It is a remake of the legendary romance movie of the same name that created a craze for first love romance movies not only in Taiwan but also in South Korea.

Jinyoung, who has shown colorful acting in various works including ‘The Dude in Me’ and the Netflix series ‘Sweet Home’, has taken on the role of Jinwoo in his teens and twenties, when he loved playing the most.
