Taking us down the first love memory lane, a new teaser has gently breezed in for tvN’s upcoming Serendipity’s Embrace, bringing the stirrings of fuzzy romance for our leads: Kim So-hyun (My Lovely Liar) and Chae Jong-hyeop (Castaway Diva, Eye Love You).
We thus begin the teaser in flashback, as Kang Hoo-young (Chae Jong-hyeop) reminisces about their high school days, when he first took notice of our smiling heroine (Kim So-hyun) ten years in the past. It doesn’t take long for Hoo-young to become smitten and in voiceover, he recalls, “Lee Hong-joo, I don’t know when it started. When you call out, ‘Kang Hoo-young,’ it feels heavy here from beating so much.”
As our pair’s relationship blossoms, we wistfully read in the appearing captions, “First love. Can it start again?” The teaser then switches to Hong-joo’s perspective, who realizes feelings on her part when a tired Hoo-young had fallen asleep on her shoulder. Putting a hand to her heart, she honestly reveals that, “My heart just skipped right now.”
The final sequence continues all the lovey dovey feels and looks to be a rekindling of sparks when our leads are reunited again in the present by chance. But something must have changed for Hong-joo during the ten years our leads were apart. And as the teaser comes to a close, we’re left with Hoo-young pondering about coincidences as Hoo-young questions what exactly happened to Hong-joo during that time.
Helmed by PD Song Hyun-wook (The Midnight Studio, The King’s Affection) with Park Geu-ro writing, tvN’s webtoon adaptation Serendipity’s Embrace will be premiering next month on July 22.
