According to director Byun Young Joo, the film is essentially a story about a son suffering for his mother and those who are trying to end the vicious cycle of the victims.
Meanwhile, Song Joong Ki and Chun Woo Hee's new romantic drama - "My Youth" has aired its first two consecutive episodes with ratings of 2.9% and 2.8% respectively. This figure is somewhat low compared to the general level. However, the fact that the station aired 2 consecutive episodes on the same evening is considered the reason for this.
The film is about Sun Woo Hae (Song Joong Ki) - a former child star who has passed his peak and is now starting a simple life as a flower shop owner. But the return of Sung Je Yeon (Chun Woo Hee) - Sun Woo Hae's first love, currently the team leader of an entertainment company, brought unexpected changes and shook his life.
