Since this drama is categorized as romance, I am wondering whether the physical intimacy is minimal. Does it include any kiss scenes, or is it mainly focused on emotional romance?
Why is Woo Min always the 2nd lead?in every drama, movie he starred in, people talk about him more than the main…
I 100% agree that Woo Min deserves main lead roles, but sadly getting that first big lead in a large-scale drama often comes down to luck, especially for actors who have not been around long like Woo Min. Kim Hye Joon, for example, did not get her first major lead until 2021 with ‘Inspector Koo’, about 6 years after starting out in mostly smaller second lead or guest roles.
Kang Hoon’s case is even crazier. He began acting in 2016, nearly 10 years ago, mainly in small roles. It took him 4 years to get his first proper main role as a side character in ‘Meow, the Secret Boy’ in 2020, and another 5 years to finally land his first male lead role in 2025 with ‘Hunter with a Scalpel’. In comparison, Woo Min is already on a good path, since it only took him 2 years to get a main role in ‘Night Has Come’. Still, luck plays a huge part in all of this. Woo Min could get his first lead role in 1 year, or it could take 10, which is just the sad reality.
I really loved this drama! Oh and I just realized that this was a reunion drama between Junho and Kim Hye Joon, they both starred in 'Rain or Shine' together as siblings.
I’m currently on episode 4 and I already love this so much. I haven’t watched a CDrama like this in a while. It feels grounded and genuinely mature, instead of rushing into romance just for the sake of it. The characters behave like real adults, and the way connections form feels natural rather than forced. There’s no instant obsession or exaggerated advances, just subtle attraction, casual conversations, and a sense of taking things at a realistic pace. That restraint and patience in how the drama handles relationships is what I really love.
-----------------------------------------EDIT AFTER FINISHING THE DRAMA-----------------------------------------
I still really appreciate the realism, mature tone, and natural romance, but I was honestly disappointed by how little focus the main couple ended up getting. As the drama went on, it spent far too much time on side characters and their storylines, sometimes giving them more development than the actual leads. Even with 18 episodes, it felt like only a small part of the show was really about the main couple, which threw off the pacing and made it lose some of the spark it had at the start.
The fls acting is quite average, is she new to the industry? I think i have never seen her before.....Also she…
She’s actually pretty new to the K-drama scene. She focused more on movies earlier in her career, so Last Summer is her first K-drama as a female lead. She was also in The Sound of Magic, starring Hwang In Youp and Ji Chang Wook, where she had a main role but wasn’t the protagonist.
Even though she’s had a lot of main roles, most of her earlier projects weren’t that well known, so a lot of people just aren’t familiar with her yet. That can make it feel like she doesn’t have the usual main-lead vibe.
What happened to this actor, he's gone completely awol from the acting industry since 2023, sure he's gonna do a cameo in Taxi driver 3, but I wouldn't really count that. He's very underrated
