The upcoming South Korean romance drama Way Back Love has released its first trailer and stills, providing fans with an intriguing glimpse into a story of love, loss, and unexpected reunions. Starring Kim Min Ha, best known for her role in Pachinko, and Gong Myung of Be Melodramatic fame, the drama is set to captivate audiences with its emotional storyline. The trailer was revealed ahead of its premiere at the 29th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) 2024.
First Look at the Trailer and Plot
On September 4, 2024, Way Back Love‘s trailer debuted at BIFF, offering a sneak peek into the complex relationship between Kim Min Ha’s and Gong Myung’s characters. Kim Min Ha plays Kim Ra Moo, a lively and carefree girl who unexpectedly crosses paths with her former schoolmate, Kim Ram Woo, played by Gong Myung. Their quirky connection begins when Kim Ra Moo, in her playful nature, swaps name badges with Kim Ram Woo during physical training, leading to humorous yet heartfelt moments.
Their story quickly transitions from lighthearted to deeply emotional. As the two characters develop romantic feelings, the trailer shifts to a much darker tone. The turning point arrives when Kim Ra Moo opens her door, only to find Kim Ram Woo standing there—despite him having died four years earlier. This shocking reunion sets the stage for a narrative that delves into themes of love, grief, and the pain of unresolved pasts.
“Why is he back after all these years?” Kim Ra Moo asks herself, grappling with the return of her deceased boyfriend.
Stills Capture Key Moments
The first stills from the drama were also revealed, showcasing pivotal moments in the storyline. One of the most impactful stills depicts Kim Min Ha‘s character standing in shock upon seeing her dead boyfriend. Other images reflect happier times from their school days, with both characters surrounded by classmates and sharing joyful moments.
Fantasy Romance with a Twist
Way Back Love is described as a coming-of-age fantasy romance, where a young woman who has lost hope after the death of her boyfriend finds her world turned upside down when he reappears—this time as a grim reaper. As the story unfolds, viewers will see how Kim Ra Moo confronts old wounds while uncovering new truths about her lost love.
The drama will be released on TVING later this year, promising to be a deeply emotional and fantastical ride through love, loss, and second chances.
