KBS 2TV has raised anticipation for its newest weekend miniseries Last Summer, by unveiling the drama’s main poster, stirring up curiosity about the tender yet complicated relationship at the heart of the story.
Scheduled to premiere on Saturday, November 1, Last Summer is billed as a “remodeling romance”—a heartfelt reimagining of first love as two childhood friends, once inseparable, are forced to confront the truths they’ve long kept hidden.
Featured in the drama are Baek Do-ha, played by Lee Jae Wook, and Song Ha-kyung, portrayed by Choi Sung Eun. Their connection dates back to one fleeting summer when they shared just 21 days together, creating memories that lingered long after. While Do-ha eventually faded from Ha-kyung’s everyday life, she quietly tucked away her unspoken feelings for him—the kind of secret that shapes a person’s heart over time. But fate has other plans. An incident two years ago drove an even deeper wedge between them, and now, Do-ha suddenly reappears in Patanmyeon, shaking up Ha-kyung’s world once more and forcing both to confront what was left unsaid.
The newly released poster perfectly captures the warmth and innocence of their shared past. Dressed in comfortable, casual clothes, Do-ha is pictured with a playful grin as he loses himself in a handheld game console, while Ha-kyung leans in from behind, wrapping him in a gentle embrace. Their carefree expressions and closeness exude the simplicity of youthful summers—a stark contrast to the complicated reality that now awaits them as adults. This juxtaposition between past joy and present tension adds depth to the visual, leaving viewers eager to uncover the story hidden in their intertwined history.
Last Summer promises to explore themes of nostalgia, regret, and the enduring pull of first love. Will Do-ha’s unexpected return heal old wounds, or will it open Pandora’s box of memories best left untouched? With Lee Jae-wook and Choi Sung-eun bringing emotional intensity and subtle chemistry to their roles, the drama is already being hailed as one of the most anticipated romantic titles of the season.
KBS 2TV’s Last Summer premieres on November 1 at 9:20 PM, inviting audiences to revisit the bittersweet beauty of first love and the second chances that sometimes come when we least expect them.
