Choi Sooyoung and Gong Myung’s Evolving Chemistry Shines in “Second Shot at Love” – kdramadiary

tvN’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama has unveiled a compelling preview of the emotional journey between its two leads, Han Geum-ju and Seo Ui-jun, ahead of its May 12 premiere.

The newly released stills highlight a three-stage transformation in their relationship—from youthful connection to strained distance, and finally, to a cautious reunion. Once inseparable high school classmates and drinking buddies, Geum-ju (Choi Sooyoung) and Ui-jun (Gong Myung) are pulled apart by an unknown incident. Years later, fate reunites them in their quiet hometown, Bocheon Village, setting the stage for a heartfelt exploration of unresolved feelings and emotional growth.

The first photo captures the innocence of their school days, with Geum-ju gazing at Ui-jun in her helmet, and Ui-jun returning the look with a tender smile—offering a glimpse of their genuine bond during youth. In contrast, the next image shows their drinking heyday: surrounded by passed-out friends, the two share a silent yet intense moment over full glasses, hinting at deeper, unspoken emotions beneath their alcohol-fueled camaraderie.

The most telling image, however, is from the present day—Geum-ju and Ui-jun sit across from each other in a café, now sipping tea instead of liquor. Their postures are stiff, their expressions uncertain. The warmth and ease from the past are gone, replaced by a tentative awkwardness that speaks volumes.

Second Shot at Love promises a moving storyline that delves into the complexity of relationships shaped by time, memory, and sobriety. Will Han Geum-ju and Seo Ui-jun rediscover their past closeness, or has time built a distance too wide to bridge?

Featuring emotionally charged storytelling and layered performances, viewers are eager to find out what lies ahead for these two soulmates turned strangers.
