“First, For Love” Unveils Heartwarming Script Reading – A Drama Full of Second Chances and First Loves – kdramadiary
The cast and crew of First, For Love gathered for a vibrant and emotional script reading, offering a promising glimpse into tvN’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama, set to premiere this August.
First, For Love tells a refreshingly original story about a single mom and her medical student daughter who, in an unexpected twist of fate, begin the second act of their lives. It’s not a tale of final goodbyes, but of first loves rekindled and new joys discovered—centered on the idea of choosing happiness today, not someday. The drama promises a rich blend of laughter, love, and heartfelt moments that resonate deeply with viewers.
The series is helmed by romance hitmaker Yoo Je-won, known for beloved titles like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, Crash Course in Romance, and Love Next Door, and penned by fresh writing talent bringing a bright, emotional script to life.
At the script reading, energy filled the room as a star-studded cast brought the story to life. Veteran talents like Yeom Jeong-ah, Park Hae-joon, Kim Sun-young, Kim Mi-kyung, and Kang Ae-sim, alongside rising stars Choi Yoon-ji and Kim Min-gyu, lit up the session. Their synergy sparked excitement—from sweet middle-aged romance and swoon-worthy youth love to complex, lovable family dynamics that walk the line between affection and exasperation.
Yeom Jeong-ah leads as Lee Ji-an, a bold, self-made single mom and formidable construction site manager, who’s also deeply soft-hearted when it comes to her daughter, Lee Hyo-ri (Choi Yoon-ji). Her transformation—brought on by her daughter’s unexpected rebellion and the reappearance of her first love—was portrayed with nuance and charm, leaving everyone convinced they were witnessing something special.
Filled with charm, warmth, and just the right touch of sparkle, First, For Love is shaping up to be a healing drama about rediscovery, second chances, and the surprising beauty of living in the moment.
