hair and comfortable dressing make the audience even more reminded of Song Joong Ki's "male god" image in works such as "The Origin of the Sun" and "Vincenzo".
My Youth is the first TV series project that Song Joong Ki has starred in since the 2022 film The Youngest Son of a Talented Son.
For the past 3 years, in addition to playing a guest role in the TV series Queen of Tears, Song Joong Ki has only focused on the film industry.
He starred in three films Hopeless, My Name Is Loh Kiwan and Bogota: City of the Lost.
In these projects, Song Joong Ki tried to change. No longer the handsome, gilded handsome man that is often seen, his characters have strange, dusty, and darker images, associated with social topics.
In other words, Song Joong Ki seems to do bad things to himself to try different roles. However, these projects did not explode as expected.
The audience believes that Song Joong Ki still has a stronger advantage in choosing scripts and TV roles. The proof is that his appearance in the new film is receiving positive feedback.
Regarding the decision to choose the project, Song Joong Ki shared: From the moment I read the script for My Youth, I felt extremely warm. I love this humane love story, a genre that I have not had the opportunity to experience for a long time.
Unlike my previous roles that were strongly fanciful, the character Sunwoo Hae is close to reality and really touches me".
The film "My Youth" is scheduled to air on September 5.
