Starring Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si, Youth of May readies to paint an evocative romance story next month.
Dubbed as romance retro melodrama, the series sealed its premiere date on May 3 via KBS 2TV. Youth of May threads on the fated encounter of a man and a woman who fell in love with each other amidst the turbulent situation in May 1980.
Joining the main cast of Youth of May are Lee Sang Yi and Geum Sae Rok. It is penned by Lee Kang, who wrote a number of works including the film, The Spy. PD Song Min-yup (co-director Doctor Prisoner) will be orchestrating the production.
In the poster released today, Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si are highlighted in what looks like a vintage photo of lovers sweetly flirting under the bright sunlight.
While Lee’s character evokes cheerfulness beaming happily, Go’s character reflects a faint smile. Just looking at the poster, it also hints on the love pairing’s difference in personalities. One brims confidence while the other shows an uneasy attitude.
It is definitely interesting to see how the romance will blossom between them. Notably, the street setting of the photo also featured the 80’s landscape. Its nostalgic appeal from the friendly bus stop, green chairs, and flyers attached to telephone poles add emphasis to the yesteryear vibe.
On April 20, a new poster was unveiled with the love pairing entangled in an entrancing gaze. The production crew hinted how the ’80’s setting makes it impossible to entertain romantic feelings owing to the harsh political reality.
Heightening anticipation with its newly released poster, Youth of May taps on summoning the memories of one’s first love. Previously, it also unveiled filming photos of its hero, Lee Do Hyun, who looks dapper assimilating to his medical student character Hwang Hee-tae. Likewise, Go Min Si also immerses in her role as nursing student Kim Myeong-hee.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s new Monday and Tuesday drama Youth of May will be broadcast for the first time on May 3.
