**"Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa" - The Most Beautiful and Brightest Time of Life**A poignant and beautiful love story featuring the current lives of actors Yu Jite and Lee Boyon, who play characters from their university days, with Jinyoung from GOT7 and Chon Soni portraying their youthful pasts.
**Key Points of the Work**- Yu Jite and Lee Boyon star together! The two play their university selves, with Jinyoung (GOT7) and Chon Soni portraying their younger versions.- Yu Jite, beloved by a wide audience, has played a variety of roles including the leading role in "Star's Lover," which was a big hit in Japan, and a popular journalist in "Healer" starring Choi Chang-wook. He passionately portrays Je-hyun, who has become a ruthless businessman, abandoning his university days.- Lee Boyon, whose timeless beauty continues to impress, has played challenging roles such as a woman raising her abandoned child as her own in the drama "Mother" and its Korean remake "Mother ~ Unconditional Love ~," and co-starred with Lee Jong-suk in "You Are My Voice." She plays Ji-s, who, in stark contrast to her wealthy childhood, raises her son alone.- Additionally, the highly popular global idol group GOT7's Jinyoung and rising star actress Chon Soni deliver excellent performances as their youthful selves. Scenes where past and present intertwine evoke both sadness and warmth.- Supporting roles include Park Siyun as Chang Sogyong, Je-hyun’s kind yet naive wife, and Lee Teseon as Chu Younu, who has watched over Ji-s since their student days, adding depth to the story.
- A mature love story about a man and woman who have a fateful reunion with their first love, and are drawn to each other once again.- During university, Ji-s, who was active as a student activist, and Je-hyun, who started dating her after her passionate pursuit, begin their relationship. However, one day Ji-s disappears without explanation.- After walking different paths, they unexpectedly reunite after more than 20 years. Their beautiful first love becomes a memory, and now, having changed completely, they realize their mutual importance and confront their past selves at their most radiant.- This delicately portrayed love story will surely resonate. Will they be able to overcome numerous trials and find the "most beautiful and happiest time of life" (Hwa Yang Yeon Hwa)?
**Nostalgic 90s Sensibility and Beautiful Piano Music**- The work features many beautiful piano pieces performed by Ji-s, who majored in piano. Among them, André Gagnon’s "Rencontre" symbolizes the beautiful days of their university years.- Additionally, Yu Jite performs "Because I Love You" by singer Yu Jaeha in the drama, perfectly fitting the atmosphere.- Other music, such as Nogiku’s "Congratulations," which appears in key scenes, creates a nostalgic feeling despite being unfamiliar, enhancing the drama’s charm.
